Smells very light, just a bit of wheat and orange that I squeezed in. Golden in colour, no floaties, not much foam. Light flavour, allows he wheat to show, just a hint of hops. Pretty much what I expected without he cranberry flavour.

On tap at the Yukon mining co. Pours clear and slightly orange with a thick white head. Aroma is very dull and unimpresive with slight notes of banana. Tastes pretty weak. Slighly malty and citrus with notes of sweaty feet. It tastes like my boots smell after a day in the bush. This beer sucks.

A pretty decent wheat beer, but with no outstanding characteristics. Nose of mild hops and toast, Mild carbonation, thin palate and slightly bitter finish. Light body. It would be a good summertime brew but nothing to write home about.

Sample, draught, drank on site on August 2 2008; eye: copper, no effervescence, clear, white head that disappears completely; nose: malt, corn; mouth: malt, corn, grainy, finale in malt with a hint of caramel, mot much carbonation, medium body, creamy texture; overall: so? FRANÇAIS Échantillon, en fût, bue sur place le 2 août 2008; oeil : cuivrée, pas d’effervescence, claire, mousse blanche qui disparaît complètement; nez : malt, maïs; bouche : malt, maïs, granuleuse, finale en malt avec une petite pointe de caramel, peu carbonatée, corps moyen, texture crémeuse; en résumé : bof!

Another one of those ’nothing special’ summer wheats.
