Draught at the Santa barbara location. Fully opaque dark yellow color with a lasting creamy head. The aroma is light with a touch of grainy wheat bread. The flavor is pretty clean with wheat graininess and light tarntess and bitterness in the finish. Medium bodied; smooth and a little creamy. Pleasant, but bland, though it has a good amount of flavor for being only 3.5%.

9/14/07 On draught at Claim Jumper, Tukwila, Wa. Aroma is low sweet wheat malt forward with a touch of fermenting yeast notes. Appearance is hazy gold with a low white head. Flavor is sweet malt forward with probably 40-50 percent wheat malt flavors and no hop character. There are some peppery yeast phenol flavors. Mouthfeel is spritzy and medium bodied. Overall, fairly good, probably most comparable to a Widmer hef with flavors in just a little bit different amount of each flavors.

Had as a sampler at the new Santa Barbara Downtown Brewing co.They took over Slo Brewing.This was served with a wedge of lemon,which I think made it too sour.Had a decent aroma.Had a cloudy appearance,which was appealing.The flavor before the lemon was a pleasant wheat flavor.Not too sour,yet had that distinct wheat taste.The palate was a nice,sticky type.I would like to try this again without the lemon.It got too sour with the lemon juice.

Tap @ the brewery. Semi-hazed and pale goldenrod in color with a creamy white wrung and a thin iceberg of a saliva spackle for the head. Lemon buttered meringue teams with caramelized wheat, lemon chiffon avec grahams and lemon shortbread for the aroma. Flavor bridges the less desirable elements, congruently distressed by shortbread and a buttery cream cheese danish. Stifling carbonation with lemon drop flavors and botched banana buttercream. This might be the world’s strongest example of gleaning clover into a metallic, stinging format.
