3.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Huge fruity nose, almost like a Dijon clone Chard. A litte too carbinated for me, nice yeasty flavor with good fruity/banana tone. Drinks like a sparkling wine.
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Cloudy and light-hued. A notable lack of sustained head is a disappointment. Rather enjoyable aroma of bananas and cream, lightly floral. Undistinguished malt, with an odd, lemony sourness. Lacking in complexity, but actually better than I expected it would be.
2.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Had a few bottles of this while watching the OSU PSU game. Nose of banana, toasted
cereal, perfume, and bubblegum. Pours a light sparkling golden honey. Fluffy average
white head that dissipates quickly into a thin strip that is mostly lasting and has no lacing.
Balanced grainy flavor that starts mildly sour with a fruity bitter/sour finish. Thin and dry
with heavy carbonation and a dry feel to the finish.
2.2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Lat me preface this by saying I hate wheat beers. However of the few I have tried, this was one of the better ones, if it’s any consolation.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Hazy straw gold hue. Head dissipates immediately. Citrus, malt nose. Slightly sweet first, light bodied, nice carbonation, then it gets sort of rancid, bananas and sourness. Nothing special, there are much better wheat beers out there.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Color is great. Pours a somewhat milky gold, with a thick white froth. The taste, while nothing wrong, lacks any special character to set it apart from the hundreds of other wheat beers out there. drinkable and thirst quenching, but I don’t see myself in a frenzied rush to get some more.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Very pale beige, opaque; very wheaty palate, lots of grapefruit, low phenols for the style; light body, sour, grapefruity finish. Different, and may not be to everyone’s taste, but I enjoyed its simple, citric, thirst-quenching properties.
2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Cloudy light orange color. Tropical fruit- pineapple, in the nose. Spritzy, some citrus, fruity and dry.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
orange, hazy, yeasty, and somewhat malty, it tastes like a typical American Wheat, wheats like these are really not to my liking.
3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
