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.

Bottled. Hazy yellow colour, with mediumsized white creamy head. Aroma of wheat and weird sweetness. Flavour is sweet malty and wheaty. Long sweetish aftertaste. Not too exciting brew though.

Cloudy pale yellow, small white head, some lace. Some Ameican hops mixed with wheaty notes in the aroma. Banana and fruity hops in the flavor. Kind of weakened version of stronger SN beers. More like pale ale than wheat beer.

Disappointed with this bottle, Sierra Nevada is better than this. I didn’t really get the wheat flavor, and it looked a lot more like ginger ale than beer.

Bottle from Utobeer. Hazy gold with thin white head. Hop, lemon and cereal aroma. Fresh in mouth. Citric dry finish. A bit nothingy really. Not a big USA beer nor a sharp European wheat beer. Lack of banana and bubblegum flavours. Hoppy lemon finish is the best bit of it.

Bottle: Poured a white/yellow color slightly hazy beer with a quite large foamy white head with good retention. Aroma of weak is lighter then expected with subtle hops that are also discernable. Weak taste of wheat with a slight touch of bitter hops, which don’t really fit in. Carbonation is just incredibly high which I don’t mind for the style. Overall, I guess this is just a bit boring.

Bottle. Cloudy beer with a strong head. The aroma is very, very light (almost nothing) and the flavour is slightly citric and plainly dry. Overall a very weak beer.

Bottled. U.S. Beer 25 of 31 for American Beer Month! Found this at Trader Joe’s along with their store-brand beers. Pours a little too much foam, but that subsides quickly to a nice, rocky head. Underneath is pretty pale, lightly cloudy. Smell is nice, just a little hoppy. So it the taqste. Light on malts, a bit of wheat zest, and a nice hop bitterness, more than in other wheat beers. Fizzy, leaves a little zing on the lips. Very nice drinkin.’

Bottle. Sweet peach and wheat malt aroma. Light yellow color - clear with moderate head. Sweet peach and moderately hoppy finish. A nice wheat beer on the bitter side.

Very unremarkable, like most American wheats. Minor citrus in the aroma and flavor. Yellow and just a little cloudy but no sediment. Very light, refreshing when it is very cold; and because there is very little flavor anyway, that is probably the way to drink it.
