3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
On tap at the brewery. Golden color with diminishing white head. The orange kick in the flavor makes this a very refreshing summer beer. Enjoyable.

From notes 5/17/03:
For a wheat beer, this sure does pour rather clear and not cloudy in the least bit. Pale straw yellow. White head fizzes away quickly to not even a trace. No film on top. No lacing. Aromas are somewhat grassy and just a touch yeasty. Slight nasty metallic smell too. Strange. The taste isn’t too "wheaty": no clove, no banana, and really not much of a yeast taste. A crisp grassiness with some of the same metallic feel as the aroma. Rather thin mouthfeel. Good on a summer’s day when it’s nice and cold. This may be a candidate for a frosty mug to kill off most of the flavor and just drink it. Won’t try it again.
2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Pours deep gold with medium white head. Aroma of slight hopcit, some wheat, some off musky hints. Tastes witish, with a somewhat watery palate and finish.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
On draught at Palmetto Pub in the Charleston airport. Clear golden color with a thin white head and tiny trails of bubbles. Thin and spotty lacing. The aroma is lightly wheaty with a pinch of hops. Light-bodied and mildly carbonated with small amounts of wheat and citrus flavor. The finish is pretty bland. Decent, but nothing to write home about.
2.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Lemon grass dominates the flavor of this wheat. A little too light of a wheat beer for me.
2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
This wheat ale pours a pale yellow color with an entirely diminishing white head. The aroma is not very good, it smells like wet cardboard and gym socks. It has a light body with low carboantion and a weak, watery mouthfeel. The flavor is barely sweet and wheaty, with only a faint hint of spices. The finish is weak and watery, with no additional flavors. Very uninteresting.
0.8 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 2/20
Watered down flavorless beer. No sign of wheat anywhere, or anything else for that matter. Not enjoyable at all. Don't kid yourself, this isn't beer -- It is yellow tap water.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
A little too wheaty for my taste, but a good beer for this type.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Solid wheat beer, nice in the summer, goes best with a slice of orange
