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.

Aroma: Faint yeast mustiness, not much going on here. Appearance: Pale gold, hazy with visibly suspended sediment. No head, only some white bubbles. Flavor: Lemon, wheat, and dust. No off flavors, but somewhat boring. Palate: Clean, crisp, and drinkable.

Nothing impressive. All my friends recommended it so I tried it and I don’t think that is is worth the hype.

Not much here at all. I could drink it so it wasn’t a total bomb. Light hazy color. Fairly bland taste.

This was a very disappointing outing from Goose Island. Had on tap. Yellow color with little head. Pretty watery with little flavor.

Bottled. Hazy and pale golden in colour with a small white head. Wheaty with notes of banana, citrus, spices and has a thin mouthfeel.
