On tap at Bomber, pours a cloudy copper golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out bready malt and gentle hops. Flavour is along the same line, with bready malt, toasted caramel, and earthy hops. Bready and toasted caramel. Solid.

Light amber, with a slight haze, and a medium head. Light, wheaty, with just a light stone fruit hoppiness. OK, the thing is this. It's been damn near 20 years since Gumballhead established the benchmark for the entire hoppy Am wheat category. To come in nowhere near that in 2019 seems kind of odd to me - this is a beer that lacks a sense of purpose. Too light for beer geeks, too hoppy for casuals (especially at a brewery with several lighter beers on tap).

Draught at the brewery
Hazy blond colour. Very light aroma of citrus hops. Dry and crisp mouthfeel, light wheat flavour, mild citrus hops. Low bitterness.
As described. Light weight but clean and with decent hop character.

On tap at the brewery. Okay golden body and modest foam. Very soft wheat notes with hops punching forward. Flavour is mellow hops followed by wheat dough notes. Medium finish, reasonably full on the mouth. Okay.
