This unfiltered American Wheat Ale is light in color, body and bitterness, with the delicious finish of wheat malt.

Bottle. Large, foamy head covers an effervescent golden haze. Aromas are fairly blah... straw/grass, yeast, maybe a touch of lemon and banana. Flavor is about the same. The body is light and thin... doesn’t feel like it should. The flavor is fairly dull as well, but comes off as a crisp and refreshing beer, but boring.

Bottle pours a rather pathetic looking hazy pale, pale white-yellow. Yes I said "white". Small quick white film of a head and a few spots of lacing. Aroma is very faint wheat and a bit of the hefe notes from across the pond. For an Amer Wheat at least. Flavor is dry and tart. Basic flat wheat flavor with a bit of astringency that doesn’t help matters much. Nearly crosses the line of being objectionable. Ill finish this sample at least. Thanks to BuckeyeBoy for sharing.

Hazy blonde colour with a thin white head. Aroma of small amounts of curacao, wheat, corainder seed and a small sweetness. Light-bodied; Some pale malt tastes-not good at all. Aftertaste shows pale malt and isn’t pleasant in the slightest. Overaell, not a beer worth spending the money on, try their ESB if available, but not this one! I sampled this 12 ounce bottle at the November RB party at Founders in Alexandria, Virginia on 20-November-2004.

Thanks to Hopscotch for bringing this back from Missouri! Light lemon yellow color with a tall white head. Not much hefe haze, somewhat clear. Sour yeast aroma is not quite right. Very little flavor or body, this is disappointing. Far from a good Hefeweizen. Go find a Weihenstephan instead.

2004 bottle @ the DCMDVA gathering courtesy of Hopscotch. Pours a solid golden color, small white head. Aroma of lemon, light yeast and mineral/wheaty notes. Flavor is light lemon, notes of metal, light yeast. Very watery, with little wheat substance. Fizzy, plain, rather boring and just way too thin. Carbonation attacks the palate and interupts the palate. American wheats do not have to be like this.

Pours a light hazy yellow. No aroma. Flavor is flat,boring and lifeless. There is nothing even to compare it to. I don’t know where they were going with this. This is probably the worst of this style I have had.

Weak. I expected more, even from a brewery that tends to focus on session-style ales and lagers. Pours cloudy yellow (light), with a whitish head. Grassy, fruity aroma. Flavor was too light for my liking: a touch of wheat here and there, a touch of fruitiness, and a touch of hops. Just like the Oktoberfest, finishes with a cheerio toastiness. Not among the better examples of the style.
