COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Halcyon Unfiltered Wheat is an unapologetic American Wheat with the rich flavors of Kansas grain, a fruity aroma and a taste like the very best day of summer. Just like the Halcyon Days of yore, this seasonal brew won’t last forever, but no worries: Halcyon will return next year sure as summer.

Can. Wow, what a decent little wheat beer. Nothing special, fruity and wheaty aroma. Taste is the same, with a tartness to it that, with the other flavors, make it pretty refreshing. I love that Tallgrass puts out so many decent tastes in a can. 5% alcohol.

Lata. Thanks Pinball. Hazy yellow colour with a small white head. Pleasant wheaty fruity citrus like aroma. Ok mouthfeel. Flavor: Wheat, citrus fruity hops, sweet like.

Single can. Light and carbonated. Not a fan of the style, but this is actually pretty good for what it is. Actually, my wife took it from me and finished it. Wheat plus Tallgrass quality--nice lawn work beer.

zombywoof (431) - Shawnee, Kansas, USA - MAR 11, 2013
This is a very decent wheat ale despite coming in cans. Apricot, lemon, orange with vanilla in the background. Dry and medium carbonation. Creamy finish. Very drinkable and inexpensive. Something to toss in the cooler next time I’m out at the lake. I’d be interested to try this on tap.

Barreras (608) - Diamond Bar, California, USA - FEB 21, 2013
Pours a cloudy golden color with a slight sweet aroma. The taste is simple and refreshing with a quickly dissipating aftertaste. Not very complex with some citrus notes throughout.

jgb9348 (3964) - Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia, USA - FEB 12, 2013
Super hazy, chunky orange coloured body with a bronze glow and a soapy-ish, one centimetre tall just off-white head. Aroma of pale malt, a bit of a grassy hop note, some bubble gum and a definite citrus and lemon scent. Light-bodied; Sharp hoppy note at first with a pungent yeast flavour, some lighter wheat tastes and a good sweet bubble gum flavour. Aftertaste shows a hint of spice, a little sweetness and a good balance of wheat and hops, all staying very light and mild. Overall, a nice and refreshing, easy-to-drink beer that would be great in the summer. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Total Wine in Alexandria, Virginia on 23-May-2012 for US$1.49 sampled at home in Washington on 12-February-2013.

MaltOne (145) - Wisconsin, USA - FEB 2, 2013
Assertive hop aroma, citrus and pine. Pours hazy yellow-gold with ample effervescence. Nice frothy head with average duration. Flavor is hoppier than expected for a wheat - again the citrus and resin. Medium light body, with a nice carbonation. Overall, not especially complex, but a nice thirst quencher. Nice for summer drinking.

EtTuCthulhu (396) - Columbia, Missouri, USA - JAN 20, 2013
This beer is golden with a frothy white head, and the aroma is strongly of wheat and subtly of hay and citrus hops. The body of the beer is light and so is the taste. It is sweet and has an abrupt aftertaste with an average carbonation.

We had this beer at the 2013 Tops of the Hops in Biloxi, MS. A light beer that would be good for summer.
