2.2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20Pours hazy straw with little white head retention. Mild aroma of some bread and hay. Bland and boring.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
12 oz bottle into a pint glass.
A: Pours a hazy golden color. A rocky two-finger white head is formed; it doesn’t have the best retention by any means.
S: Bland. Touches of lemon esters augment some faint noble hopping...and that’s about it.
T: It starts with a bit of lemon, and ends with wheat malt flavors. This is really damn bland, though hardly a bad brew.
M: A bit too chalky on the palate - as such, it’s not as drinkable as it could be.
O: Did I mention bland? Yeah. It’s completely inoffensive though, so this wouldn’t be a bad choice if the only other offerings were BMC (wait a minute...)
1.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 3/20
The appearance and presence of yeast on the bottom is what sold it to me. I poured it into a German beer glass and first noticed a citrus aroma. That was the best of it...from then on it was a hoppy bitterness that I associate with many "rough around the edges" craft beers, followed by a disappointing thin taste and a lingering bitter finish. To me, this brew was not ready for market.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Light sweet aroma. White head. Yellow color. Sweet orange flavor, not terribly strong.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pretty good wheat ale. It’s like Goose Island’s take on cheap beer... I can dig it.
2.7 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 15/20
Light sweet aroma with a modest white head on a urine colored body. Fairly strong sweet flavor with a light finish.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
12oz bottle. Pours a clear yellow color with a one finger fluffy white. Slight citrus aroma, as well as some wheat. Pretty light on taste, but clean. Wheat, bready malts, some orange peel, and lemongrass.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Not a bad wheat beer but not a great one either. Not worth the price.
1.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 4/20
Just plain awful. Exponentially cloying. Disappointing offering from Goose Island.

From bottle. Aroma of yeast, grass, citrus. Crisp, light, slightly but pleasantly bitter. Light hop flavor. Taste hints of citrus. Lively carbonation but not overly so. Went really well with salad. Glad I tried this. We definitely reach for this on a summer’s day.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pours hazy yellow with a thin fizzy head. Wheat aroma but fades on the tongue. Not bad but certainly skippable.
