Deep amber, with a thick white head that fades. It is hard to believe that this is a wheat beer. Very little of that wheat tang - a positive in my book.

hazy copper pour with a small white head.sweet taste and aroma, fun to try but i won’t pick it up again.

On tap Pyramid Seattle location Poues out a cloudy light copper/amber topped with a small head. Aroma of light citrus and sweetness. Tast was pretty thin a little malt and some sweetness. Pretty ho hum.

Draft from the brewery. The color was far from amber; closer to a gold in fact. Decent aroma of malt. Slight cherry flavor. A bit watery. Overall, distinctly average.

I couldn’t tell what color it poured exactly, then I red the label. So I guess it’s amber. With a pretty unimpressive head that dissipates with no evidence left behind. So what if its not a masterfully crafted beer, it is tastey. Definitely malty, sweet, with a hint of brown sugar. It comes across as a very drinkable and thin version of a fairly malty red ale.

Bottle. Pours an amber body with a white head. Grainy and dry with a hint of citrus and honey but more wheaty. Thin with some caramel malt. eh.
