Wheat Beer is a pale, unfiltered, and light-bodied beer. Strissel Spalt hops from the Alsace region of France are used to create its very refreshing and smooth character.

Big white head quickly collapses. Cloudy yellow body. Fruity wheaty yeasty aroma with rubbery notes. Sweetish fruity straw and toffeeish wheat taste with herbal notes. Full body, unfresh palate. Dry lemony wheaty aftertaste. Boring. Some weizen yeast character would freshen this up. (0.355l bottle, Centra, Majorstuen.)

12oz bottle-pours a foamy dissipating white head and yellow color. Aroma is ?, secondary wheat/husky. Then I figured out the ?. vomit. As the smell dissipates the secondary smells come though. Taste is a nice improvement from aroma, although its average to my taste. Taste is grain/light malt/wheat, faint (tettnang?) continental hops, slight lemon at finish. Semi dry, mild carbonation. 2.6 OK, had this again, a decent wheat. 3.1

12 oz bottle purchased as a single at Happy Hour in Independence, Missouri. Pour is only slightly hazed golden with a bunch of carbonation and a two inch pure white head. Some nice lacing. Aroma soft, slightly sweet wheat and some floral yeastiness. Taste is wheat, and a slightly sour hay. The sweetness of the yeast is present near the end. Decent enough Wheat. Palate is medium. Finish is perfume and lasting.

Bottle at ÅBF08. Clear golden colour. Weak fruity flavour. OK wheat mouthfeel. Low bitterness. Refreshing, but not very interesting.

Pours bright, clear gold into a shaker. No sediment whatsoever. Bright white micro head with good retention leaves slight lacing. Slight yeast and hop aroma. Crisp and clean from front to back -- very little wheat flavors, but quite refreshing. I’d like to try another to see if I can get some wheat...

12 fl oz bottle. Pours hazy yellow with a chalk white head. Light cardemomme and light citrus spiced aroma. Dry citrus fruity wheat flavour. Dry malt base and a mild spice note. Not much wheat yet a good brew. Light citrusy finish.

Pale yellow with a tingle of orange. Has a slight haze to it. Appearance is pretty much like a good wheat.On the tongue there is more hop or malt bitterness than I care for initially. As the session continues, the bitterness seems to fade or perhaps I’m just getting used to it. Does have very nice carbonation, creamy and sparkly. Near the bottom of the bottle I get the dizzying swirl from the sediment that dots the head. Green lemon rind or green grapefruit rind finish that hangs for a while.
