cheapdark (1651), Monacatootha, Pennsylvania, USA Apr 26, 2008 Updated: Jul 5, 2008 Pale yellow with a tingle of orange. Has a slight haze to it. Appearance is pretty much like a good wheat.On the tongue there is more hop or malt bitterness than I care for initially. As the session continues, the bitterness seems to fade or perhaps I’m just getting used to it. Does have very nice carbonation, creamy and sparkly. Near the bottom of the bottle I get the dizzying swirl from the sediment that dots the head. Green lemon rind or green grapefruit rind finish that hangs for a while.
bity (7), Pueblo, Colorado, USA does not count Nov 29, 2008 Despite the lower rating on this beer, I quiet enjoy this one. Nothing spectactular, but a reliable drinker. Perhaps the other Sirra Nevada offerings have influenced me, but I will certianly buy this agian. tarheels86 (167), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA Nov 28, 2008 Pours a light, slightly hazy yellow with a whimpy white head. Pretty good lacing though. Aroma is nothing much- some straw, faint hops, and grass. Taste is a little hoppier than I was expecting but lacks the traditional hefeweisen notes. No yeast or bananas or spice. Fairly high carbonation. Bitter, lemony aftertaste. Incredibly light on the palate. Could be the lightest wheat beer I have tasted- but its not necessarily bad. This is certainly the least impressionable of the Sierra Nevada offerings. craftycarl21 (244), South Hero, Vermont, USA Nov 26, 2008 Pours a slightly hazy yellow with minimal head. Aroma is light with grain and a bit of malt sweetness. Flavor is also light, but with some yeast and definite wheat notes. Palate is light. Mediocre brew for the style. oteyj (378), Canterbury, New Hampshire, USA Nov 26, 2008 Pours yellowish amber small white head. Aroma is slightly grainy with a bit of citrus. Flavor is light and a bit astringent. Some sweet malt but overall lacking. Palate is thin and a bit watery. Overall lacking in flavor.
jimmack34 (158), Ohio, USA Nov 21, 2008 Bottle. Pours hazy gold with a dense white head. Smells wheaty with hints of seasoning. Tastes prominantly like wheat grains, earthy, hints of clove maybe, but plain. Semi sweet aftertaste with very little citrus. Pretty good beer and drinkable. Might try garnishing with an orange next time to spruce it up.
