Can thanks to Drake. Another for RBG... she deserves more than one! Hazy pale gold, lively carbonation, small white head. Wheat, light yeast, light lemon zest - all clean, fresh smells. Flavor is wheat, lemon zest, bread. Simple, not a ton of flavor, but very drinkable.

Clear gold with some lasting retention. Aroma is malted wheat and a hint of citrus with nothing more.
Simple and straight forward. Wheat, grain and hey with mild citrus hints. Body is on the lighter side with a nice crispness that does give the beer some easy going drinkability. Is it a bit plain overall? Yes... It is but it has no problems and found that when it was all said and done the 12 oz can was gone really quickly. If this is available in your area it would make a wonderful lawn mower brew. 12 oz. can courtesy by shrubber85.

Refrigerated 12 oz. aluminum can poured into a weizen glass. Pours clear gold with medium white head. Aroma is malty, medium/light body, low carbonation, and some big bubble lacing. Taste is simple malt. Not a hoppy American wheat, just a simple malty beer.

Pour is a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma is a nice wheat malt with maybe some lemon. Flavor is again dry wheat malt with a decent little hop kick to it toward the end. This is not just another boring wheat ale.

Bottle. Light lemon and wheat malt aroma. Slightly hazy golden yellow with large head. Light sweet-sour lemon and wheat malt flavor. Very lightly bitter herbal finish. Okay but not much to it.

Bottle. From notes. Wheat and yeast with a good dose of lemon tart and sweetness. Good, but not great.

12 ounce bottle from Steve’s Mineral Point Madison, WI. Pours a hazy straw yellow with a medium white head. Decent head retention and lacing. Aroma of wheat, caramel, apple-like fruits and a faint nuttiness. The taste is soft wheat notes, citrus, honey, apples, caramel, faintly bitter finish. Medium bodied. Nice beer.

Yeasty, slightly bready, light banana, lemon, slightly floral, wheat malty flavor. Yeasty, slightly floral aftertaste. Solid wheat ale.

I enjoyed this as one of 25 attendees at a Will Johnson Living Room concert in Chicago, IL; given to me by two very nice people in attendance. I couldn’t really gauge the aroma or appearance of this brew, but it was very much similar to Goose Island’s 312 but maybe a bit more of a yeast presence. For the moment in which I enjoyed it, it was great.
