2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
UPDATED: MAR 14, 2006 A particularly uninspired wheat...virtually no hefe characteristics...no banana, no clove, precious little wheat. I missed out on the offensive particulates, thank god! I would suggest that Frankenkitty rinse out his glasses in between pints every once in a great while! That was just plain offensive!

Formerly Kansas City Unfiltered Wheat. I am posting my old review as this is the beer, but someone decided to post a new listing. Now called Original Wheat beer with a new label and company. I also had this before under the old company. This is a slightly cloudy gold color with a large white head. Aroma is lemons and some grass. A hint of banana under those scents. The taste is a slightly skunky dirt and leaves. Hints of honey. Not bad for an American Wheat.

UPDATED: AUG 21, 2007 Originally reviewed back on 4/23/04. Received 3.55 score. Added to my RB list to check "Kansas" as a beer state consumed. Marc came through with this one, allowing me to sample some Kansas brews. Golden yellow with a lively white head. Hints of banana and clove make this otherwise boring American wheat a little more interesting.

crystal clear yellow golden with almost no head. the head is almost non-existent. the aroma is lightly wheaty but overall very neutral. the flavor is also pretty plain. some citrus and a tiny bit of banana but not much. not offensive just very plain and boring. quaffable for sure though.

Pours a three finger, white head that fades to a ring leaving no lace. Almost cloudy light amber color. Light carbonation and light bodied. Light citrus nose. Starts as weak lemony/hoppy flavor no wheat or yeast, clean finish. $1.39 for a 12oz bottle from John’s Grocery Iowa City, IA.

Aroma is like a piece of chewed bubblegum laying out on the sidewalk that has been stepped on a few times. Kind of dirty tasting, with some moldy fruit notes and toasted wheat cereal maltiness.

A cloudy dark yellow appearance. A lemon and bubblegum aroma. The flavor is very crisp with a doughy presence. Some cloves, lemons, limes, and wheat bread in the flavor. I dont like American Wheats but this is a good example of the style. This would be great for a hot day picnic or such. Not bad at all. Sampled from a Playboy chalice.
2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
12 oz. bottle. Golden color. The aroma has a bit of corn in it so that wasn’t too pleasant. The flavor was fairly clean though but didn’t really have that nice wheat taste (either from the malt or yeast--i.e. clove, banana). It was a bit bland overall. Maybe it didn’t travel well with the beer of the month club.
