Commercial Description:
What it's like: White Water is brewed using traditional German techniques, but without the traditional weizen yeast. The result is a light, clean taste that makes for an easy-drinking beer. The White Water name was not chosen to honor the famous Arkansas real estate but instead to commemorate a white water rafting trip. Who it's for: This is a good choice for people who are looking for a beer which has more flavor than a mass-produced beer but are not ready to regularly drink a beer with more flavor and body. The alcohol content by volume is 3.5 percent.

Pours a golden color with a thin white head. The aroma is yeast, banana, and cloves. Flavor is, well, pretty bland. It’s drinkable, but I wouldn’t make this a staple of my regular beers from Shenandoah.

on tap-pours a thin white head and gold/amber color. Aroma is sweet grain. Taste is sweet wheat, yeast-banana/clove, light spice, faint hops. Nice, smooth. Good effervescence.

Draft at the brewery; all three beers we had poured looked exactly the same. Muddy light brown and slightly opaque, quite still. The oddest amongst them for the visual is this "wheat". This is vaguely yeasty, definitely musty, and very flat. Overall, my one-word rating would be summed up by "blah." (#2762, 3/24/2007)

Bottle... Cloudy golden ale with a huge, frothy, off-white head. Excellent retention. Yeasty, sweet aromas of bread, tangerine and banana. Mostly sweet flavor with gentle bitterness. Soap and grain. Medium-bodied and watery with feather-soft carbonation. Flat, grainy finish.

I have to disagree with Greg (Blank) on this one. I found this the most drinkable beer of the evening. I think this batch had a bit more whallop than the 3.5% that it was advertising. Yes, it may have beena bit thin, but the wheat and malt were pretty blanced. Nicely sweet and pleasant. I was using it as the session beer of the evening. (Tap 11/15/2006 @ Brewery)
