2.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
12 oz bottle into shaker. Aroma is caramel malt; kind of cloyingly sweet. Pours cloudy orange with spotty lacing and a medium head that disappears fairly quick. I taste cinnamon, faint banana. Sweet with hardly any bitterness. Thin body, medium carbonation. Fairly boring wheat ale.

Slightly hoppy wheat beer, definitly a session... but nothing real special.

From the bottle. Amber-golden color. Citrus aroma with hint of sweetness. Smooth and light, tasted slightly fruity with honey and wheat. Very little hop character though, they should probably change the name back to Sun Dog. Decent but not as advertised.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Cloudy amber color with slight fruitiness on the nose. Where are teh hops???? With a name like hop hound I expected some bold hoppiness. Not a bad beer but not what i was expecting either.

Cloudy amber orange, frothy beige head. Orange and wheat aroma. Plain taste with some citrus and bread.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
(bottle) cloudy amber, faint wheat aroma. Flavor is light wheat beer with caramel, hints of citrus hops.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
UPDATED: FEB 7, 2010 Refrigerated bottle poured into a weizen glass. Pours slightly hazy copper with small off-white head. Taste is bready roasted malt and light hops, and a hint of caramel. Nice lacing, but a little light on the carbonation. Pretty good overall, but nothing great.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
First rate of 2010. 12oz bottle. Pours a clear glowing orange copper with a larger foamy off-white frothy head. Aroma of caramel and toasted wheat, ample but subdued hop fruitiness accompanied by lots of sweetness making it smell like fruit snacks. Flavor of caramel, some richness accented by the alcohol, touch of hops, quite fruity, simple, actually better now that is has some age on it, go figure. Medium/light bodied, not sticky, slightly viscous, softer sizzling carbonation, a bit corse. Eh... I think I gave it a slightly better rating just because I’m very thirsty from all the New Years partying.

Bottle. Peach/banana and dough aroma. Light amber color with small head. Over-ripe banana and caramel malt flavor. Decent beer for AB.
2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
bottle. pretty generic amber wheat beer - what you come to expect from Anheuser-Busch. very average beer - drinkable, but nothing to wow the senses
