12oz bottle. Unfiltered yellowed-tan. Thin white head. Mild canned peach aroma. A little towards the end of it’s lifespan, this beer only has two days to go before the best before date. Mellow medium body, a pretty insipid beer. Delicate fruity tones, stale wheat starting to turn pungent. Drinkable, but pretty unimpressive.

12oz bottle. Another one pulled out of Blake’s cellar. Nice hoppy aroma with hints of citrus and slight banana. Flavor is more geared towards the wheaty fruity aspect but it’s still pretty good.

Bottle - not much head, light straw color, sweet wheat flavor, pretty refreshing, would be good over the summer

Pours golden color with white head. Aromas of wheat and some bread. Tastes like a standard wheat beer. Medium body with moderate carbonation.

From a mix 12 bottle sampler. Yellow pour. Smells like the mash - grain and honey. Taste is sharp grainy also - with caramel malts and wheat. Not my fav.

On tap at Taco Mac. Too much flavor of mediocre hops. No depth of flavor, too light. No real wheat or yeasty notes to make this a legitimate wheat ale.

Golden colour. Light phenols, wheat and graininess on the nose. Soft, spicy with subtle esters. A good, surprisingly complex example of a style brewers normally don’t take seriously.
