Almond with blonde highlights when backlit and a creamy eggshell head. Hazy with no real yeast sediment visable..strange for an unfiltered wheat beer. Hazelnut aroma with notes of wheat & caramel malt. Mild caramel malt and a bit of the banana/clove flavor with a bitter grainy finish. On the leaner side of medium, this beer could use a little more malt. Meh..this beer is forgettable.

Looks like a yellow beer with 1/2" head and minimal particulate (wheat) floating around. Aroma was grainy.
Taste was a bland affair, easy enough to drink but far from enjoyable. Its just there. Everything Saranac makes is always a toned down affair, and that's fine and all. Wheat beers have always suffered from a bland descriptor, and this one is bland for even an alleged bland style.
