A clean refreshing American Wheat that drinks similar to a Kolsch. Lightly hopped with German & American varieties. Excellent drinkability with a clean crisp finish.

A - Cloudy orange brew with a nice three finger head. No yeast at the bottom of the bottle or in the glass. Still pretty cloudy though. Looks tasty.
S - Carrot cake, orange zest, and a whiff of spice. Very much citrus oriented.
T - Wheaty and citrusy. Lacking in yeasty/bready flavors. Sort of one-dimensional and more reminiscent of something like Shock Top. Disapointing since we got off to such a great start.
M - Very brightly carbonated with lots of citrus tang. Finishes pretty clean with a touch of lingering orange-rind bitterness.
Very drinkable, especially in hot weather. This is lacking in complexity and robustness, but for a summery brew it's pretty dang good. I like the size of the bottle too... wheat beers are meant to come in big servings! I think my wife will love this one.

To be honest, I grabbed this bottle at the liquor store because it was cheap. The saying. "You get what you pay for," applies here. The beer poured a pale yellow color with a slight head. It gave almost no aroma, which is a bad sign. My fears were realized when I discovered there was no noticeable taste. The only real flavor was a very mild straw flavor. At best this is a straw flavored ale. Wheat beers are supposed to be sweet and flavorful. This hardly qualifies as a wheat by beer ingredients only. Carbonation was light, so it fit with the watery, plain taste.

Light, pale yellow sunshine head after pour. Very thin film of foam after a few sips that doesn't last trhoughout. There is a slight haze to this straw colored brew.
Pretty simple and plain, soft banana and clove with a little Pilsner malt. Very light overall.
Adjuncty upfront and a little on the finish. The middle has some faint toasted Pilsner malt flavors of crackers, and maybe some Earthy hop notes. Simple, easy.
The palate is wet, and a little bubbly. Simple and drinkable, but not worth recommending to friends.
