kramer (1888), sunbury, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 16, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a clear straw gold body with a moderate fizzy white head that faded to a sparse film fairly quickly. The nose is pretty light and delicate, some hay and grassy notes with a subtle accent of natural smelling honey. Very light in the flavor as well, the honey is pretty prominent giving it a somewhat floral character. Light wheat with no yeast character. Finishes rather short with a slight hop tinge. Mouthfeel is light bodied and thin, as expected, with moderate fizzy carbonation. This wasn’t the most flavorful beer, but given how poor so many American Wheats are, this is actually pretty decent comparably. checkmatei1 (275), Willow Grove, USA Jul 25, 2008 Bottle: Poured a golden dark yellow. Faint wheat, reminded me of a Pilsner. The flavor sucked. It was like drinking dirty dish water. I took a sip, looked at my wife and said yuck. My first drain pour. blipp (818), Grand Island, New York, USA May 23, 2008 Bottle. Pours gold with a big off white head. Light wheat and honey aroma. Medium body. Flavor is lightly sweet with flowers, honey and wheat. Not bad i guess. Cartoon_khaki (1120), Brantford, Ontario, Canada Apr 11, 2008 Clean gold body with little head. Aroma is sweet and malty with a touch of honey. Flavour has a strong honey taste and bit of graininess. Medium palate. McGarnigle (182), Rochester, New York, USA Apr 10, 2008 Bottle. Slightly hazy gold body. Kind of a lager-ish aroma with some honey. It is in fact very fizzy, though that’s less a problem for this style than is it for WV’s Oatmeal Stout, IMO. The taste is light, honey with a few hops. Crisp. For hot weather if at all.
