On tap @ Jacks poured a cloudy yellow with a small lasting white head. Aromas of wheat, straw and a hint of lemon. Palate was light bodied and smooth. Flavors of bread, straw and light citrus with a light dry finish.

Pale yellow pour with a white head. Grainy sweetness, lemon, grass, and water. Some apple and white grape juice, sugar, and some wheat. The flavor is sour, grainy, and watery. Off-putting astringency, some white grape juice, apple, and lemon.

Draft. Golden beer with a big whitish head. Wheat and malt aroma. Wheat and light earthy flavor. Mediumb odied. refreshing. Wheat lingers with a light mineral note.

Light gold color. Lightly hopped, nice banana and clove flavor. Light taste, flavor OK. Finish is clean. Aftertaste is neutral, slightly sweet.

I had this on tap at the Jack’s in San Ramon. This was a simple, crisp lawnmower beer for summer.

Tap. Light yellow with a well laced white head. Musty wheat flavor. Crisp and clean but little flavor.

Good foam, citrus, wheat and yeast nose. Some hint of cracker in an acidic, flat body. Easy drinking.

Pours clear golden with a finger thick white head. Nose is sweet bready malt with some grain. Same in the flavor. Clean and light on the palate.

Sampled in Fremont last week. Not bad. Dont really care for the name but the girls in our group loved ordering it. Has a very nice appearance and they load it full of lemons. Not a bad beer and worth a try in Fremont.
