On tap in Appleton. Good wheat taste. Definitely lives up to its name, some hops but not as much as I thought there would be. Definitely works well and would buy again

7/15/2008: Island Wheat has a bright, sunny appearance. It is yellow in color, cloudy, generously carbonated, and sports a pillowy head of white foam. The light and refreshing aroma contains lemony citrus, faint wheat malt, a bit of yeast, and definitely some floral hoppiness. The flavor is light and refreshing, but not quite as pronounced as the aroma. Maybe weak is a better way to describe it. It has a minerally water base with some wheaty malt, zesty citrus, and yeastiness on top. Quite drinkable overall, but I was hoping for a bit more umpf behind it...

12 fl. oz can from Mark (buckybeer). Thank you! Rating #104 for this beer...

pours a light white yellow with a huge three finger fluffy white head. aroma is light wheat and a little hops. has a medium body with thick lacing and descent carbonation. flavor is the same as aroma. it is thin on the palate, but creamy as well. has some sediment floating around also. its ok, very session-able.

Pours a hazy light gold color with a decent head. Light aroma, not a lot there. Nice sweetness and decent palate.

12 oz can. Poured a cloudy golden color, with a thin white head. Aroma was very slight, mostly malt. Flavor was slightly malty, with a bit of yeast at the end. There is a bit of a mineral water flavor as well, not unpleasant. Palate was a bit fizzy, not my style really but worked well with mineral water flavor. Overall not a bad wheat ale.
