Another out in the heat at Town Hill. Clear, crispy, premium lager pour at the source. Buttery, grassy, white baguette nose. Steel hops, acidic but a little veggie-like, sour-ish olive oil. Okay when cold. 2.7 A couple days later I had it in a quick flight downtown & mostly enjoyed it: Clear, honey gold, lacy pour at the downtown tap room. Plain Cheerios nose. Soft baked bread, floral, light enriched sweetness, slight texture, soft bit consistent carbonation, Cheerio finish. Kinda good. 3.4

On tap at the brewery in Bar Harbor. Pours clear light golden with a small white head, some lacing. Dough, grains, honey. Nice

Can: Poured a golden color ale with a medium size foamy head with OK retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of cereal notes with light wheat notes. Taste is a mix of light wheat malt notes with some cereal and light residual sugar notes.Body is about average with good carbonation. OK wheat ale but probably not seeking this one again.

12 oz bottle bought in Bar Harbor, Maine. Cloudy dark gold pour with a white head and very good retention. Good lacing. Soft mouthfeel. Light wheat ale with a slight citrus sweetness. Light body. Unremarkable but good.

Reviewed from notes.
The appearance had a golden brown colored body with a one finger small white head that died within five seconds, no lacing was seen. Carbonation was seen slowly rising in columns.
The smell had some grains at the center with floral grassy notes slightly in the background.
The taste was balanced between the floral grassy notes and the grains. Some corn comes out, but nothing offensive. It also slightly sweetens a bit as the beer warms.
On the palate, it sat about a light with some carbonation making itself known, yet it wasn’t overbearing. It was pretty drinkable, but the ABV is unknown, so not sure what to say other than sessionable by mouthfeel.
Overall, this is not a bad summer beer. I think I would have this again depending upon the circumstances.

thot I had this, but no! from a bottle a little more gold than expected. smell is typical mild sterile wheat ale perfume. was expecting more bitterness than I get here, almost as refined as a wit bier. very good co2 makes it almost bubbly fruit. more astringent bitterness sets in during the session. yes, now we are approaching the wheat ale style I know. IMHO a little better than the typical wheat ale.

Crisp light amber coloured copper body with a single centimetre tall slightly off-white head. Aroma of wheat, corn, light sugars and a touch of malt - not much going on here. Light-bodied; Sharp metallic and almost medicinal flavour with a lot of funk, a horribly bitter rice flavour and a slight bit of lemons. Aftertaste is nothing but bitter - funky, bad and stale malt with metal bitter, nothing pleasant at all. Overall, a pretty poor offering - not only does it not have much flavour, but the flavour it does have is horribly bad and bitter - nothing pleasant in this one at all. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 28-May-2012 for US$7.60/6pack sampled at home in Washington on 10-July-2012.

12 oz bottle from LiteWait. Yellow honey color, small white head that hung around for awhile. Light wheat nose, a smooth light wheat taste. It would be a very nice, refreshing beer on a summer day or something to remind you of summer on a cold winters day. (although, it’s a warm winter night right now) This beer gave me a bit more hope for this brewer. The Blueberry sucks.

On draught at the brewery, 8/14/2005. Golden-amber-yellow with a white head that recedes to ring. Rather filtered and very clear. Smells of wheat, hay-like hoppiness, some floral notes. Orange-tea with honey. Flavor is warm biscuits and honey, fairly gritty/chewy wheatiness. Bready/doughy as well with a fairly strong yeastiness on the end. Dry, slight astringency in the middle with only a touch of caramel. Moderate carbonation, large bubbles. Light, farmy hops add a touch of bitterness on the end. Cornbread and milkiness from the malted wheat. Medium-light body.
