An American wheat ale brewed with white wheat and dry hopped with hand-selected hops from the Yakima Valley. Bright and refreshing with a lemony finish.

(10/12/08) Draught during Riot Fest in Chicago. Clear deep golden with a medium white head. Aroma of citrus hops and some fruits. Sweetish flavor with some wheaty fruitiness, lots of hops, grapefruit, notes of pomelo and a bit of malt. Medium-bodied. Good stuff.

Courtesy of Quake1028. Pours hazy straw with initially big white head that dissipated in under a minute. Wow, the aroma is a load of citrus hops and pineapple mixed with mild wheat, lemon and orange peel. The taste is fresh and lively with lemon tartness, sweet malts, wheat some grapefruit hops and hints of orange juice. There’s also an under current of sugary sweetness. Good refreshing summer brew. Perfect for this warm winter night in FL.

Bottle from EithCubes - Thanks! Pours a rich golden color with a light haze. Smaller white head. Nose is full of hops. Wow, not what I’d expected. Taste is also hoppy with a good crispness. Some hints of citrus and yeast.

Cloudy orange..light beige head...aroma is malty mixed with hops...you can smell the creaminess and bananas...and well the palate is creamy as well...mild malts and hops balanced well and blanketed in a silky and creamy presentation...a bit of stick , left to the lips...lip smackin’ good...lingering flavor, bubbles in the mouth, almost like cotton mouth...most wheat beers don’t have this wonderful hop presence...nice job on individuality... 3 floyds , now get back in Jerzze!!

Draft at The Map Room, Chicago. Pour is slightly hazy and much darker yellow than most American Wheats I have had. Nice white head. Aroma is a touch of wheat, but mostly pine hops. Taste has the hops jumping out at you initially, with big pine flavor. The middle was some nice wheat body, and the finish leads to resinous hops. Overall, an interesting brew, and very well made.

Bottle; Nose of a pale ale with lots of hops and a little citrus; Looks more like a wheat; hazy gold with a medium yellow-tinged head; flavor is hoppy with some citrus and a pale ale bitter hop finish. Now the question; Do I rate to flavor or style?

(650 ml bottle) A bit shady golden color, white head. Hoppy bitter scent, sweet, orange stuffed with cloves. A bit of yeast. Hoppy and bitter taste with some "X-mass" spices like pommerance peels and cloves. Rather high bitterness. Wouldn’t guess it for a wheat beer at all. Rather nice if you disregard the lack of "wheat style" in it though.
