COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Napa Smith Wheat beer has a light and clean taste that is characteristic of this type of style. We have added special ingredients to accentuate the aromas beyond the hops and malt to insure a spicy, floral aroma with a light crisp finish. Serve this with a grilled piece of fresh fish or pork chops.

Fatehunter (793) - Corbett, Oregon, USA - NOV 24, 2012
Thin head on a clear, medium straw colored body. Smells of fruit: apple and pear mostly and a little honey. Taste starts with a little sweet note, then dry bitterness... the middle and end are watery and bland. Starts out okay and then runs out of flavor halfway through. Crisp texture, low carbonation and medium body. The taste was a real disappointment, the rest of it was average.

Patrickctenchi (1835) - columbus, Indiana, USA - JUN 17, 2013
Pours deep, clear, brassy/gold with a huge, off-white head. Aroma is tart citrus, wheat. Clingy, stale, citrus taste....wheaty, sour grain malt. Not that good.

NordicV (792) - Malmö, Sweden, SWEDEN - MAY 28, 2013
Ser ut som en klassisk lager. Bara en lätt antydan av jäst och kryddighet i doften och ännu mindre i smaken. Ingen bra veteöl.

chinchill (659) - South Carolina, USA - APR 12, 2013
12 oz bottler served in a lager glass. A: pours clear golden with a well-proportioned, dense, off-white head. A high level of visible carbonation. Some nice lacing. Small amount of sediment in the bottle, of which a bit was included with the pour. S: a mostly unappealing floral aroma with musty, yeasty and grassy notes. Hints of cardamon and ginger. Taste is way better and fresher, as well as more delicate and less spicy than expected. Wheat is evident but subtle, Hints of cinnamon, cardamon and ginger. Light on hops for style. (yes, I know this style is supposed to be light on hops.) M: Medium-light bodied; medium-high but soft carbonation. O: a delicate, lightly spicy wheat beer. :

not a lot of wheatiness about this, in fact it’s rather plain. something i can’t quite name in there that’s a little interesting, a little unpleasant. not a good one.

I didn’t really like this. Had it with a pizza a couple weeks ago. Not a good wheat beer.

Sorry to say this beer left a lot to be desired. No real aroma and barely any taste to it. Boo! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Cybercat (2518) - Georgia, USA - NOV 14, 2012
Pours a clear, rather wan solar yellow with a thick, if not too persistent, white head. Wheaty aroma is none too strong and has a hint of yeast. Flavor has a malty core and wheaty and yeasty notes, plus a hint of fruit. Smooth texture has typical body and fizz, leaving a tingle that is persistent if not strong. Though not the best wheat I’ve had, give it a try if this is your favorite style.

Bottle. Lemon and wheat malt aroma. Clear golden yellow with large white head. Sweet-tart lemon and wheat malt flavor. Nice body. Tasty.
