Commercial Description:
This unfiltered golden beer has a refreshing, crisp taste, and a hint of coriander, sure to keep you cool in the long, lazy days of summer. What better way to celebrate the independence of our nation, than with a TRUE American styled Wheat beer!

A hazy yellow beer with a beige head. The aroma is sweet with light wheaty notes. The flavor is sweet with light notes of wheat, and with a dry wheaty end. Boring, but won’t offend anybody.

Cloudy dull straw colour. Really strong tangerine/lime aroma. Fairly bland flavour. Lightly yeasty (foot), citrusy (key lime) and malty (white bread) flavour. There is a light tartness in the finish, rendering it more refreshing and thus more enjoyable than it probably deserves to be.

Bottle: Pours a transparent bright golden with an effervescent froth of wispy-lacing white head. Nose of lightly sweet malted wheat with some grainy notes and noble hops. Body starts with about average fullness, but not much malty flavor and a touch of mild tartness and husky character. Finshes drier and more bitter. American wheats aren’t my favorite style, but there are much better examples than this one.

Draft at Fox & Hound, Wilmington, NC... NTB Ernesto Festo ’06... Mostly clear yellow ale with a small, creamy, white head. Good retention. Citrusy, wheat aroma. Well-balanced, crisp, citrusy flavor. Lively carbonation. Finishes tangy and dry.
