This beer even looks like honey in the glass such a rich yellow. I drank this stuff by the picture full the other night and I can tell you from experience that there isn’t any after taste at all.

Pours a clear golden colour with almost no head. Some honey in the aroma, but nothing too pronounced. I was quite frankly disappointed by this beer.

Pours a clear white head with a foamy white head. Sulfuric smell with some wheat and malts. Taste is a little sweet with a light body. A bit too light for me and finish is dry and it did absolutely nothing for me. Average at best

Bouteille de 500ml. Cadeau. Couleur blé dorée avec une mousse blanche. Le nez est quelque peu sulfurique et acide. Il est peu expressif. La bouche est mince, peu de blé encore moins de miel. Il me semble que ce produit est plus commercial que de micro-brasserie. Je n’aime pas du tout.

(Une dégustation offerte par Yan, merci!) Une robe légèrement dorée. Une mousse sans tenue. Un nez sulfureux. Des saveurs diluées de blé et de notes finement sucrées. Une bouche légère, une effervescence forcée et une texture plutôt mince. Un arrière-goût inexpressif.

Draft in a sampler at The Gahan House. Pours a clear pale golden color with almost no head. Light aroma shows a bit of honey along with wheat and pale malts. Flavor shows a higher dose of honey along with wheat, pale malts, minerals, and corn flakes. Light-bodied, with moderate carbonation and a dry mouthfeel. Give me more honey and more wheat and more malts. I can handle it.

On tap @ the brewery as part of a tasting tray. Clear bright gold, minimal white head. Grainy sweetness in the aroma. Flavour profile is simple sweet grains with a light lemon note in the quick finish. I wouldn’t have pegged this as a wheat, more like a lager.

500 ml bottle from the PEILC. Pours a clear, rich gold with a foamy white head. Aroma is slightly skunky malt. Taste is sweet and wheaty with a touch of citrus. Body is light to medium, which is on track for the style. Overall, good summer fare.

From tap, thin white head. aroma of wheat. sweet and thin on the palate. hints of wheat and maybe some citrus? Somewhat disappointing, but would make an excellent lawnmower beer.

500 ml bottle from the PEILC. Pours golden in colour, nice big frothy white head, leaves lots of lacing. Aroma and taste are as advertised, sweet honey and a wheat tanginess. Not bad.

500ml bottle thanks to mora2000. Clear yellow pour with some white head. Smells just like the name infers with lots of honey sweetness and a wheat bite. Flavors of honey, biscuit malt, and floral hops. Not my bag.
