I am pretty sure this was an infected bottle. +++ Sampled from a 22 oz brown bottle this beer poured cloudy yellow-golden color with a huge creamy-soapy yellow-white head that lingered and left decent lacing. The aroma was egg white, sulfur, vinegar, a bit of clove and bubblegum. The flavor was tart and sour vinegar, Sweettart candies, a hing of bread dough and bubblegum. Long tart, sour and vinegary finish. Medium body. Not good.

Great hazy golden coloured body with a very thin white head - albeit fairly still looking. Not super hazy, but some suspension noticeable. Aroma of yeast, wheat, lemons, honey, flowers and a faint twinge of corn. Medium-bodied; Chewy yeastie and wheatie mouthful with a good potent lemony kick. Aftertaste shows a lot of wheat, some corn and a very mild sweetness. Overall, a pretty good wheat - definitely worth trying if you can find it! I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased at Whole Foods in Arlington (Clarendon), Virginia on 18-August-2008, sampled on 05-September-2008.

At Capital Ale House, Innsbrook. Apparently I got the last of what was in the tap, so I’m not sure if this accurately depicts the beverage I drank or not. Overall it was a decent American wheat beer. Clove, and lemon was mellow, and unfortunately the slice of lemon they served with it overpowered the brew itself. It was a mostly clear amber color, with just a little haziness to it. I’ll probably have to try it again when it is in better supply.

Shockoe festival Richmond VA-Draft: Lemon cream and unroasted malt aroma. Cloudy amber color, thin yellow head. Taste is an odd blend of lime, cilantro, and clove. Bears little resemblance to European weizens.

Very cloudy orange body with a medium frothy off-white head. Sweet banana and spice aroma. Dry banana flavor, light spice and a touch of grain.
