12 ounce bottle into pint glass, bottled on 5/11/2015. Pours hazy golden orange color with a 1 finger dense white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of lemon, orange, pear, apple, honey, wheat, cracker, herbal, grass, light clove/pepper, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of fruity/spicy yeast, earthy hops, and pale malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of lemon, orange, pear, apple, honey, wheat, cracker, herbal, grass, light clove/pepper, and yeast earthiness. Light herbal/spicy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of honey, wheat, cracker, herbal, grass, light clove/pepper, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice robustness and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, earthy hops and pale malt flavors; with a nice malt/yeast spice balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Light-moderate dryness on the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth and lightly creamy/bready mouthfeel that is good. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is a good pale wheat ale. All around good robustness and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, earthy hops, and pale malt flavor; and very smooth and easy to drink. A nicely enjoyable offering.

Super hazy, chunky orange coloured body with a thin, fast-dying white head and a few bubbles rising from the bottom. Aroma of wheat, yeast, light citrus and a bunch of sugars. Medium-bodied; Deep malt flavour with a lot of wheat and yeast tastes, some light sugars, a touch of caramel and some light spiciness. Aftertaste shows some mild yeast, a little spices and a bunch of alcohol and sugars. Overall, a good American wheat with a strong sweetness. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Merchant’s in Dearborn, Michigan on 30-July-2010 for US$1.89, sampled at home in Washington on 25-November-2010.

Hazy tangerine-colored body with cakey yeast sediments, thin off-white head. Aroma of bready yeast, nuts, cereals, and light tart notes. Cerealy, nutty body, and watered down, characteristic of all of this brewer’s bottled beers, with light wet hay and citrusy wheat notes that play second fiddle. Sourish tang in the finish with wet socks and muddled esters. Thin and simply not good.
