Unlike traditional German wheat beers produced by other breweries, Abita Wheat is a lager, not an ale, contains a generous amount of wheat and, therefore, has a clean, simple flavor.

I have not had much from this brewery but since I am a wheat fan I had to try it. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a straw yellow color with a medium sized white head. There was a sour macro scent. The flavor had only a light degree of maltiness and a hint of grain. It was vaguely sour and had a thin feel with a macro finish. Truly an unremarkable beer.

VERY light in color, with a large head. Smells grainy and slightly sweet- but not much wheat. Slightly sweet flavor, with not too much else going on. Not much of a wheat beer... and not much carbonation either- this beer is near flat.

Pale blonde & clear. Appley, slightly wheaty aroma. Slightly crisp palate. Refreshing but rather bland - there just isn't a lot going on here.

Barely light golden in colour, with a thin white head which fades fast. Smells like metal with a slight lemony taste. The taste is almost absolutely nothing. A bit of hops with a touch of malt. The description from the brewery is spot on...a clean, simple flavour. There is nothing to this. So clean, I can't taste a thing. I guess I don't like American Wheats, this one was a big waste. Just as bad, but maybe even worse than Anchor Summer. Not even worth trying, because there are no complexities to discriminate. I bought the 12 ounce bottle at Beers of the World in Rochester, New York.

Pours dark gold with a thin bone white head. Very little lacing. Aroma is appropriately wheaty. Light-bodied and somewhat crisp, and the wheat flavor is not very pronounced which made it more palatable for me since I do not like Wheats, but doesn't suit what the brewer should be aiming for. This is definitely leaning toward a Lager to me. Finish is light and crisp, and overall this beer is very simple.
