Draft at Downer’s Grove. Served with no slice in a generous wheat glass. Clean light summertime wheat beer smell. Half-inch, lacy head above a slightly hazy golden body. Firmly on the American side of the style: no banana or spicy esters; just a good light, bready malt, accented by a basic hop bitterness. Midway through the glas, I start to get just a touch of citrus from the hops, like noble Germans accented by some C&C. A little gassy, but when it is, I get a taste of freshly milled wheat and malt, plus more hops. A fine complement to the currently hot weather.
