On tap @ brewery. Hazy pale gold. Aroma notes of wheaty lemon rind, soft all around, and some cereal grain. Taste was bright and wheaty lemon, with more cereal grain on the finish like a blonde.

on tap 7/20/10. hazy yellow (less brown than the hefe) with a small white head. faint aroma... dusty wheat, lemon and orange with a spicy kick. mix in a little wet woodiness and the flavor is the same... only more pronounced. medium bodied with a crisp mouth feel from high carbonation. 5/3/6/3/12/2.9

Draft at the brewpub. Pours a cloudy yellow with a small head. The aroma is a citrus earthy malt. The flavor is similarly dominated by earthy grains and some citrus. Light fruit. Not too bad.

Draught at brewery. Pours hazy yellow with a spare, fizzy, white head, diminishing with spare lacing. Aroma is average malt (hay, straw), light hops (citrus), average yeast (dough) with notes of banana. Light bodied, thin texture, soft carbonation, and a bitter finish. Short duration, light sweetness, acidity, and bitterness.

on tap-pours a white head and cloudy straw color. Aroma is wheat. Taste is wheat, grain, musty, a bit thin. OK carbonation.

[Colorado Road Trip – 2006] A light flavorful brew. Nice color with a good wheat undertones. This was an easy to drink brew. Had a good aftertaste.

Yellow color; kind of hazy. Soft and light texture. Light, husky malts. Herbal bitterness. Some fruity notes. Not bad, but not too exciting, either. That said, it was pretty easy to drink.

Light yellow. The nose is an odd mixture of cantaloupe melon, lemons, soapy pine and sap esters. Flavor resembles a little more mandarin oranges and bananas, which is nice. Light and watery with a sour orange peel finish. An odd wheat beer for sure.

beautiful cloudy appearance, very light beer, easy drinking...would have rated higher with a little more body
