Bottle from Albertsons. Hazy golden, small ring of head. Light grainy aroma, right where it needs to be. Taste too is bready, crackers, biscuits. Solid wheat ale.

Refrigerated 12 oz. brown bottle, best by May 25, 2018, poured into a weizen glass. Slightly hazy with white head. Aroma is soft wheat, medium/light body, medium carbonation, and some small-bubble lacing. Taste is esters, soft wheat, and smooth hop backbone.

Tap at the American Taproom, Singapore. Poured a crystal clear straw colour with a thin broken white head. The aroma is yeast, grainy malt, very light citrus notes. The flavour is dry yeasty with a light watery grainy, light crispy citrus palate. Medium to light bodied with average carbonation. The fruit is so light it’s almost impossible to detect sadly.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, best before 5/25/2018. Pours fairly hazy pale golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky white head with awesome retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Nice dense soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of lemon, orange, grapefruit, peach, pear, melon, red apple, wheat, and white bread dough; with light notes of green pepper, pine, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/fruity hops, pale/wheat malts, and light fruity/spicy yeast notes; with good strength. Taste of lemon, orange, grapefruit, peach, pear, melon, red apple, wheat, and white bread dough; with light notes of green pepper, pine, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Very mild herbal, floral, grassy bitterness; and yeast spice on the finish. Lingering notes of lemon, orange, grapefruit, peach, pear, melon, red apple, wheat, white bread dough, light pepper/pine, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity hops, pale/wheat malts, and light fruity/spicy yeast flavors; with a nice malt/bitter/spiciness balance; and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Fairly crisp/clean finishing. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitter/spiciness. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy, and lightly sticky mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5%. Overall this is a delicious American pale wheat ale. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity hops, pale/wheat malts, and light fruity/spicy yeast flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink. Very flavorful and never watery for the ABV. Great balance of citrus/fruity hops and pale/wheat malts; with underlying fruity/spicy American wheat yeast character. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example.

Poured from bottle a hazy straw, lively head of foam.

Smells on the sweet side, light hop, some wheat.

Taste is wheat, light bitterness, hints of lemon. Good Wheat beer.
