Clear and light gold with minimal head. Light lemon aroma likely from the one that I just took off the rim. Semi-sweet with only faint notes of citrus. Not a great example of a wheat.

Tap at the brewpub. Light gold pour with a small spotty white head. Mild wheat and a bit watery. A bit dull.

I had this at the brewpub in downtown Napa. For what this beer is trying to be, a light bodied wheat, it does a decent job.

Very pale yellow with a fizzy white head. Grainy mildly citrus aroma and taste with a bready finish.

Draft. Low soapy head on cloudy gold. Soft grassy, bready aromas. Flavors are very subtle flour, cracker, green herb, and soda. Finishes crisply but overall rather spare.

On tap @ the brewery. Pissy skunky pale malt nose. Light watery malts skunky notes. Not good

Draft at the brewpub. Poured a clear yellow color. Head was thin and white. No lace was left behind. Aroma was of subdued banana and minimal citrus. Flavor was a combination of cereal grain, caramel, and light banana. Pretty lifeless.

Had on tap at the brewery in napa. Very corona-ish in both appearance and experience. Served with a lime wedge. Not very wheaty at all rather a slight sweetness and hop prescence. Is quite refreshing on a hot summer night.

Draft. Pale straw color with a nice white head. Very wheaty flavor. Light wheat aroma. Too much wheat and nothing being provided by the yeast.

Had on tap at the brewpub in Napa. Starts off with a slight flowery aroma. Light golden appearance, slight white head. Has a tad bit of honey sweetness to it with a decent mouthfeel. No real wheat-like quailities however, brewed fo rthe masses. Good one to start the sampler off.
