Likeburning (149) - Franklin, Tennessee, USA - JAN 14, 2006
Poured a clear golden with no head. Smelled and tasted a bit more of barley than expected, but still ok. A bit of a soapy taste for my on tap glass so points were deducted.

ATOmemphis (200) - Franklin, Tennessee, USA - JAN 14, 2006
Pours Golden, but leans to the yellow hues of golden - quite clear as well. White thick head, dissipating at average rate. Smells malty, only a little hops in the aroma. Very clean taste. Not too shabby! Somewhat sweet, wheat/breadsy taste. Nothing out of the ordinary special, but certainly no big negatives. Just above average in my opinion. And mine does lace, if only lightly.

OldGrowth (1782) - North Carolina, USA - JAN 9, 2006
Bottle, from Julio’s. Bottled 09/26/05. So-so nose, sweet. Lite wheat and fruitiness, lite citrus. Orange gold color, small head that faded quickly, no lacing. Sweet flavor, like aroma. Orange and wheat.Mabe a hint of sourdough. medium body, lite creamy mouthfeel, lite bittersweet finish. What to say, easy to drink lawnmower. Maybe I’m being too tough on it...

JohnnyOS (646) - Golden, Wisconsin, USA - DEC 27, 2005
Pours a clear amber color with a white head that quickly fades. Mild aroma is of hops and wheat with a wheat taste that finishes with a faint watery carbonation.

RAYBOY01 (2003) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - DEC 25, 2005
Spritzy carbonation and crisp dry mouthfeel. Flavors of sweet malt, citrus (lemon/orange) with a slighly peppery finish. Very timid on all counts. It’s "slightly" roasted with "subtle" hops and a "touch" of wheat. Commercial description says it all, without saying a thing!

Homebrewerguy (298) - Oil City, Pennsylvania, USA - DEC 23, 2005
Nice clear ale with a quickly diminishing head. Not much to brag about here. A sweetish ale with subdued hop presence which brings out the malt and wheat flavor. Good mild flavor with some alcohol kick. Actually a good chick beer.

oldrtybastrd (3228) - Doha, Qatar/Great Falls, Montana, USA - DEC 11, 2005
Pours a light golden yellow. Aromas of grains/corn?/some hops. Flavor is crisp and dry. Has some hop bitterness.

clear straw in color with a very fast fading head. aroma and flavor definitely has some wheat characteristics with some lemony notes. not a lot of taste here.
