COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Like the digits suggest, it’s a beer that’s densely populated with flavor and loaded with character. We don’t filter it, so none of its life and soul is stripped away. The first thing you notice is the hazy, cloudy appearance. That’s how you know it’s unfiltered. What hits you next is the spicy aroma of Cascade hops, followed by the crispy, fruity ale flavor delivered in a smooth, creamy body, the result of blending barley malt with torrified wheat. It’s not like any other Goose Island Beer, but no less that you’d expect.

Citrus fruit on the nose. Hazy, pale orange hue with a lasting, white head. Dry and somewhat bitter. Light body, average carbonation, with a citrusy, hoppy finish.

Hanoi (72) - - FEB 7, 2013
Wheaty citrus nose. Hazy appearance with good head. Taste is hopeless, slight honey, but very bland. Nice Mouthfeel. Very little to recommend this beer, with many better wheats to choose.

Light with a little cloudyness. Pours with little head has strong wheat flavor with subtle citrus note. Decent but nothing really stands out in it.

A nice wheat ale from Goose Island. Decent flavor and color. For the price of a common beer, it is a good quality.

ianwelby (202) - SCOTLAND - FEB 2, 2013
A cloiudy, straw coloured beer with a thick foamy head. A sweet, dry malt scent. Flavour is a little bland but pleasant. A bit malty, a bit hoppy. Easily drinkable but not remarkable.

joeneugs (2139) - Livermore, California, USA - FEB 2, 2013
On tap at Tap 25. It pours clear yellow color with a white head. The aroma is lemon, orange peel and wheat. The flavor is lemon, orange and wheat…pretty straight forward, but exactly what I want a session wheat ale to taste like, minus a powerful hop display. This would be very refreshing on a hot summer day.

More citrusy bud light. Very little aroma and taste, almost like a re-incarnation of bud light wheat.
