Draft at NCBC. Pours a murky medium gold with a loose white head. Perfumey nose, showing mostly talcum powder, of all things, along with some cloying floral notes. Thinking maybe the yeast got a little sideways on this batch? Creamy medium body with fairly subdued carb. Floral, perfumey quality on the mid palate too. A little more pleasant to drink than to smell, but not a very coherent effort, unfortunately.

Nice carbonation; lemon in the nose, a little zest in the aftertaste. Unfortunately, tastes pretty uninteresting; dare I say, It smells better.

On tap. Pours a pale yellow with decent white head. Aroma of wheat and lemons. Flavor has tons of citrus, very lemony, to the point of being a bit sour. Pretty good, but not my favorite hef.

Nose is wheaty with light citrus and thats about it. Rather standard american wheat ale nose. Pours hazy yellow, thin head, not super long lasting or anything. The flavor starts wheaty, with light lemon notes, slightly herbal hops, clean crisp finish. Well done american wheat, probably the wrong time of year for a beer like this, but its a nice change of pace.
