Thanks to Darkover for the trade. Pours a hazy unfiltered-looking yellow color with a thin white head. Thin lacing. Aroma of citrus, banana and wheat. Crisp and rather light with a nice citrusy flavor, and it stays very effervescent on the tongue throughout. The finish is dry and a little fruity. This beer is not overly "wheaty", and that may be why I enjoyed it more than I usually enjoy beers of this style. I found this easy to drink.

Slightly hazy golden colour with a large-bubbled white head. Aroma of metal, wheat, a bit of citrus and a very tiny amount of cloves. Medium-bodied; Very carbonated mouthful, then coating the mouth with sweetness and spiceyness. Aftertaste shows some strong sweetness and then leaving the palate pretty dry. Overall, a bit better than I had expected with the low rankings...all-in-all not a bad American Wheat. I bought this twelve ounce bottle at Beers of the World in Rochester, New York.

Draught. Has a very cloudy beige yellow. Some bubble gum esters, little bit of citrus. Beer begins very plasticy with tons of bubble gum flavor. I am not tasting much wheat. Has a watery citrus mix towards the finish that is not very pleasant. The lemon they put in it did not help things. Hardly, if any, hops detectable. Beer seems artificially flavored. Problems with carbonation.
