3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
355 mL bottle from Beers of Europe into a Karmeliet glass. Golden, cleady and a touch gassy with a nice but short lived head. Very nice hopped aroma, a touch of citrus. Sweet, bit of lemon, smooth. Light on the wheat. Its nice, certainly drinkable. Dry aftertaste.

A good summer beer to go with grilled food...has some interesting pilsner qualities...fruity aromas and flavours...nice smooth palate. A pleasant hoppy finish that isn’t overpowering, but balances the beer nicely.

Bottle. Pours a golden color with a very slight head. Very slightly hoppy in the nose with just hints of a floral smell. Taste has a little bit of hops and a much stronger bit of what. Quite a nice brew...
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Mild citrusy lemon aroma, some earth, and nice fresh wheat whiff. Average head and lacing for the style. Yellow-gold appearance. Taste - nice citrusy lemon kick with clean finish. Respectable hops that don’t dominate too much for the style. Good bready malt backbone that lingers well after the conclusion; some of the lemon carries on as well. Neither overbodied nor underbodied. Hot darn, a wheat ale I finally like! This style tends to underwhelm me - most are just okay with a few bad lemons in there - but this is actually quite good. Thank you, Southern Tier.

12oz bottle. Pours a light amber color with a small white head that lasts throughout. Aroma is sweet and strong with a heavy fruit presence and mild hop background. Strong hop taste is perfectly balanced with hints of grapefruit and citrus. Mouthfeel is incredibly smooth with medium carbonation.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottled at home. Clear golden colour. Flat white head having no persistence, with a medium carbonation. Refreshing and easy to drink. Bitter and hoppy, even if not so much, but well balanced. Dry final. Great job.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle at home (BOE) - 29/09/12.
Clear light golden with a very thin white head that soon dissipates to the edge of the glass.
Floral hops and a perfumed aroma with a little wheat and a touch of spice in the background.
Taste wise a little on the bland side, not unpleasant, just not a lot going! Wheat, a little citrus, light hop tones, hints of summer fruit.
Medium bodied with the carbonation level pitched well.
A refreshing wheat beer if a little on the boring side.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at the beer temple. Dark golden pour. Quickly collapsing head. Aroma of grass. Thin and not very hoppy flavor. Metallic bitter aftertaste.

I got this as part of a mix & match 6pk at Madison East.
Pours a clear, pale yellow color with a bubbly white head. Scent is very sweet with wheat and citrus tones with some hints of hops. Has a smooth mellow taste with a hint of bitterness that turns into a dry, organic wheat after taste. Starts off refreshing, but then goes into this bad pale ale type taste. Interesting, but not something I look for in a wheat beer personally.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
33cl bottle from Bottle Shop Canterbury. Clear gold colour with thick white head. Soapy wheaty aroma with some hop. Ok in mouth, I mean very light as you would expect. This is a thirst quencher rather than a sit down open fire sipper. As such it’s absolutely fine. Not too soapy and as a golden ale it’s fine. Rather good finish to be honest. Better than average.
