Clear golden pour. Apple juice aroma. Has other sweet and sour elements. Very smooth taste. Some protein taste but has little other flavors.

Hazy golden with a sizzling head. Little citrus and banana aroma. Acidic carbonation, feels like drinking coke. Not too bad of taste, some orange and wheat but not working for me.

12 oz bottle with lunch at La Condesa in Austin, Texas. The pour is a hazed orange golden with an off-white head that falls quickly. The aroma is wheat grain, light citrus, and a bit of grassiness. All in all, a pretty faint nose, though clean. The taste follows the nose, clean straight forward grain wheat, hint of lemon citrus, clean quick finish. The palate is light to medium bodied, lower carbonation, clean brief finish. Worked well with food, though lacked a certain amount of depth. Regardless, clean and tasty beer.

3/20/11. 12oz bottle courtesy Cavie. Slightly hazed golden pour with a ginormous fluffy off-white head that sizzles away surprisingly fast. Musty wheat aroma with a hint of orange peel. Unappetizing metallic bitter flavor with a hint of malt and citrus. Blech.

Appearance - Light golden color. Did not pour with any head, seems I got a bad bottle, one without much carbonation. Smell - This may not be saying much, due to the fact that I have a below average sense of smell, but I could not smell anything, which is usually not the case, and I do not believe anything but the beer itself was hampering me smelling it. Taste - Much like the smell, I did not find must as far as taste goes here. I could tell it was a wheat beer, but just barely, I may have gotten a bad 6-pack, which makes me want to stay away from this brand in the future. Mouthfeel - Flat and extremely watery, it was hard to tell I was drinking beer at all. Drinkability - I would not have another. Very bland, even for a light wheat beer. Serving type: bottle

Tap at cedar creek. Clear golden. Aroma slightly floral, really weak. Taste is tap water with a little sweet. Mouthfeel is buttery water. Awful.

On tap at flying saucer. Pours a clear orange golden with a quickly diminishing small white head. The aroma is earthy floral hop and wheat. Medium mouthfeel with a light fruit malt with cereal and a nice crisp finish.

Pint glass at the brewery- somewhat transparent and slightly hazy dull yellow-orange color, hearty aroma of wheat and lemon. Hits the mouth with a high weak body, malt is weak, middle has a grass feel to it, finish is complete and has a very small banana note to it. One of my summer beers that I enjoy when the temp. outside starts feeling like my credit score.

Sweet malt, wheat, banana and bubblegum. Easy to drink. Not quite what I was expecting from a wheat ale.

Thanks to thirdeye11 for sharing this bottle. The beer pours a clear yellow color with a white head. The aroma is lots of wheat. The flavor is wheat with a little bit of sweetness. There is something a little bit off about the flavor, but I can’t figure out exactly what it is. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

Bottle from thirdeye11. Light orange pour with a small head that came and went in a flash. Aroma is lots of caramel, malts, oats, and a little lemon. Taste was weak and slightly fruity. Thin.
