draft. cloudy. Not bad, especially for a good American Wheat beer. Tastes like a good German Hefeweizen beverage.

Bottle. Copper color with a nice off-white head. Spicey, caramel aroma. Grainy, sweet flavor that leaves a sacharine flavor in your mouth

draft - Pours reddish brown with a thin head. There’s a light, malty aroma with a hint of hops. The flavor is malt dominated with a lightly bitter finish. The body is a little too thin, but not too bad. Overall it’s a decent session beer, certainly better than the pale yellow macro lagers, but nothing worth seeking out.

Can. LIght sweet barley malt aroma. Medium amber color with small head. Fairly strong barley malt flavor with a hint of sweetness. Very nice body for a light beer. An excellent light beer - blows BMC lights away.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Clear, dark brown with an orange glow and a creamy, beige head. Medium-bodied with some caramel sweetness and lightly burned accents. There really ain’t much wheat in this - reminds me mostly of a Dunkel. 170406

Bottle - sweet corn/barley malt aroma. Golden yellow with small head and mild effervescense. Lightly sweet malt flavor - very much like a German Koelsch. One of the better American Koelschs I’ve tried.

Nice color of dark amber with a decent off white head. Taste is of caramel, malts, and light hops. Decent to drink, but not one to go looking for.

Finally a decent beer from this brewer! Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a cloudy bright golden color with a large white head. The aroma is moderately strong with banana and bubblegum with a hint of citrus. The flavor is sweet and wheaty with a strong bubblegum, banana and a hint of citrus.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a bright golden color with a medium sized white head. The aroma is macroish sour malts. The flavor is sweetish and yeasty with a vague hint of fruit. The macro tang tends to overpower the other flavors.
