Golden coored. Hazy. Nowhere near a hefeweizen but rather a nice American ale made from wheat malt IMO.

Flowery aroma, creamy head with a good cloudy appearance. Even had pellet sized residue at the bottom of the glass. Good full bodied sweet flavor. Strong finish - goes down smooth.
2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
A slightly burnt/parched wheat aroma -- grainy, without the musk associated with European weissen. It appears that every effort was made to make this middle of the road -- it does have sediment, and it’s unfiltered, but there are no pronounced esters or yeasts. Medium peachy gold, with a malleable white foam. Bready, parched grain flavor. A pretty solid palate. Clean drinking and a good compliment to the pork chops that I drank it with, but it’s nothing special. It really could have stood a little bit more acidity (lemon.) Clean, mild West Coast hops. Dinging it in appearance for an ugly label and a screw-off cap.
2.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Slightly hazy yellow with an apricot hue; bright white, quickly fading head. Slim on the aromatic spices. Hint of fruitiness. Some bitterness in the finish. Pretty crisp and light-tasting, though not bad. Definitely has the "American Wheat" slant.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bit yeasty/astringent aroma, nice wheat beer aromas. Cloudy (unfiltered) butterscotch amber - tiny head. Smooth, light carb with medium body. Many different flavor elements but not all meshed - hit you one at a time. Wheaty (though more like an American wheat, not German). Astringent finish and after, though pleasant.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Pours a hazy golden yellow color. Aromas of bread/lemon/and some fruit. Had a taste of yeasty bread with some spice.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
A rather blase’ wheat. Slightly unbalanced/undeveloped, but still refreshing and very drinkable.
