Bottle pours yellow small white head. Med carb. Smells tastes of grass floral wheat sweet. Has slight bitterness to it not much. Pretty thin I though. Not bad pretty smooth could put away a six pack prob as fast as you open bottles. Very light. Water like.

This is a dry wheat flavor. Just a hint of fruitiness. Very sticky on the roof of the mouth.

maxwelldeux (2220) - Raleigh, North Carolina, USA - OCT 21, 2012
Bottle. Pours a hazy golden color with almost no head. Smells a little skunky, like a lot of lagers do. There’s a little bit of bitterness that’s almost metallic, though it comes from a glass bottle. Meh.

Pawola22 (3096) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - OCT 14, 2012
12oz bottle from Binny’s Lakeview. Pours a clear, yellow-pale gold colored body with a thin, fizzy, off-white head that dissipates quickly and leaves a light lacing. Aroma is grainy wheat, lemony citruses, and a light grass. Flavor is similar. Thin, grainy wheats with a light grass and a light lemony citrus. Finishes clean and dry with a grainy, very light bitterness before leaving a medium length aftertaste. Light body and a moderate carbonation. Overall, a light wheat beer with a fairly crisp, slightly zesty citrus and grainy, grassy backing. Nothing special, but not bad.

eelbasher (105) - New Jersey, USA - OCT 11, 2012
Bottle. Pours pale light gold with a small ring of soapy lace. Aromas of wheat twang, floral/light citrus hops, and a bit of cat piss. Flavor is light and this is super drinkable. Light earthy hops, wheat, and flowers make up the flavor. A strange mix of flavors and aromas here, but the drinkability is insane. Ehhh decent but nothing to write home about....

60minuteman (431) - Frazer, Pennsylvania, USA - OCT 3, 2012
Gold pour. Not too much lacing or head. Lots of citrus and a pale hop/malt balance. The lemon is in your face. I dig. A bit starchy though

KajII (705) - Macon, North Carolina, USA - SEP 17, 2012
Bottle. The pour was a cloudy medium yellow with a slight orange hue and a small (less than 1 finger) white foamy head that was mostly diminishing with fair streaky lacing. The aroma was of sweet grain and hay malts, a doughy yeast and notes of citrus (lemon) wheat and a bit of spice (coriander). The taste was a light sweet, mildly acidic and a tiny bit malty from the onset, then became a tad yeasty with a light citrus peel bitterness and a hint of spiciness at the end. The flavor was kind of short in duration and had a slight wheat citrus taste that was left behind. Mouthfeel was light in body with a mildly dry texture and a nice soft carbonation. Overall a nice light, refreshing and tasty Wheat Ale, with a drinkability that would fit right in with your mid summers BBQ’s...
