Lucky Bucket (Heartland) Wheat is a light, refreshing and most importantly tasty ale! Brewed with the same high quality water, yeast, hops, and barley as our other beers, this beer also includes a special fifth ingredient, golden wheat from the American Heartland. Adding wheat creates a soft-bodied beer that pairs perfectly with the citrus variety hops that we add during the brewing process. The result is a tasty beer with a fresh finish. Enjoy!

Reviewed from notes.
Driving through Nebraska this past summer, stopped in Lincoln and was able to pick this up.
The appearance is mostly clear somewhat hazy, but still steady streams of carbonation are seen rising and feeding a one finger white foamy head that dies within a minute, some nice decent slightly foamy lacing graces the sides of the glass.
The smell has wheat up front, slightly sweet maltiness, light corn
The taste is mainly sweet through the wheat and corn, slightly bready, definite bready aftertaste, dry finish.
On the palate, she sits about a light to medium, comes across fairly sessionable. Carbonation was on par for the style and good for me.
Overall, this may not get the best reviews here, but I came from the wasteland of this style, if anyone thinks this is bad, try finding this style done well from New England and then you’ll find this isn’t as bad you think, I’d have this again.
