I got this beer from my beer club and as such was not sure what to expect here. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a very cloudy (lots of floaters) orange-gold color with a medium sized white head. The aroma is crisp and wheaty with a spicy hop element. The flavor is sweet and richly malty with light fruity hops and an almost orange flavored element underlying. The finish is sweet and malty. A rather nice beer.

Small white head fair retention, small amount of spotty lace. Seriously hazy, classic wheat color. Yeasty nose, light fruitiness. Body is light, light creaminess. Yeasty flavor, wheat malt hidden underneath, doughy. Finish is dry. Thanks Degarth!

Pours a hazy orange with a billowy white, creamy head. Aroma is extremely mild, a little citrus and cereal. Flavor is actually interesting, considering the style. It starts typical and fairly malty, but then theres some tasty hop pepper, mild spices, citrus, and a dry finish. As american wheats go, this one is on point. Better than expected.

Thanks Degarth. Poured a cloudy amber-orange, small head. Low on the lacing. Nose was hops and yeast. Taste was fruit, citrus, and a strong lemon after taste. Good summer brew.

Bottled Beer of the Month. Nothing too exciting going one here. Tasted what it should be. Hint of the German style taste.

12oz bottle. Orange gold color. Small white foamy head. Aroma is mild, citrusy and grassy. A light to medium bodied American Wheat. Malts are fruity and grassy. Touch of banana and clove with grows more prevalent at the finish. Light and refreshing. Crisp and clean. Nice wheat beer. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet with a touch of banana.

Definately taste the banana and citrus. This is a great wheat beer. Kudos to the Pony Express folks for using homegrown wheat that their farmers/owners grow.

Thanks to DMeyers69. Mild wheat aroma. Light banana and citrus, a bit beany and just a little apricot. Cloudy butterscotch amber with thin off-white head. Medium watery body with medium carbonation. Starts with good wheat character, light banana sweetness and some citrus. Much more character than other American wheats I’ve had. Good bitternes to the finish and light chalky bitter citrus after. Decent wheat, especially for American wheat.
