3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Overripe lemon, banana, and clove nose. Milky yellow, medium head. Tangy banana flavor, which lingers on the palate for a long time. Decidedly no cloves present on the palate. Very thin. Like the brewer’s Roseland Wheat, this was also thin and soapy, but this is quite a bit better. Either way, I’m not sure wheats are this brewer’s forte.

Draft. Pours gold with a white head. Light sweet aroma with some wheaty notes. The flavor has a light honey sweetness, wheat, and some light fruity notes. Not bad.

3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap at the brewpub last weekend.
Pours a very hazy light yellow color with a booming white head that is quite fluffy and sticks around for a bit. Rings and sheets of lacing on the way down. The nose brings some light bubblegum, clove, and banana, though it’s certainly a bit muted. The flavor takes a bit step up from there with heavy bubblegum and light clove, along with some banana as it warms. Light body with good carbonation and a slight creaminess. Very well done.
Serving type: on-tap

a cream of wheat type brew with touch of alcohol in the flavor. i think it was true to form and had a citrus in mint type of pure sweet flavor that could discourage, but should be tried...because it is good, and also demonstrative. true fresh malt wheat infusion to the taste and well placed yeast in the body. one of the very few wheats that i have enjoyed. refreshing and more than one dimensional.
