2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
A brownish, slightly cloudy look to it. Actually a little darker than most other wheat beers I’ve tried. The aroma is somewhat sweet and fruity, pretty nice. Moderate amount of head, doesn’t stick around though and fails give a whole lot of lace. Wasn’t quite as refreshing as I thought it would be. Flavor is a sweet malty taste with a flowery, fruity note mixed in as well. Pretty smooth, but not as smooth as I was hoping for. All around I’d have to call this an average beer - I liked their Old Man Ale a little bit better.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Orange cloudy color with a nice malty aroma. The flavor can be best described as malty blending into the hoppy.
2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottle - Pours a darkish amber with a thin white head that starts foamy and fades quickly. Aroma is faint of the banana that defines the style, but is not too strong.... none of the clove flavor that should be here. Flavor is weak of wheat nutiness. Not a good effort and not one that I will repeat; after the other 2 bottle are gone, of course.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Deep golden. Frothy whitish head. Grainy nose. Not much in terms of flavor or body, but reasonable and does have a nice clean toastiness. A strange bitterness emerges, overhopped?!
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Deep golden in color with a small white head.Aroma of butter and fruit.Thin and unfufilling.

I have to agree with the other raters here. This fell far short of par for american wheat ales. For one thing, perhaps this is just my opionion, hoppy wheat beer is just plain wrong, and wheat beer should never be this clear. This just tastes odd.

Well....there is nothing WRONG with this beer....but there isn’t really anything RIGHT with it either.
1.5 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 5/20
UPDATED: DEC 30, 2003 This reminded me more of an American Standard more than any wheat I've had. Orange (slightly cloudy) Hardly any aroma, besides sweet malts, no real body, virtually no wheat character. Any other beer Nutfield makes is better than this. Perfect for giving an ice cold one to a Budcoorsmiller person on a hot day. Suckers...

Too bitter for style.
hp rate was more along the lines of a bitter.
