Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a medium golden color with a medium sized yellow-white head. The aroma was tangy and faintly fruity. The flavor was tangy and a bit sour with a hint of tartness and a faint fruity undertone. Not much of a "wheat" element to this one. Medium body. Disappointing.

Looks like any other ubiquitous pale yellow american beer. Just a little hazy. Smells fairly good, without any negative connotations. Decent carbonation on the palate. First taste is sort of alky on the impact. Fairly bitter initial taste bud sensations. Has an interesting orange peel hint in the background. Short biting bitter finish. Not quite what I was expecting in a wheat beer.

Bottle: Light golden with a massive white head. Lots of clumsy lacing. Aroma is dry, wheaty, and grassey. Flavor is wheat and very light grassey hops. Clean, unassertive, and unoffensive.

Something of a floral, noble hop aroma. Amber tinged gold color with a respectable white head. Thin to medium bodied. Moderate carbonation. Dusty wheat for start, along with a very slight bit of lemon. Finish is sort of wheat, tartness and enough bitter to work it out. Overall it’s a very light and clean beer.

Transparent golden color without the cloudiness wheats usually have, combined with a glass lacing medium, white head. Aroma is a light wheaty citrus. It doen’t taste like a typical wheat, it having with a lot of hop flavor, combined with a tiny bit of sourness.
