Bottle poured a cloudy amber with a lasting amber head. Aromas of wheat, carmel and light citrus. Palate was light to medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of wheat, carmel, light orange and a hint of earthiness with a smooth bready finish.

Poured a pale amber, with a surprisingly big, creamy head. Cloudy in appearance: more like upper atmospheric clouds than fog. Very little to speak of taste wise. Bready, malt taste. Hops don’t really deliver, as the name seems to promise.

Light amber color with a slight haze and medium white head. The aroma has a decent, juicy ripe fruitiness with a light hint of spicy, grassy hops. (This beer has the best hop presence of anything I’ve had from Anheuser-Busch; nothing spectacular, but a step in the right direction.) It’s not too shabby on flavor- toasty, with caramel malt that forms a nice balance with the light sprucey hop bitterness. Actually quite well-rounded. The body is light to medium and not nearly as thin as AB’s other wheat beers. A reasonable brew with good drinkability.

Another boring wheat beer. Pours hazy gold so orange-ish with a semi-thin head. Aroma is all wheat and some junk grains(yeah and unfiltered beer with corn/rice...) Flavor bland some malts and a bitter hop. Metallic finish like most of these Michelob beers.

Clear golden color. Aroma is mainly malts and wheat. Taste is a little sweet. Flavors are malts, wheat, and slight caramel. Has a sweeter malt aftertaste. I must admit that this is a little better than I expected.

Hazy light orange color with a decent puffy head. Thick as a lava lamp. Really looks good. Smell is a mix of wheat and corn. Not bad but gets more and more average by the second. The tiniest hint of amber malt, but mostly metallic adjuncts in the nose. The taste has a slightly bitter first bite. Actually a decent hop. Malt is clearly not all-malt. Because of this unearned bitterness its’ just barely above average. Slightly sweet. Feels a little thick and milky. Has a small bite. Really not bad. It’s better than most Anheuser products, but still just an average beer. However it is a decent change of pace brew.

An ok wheat beer, definitely better options out there. An oragneish color pour with a decent head. A little bit of a wheat smell. Disappointed in the lack of flavor and has a bitter hop finish.

12 oz, Hop Hound version at lithy’s March to 1000. Orange amber with a nice lasting head. Aroma is faint, but inoffensive, caramel and wheat. Flavor is pretty much the same. Light body is drinkable and slightly dry. Actually better than expected.
