Not much aroma, small amount of wheat. The appearance is a toss up: It’s either a beautiful cloudy pale gold, or it’s my urine in the morning. take your pick. I was expecting cloudier though. The flavor is subdued, small amount of hops, mild malt backing. Crisp mouthfeel while not being thin or wimpy. Finishes sort of lemony. It’s not a knockout but I can see myself buying 6 packs of this stuff when it’s 110 degrees out in June and enjoying the refreshing wheaty beerness. nothing like a hefeweizen though, and that’s what i was kind of expecting it to be like.

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.

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.

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.

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.
