On tap at brewery:
It is listed as a wheat session IPA - for which IPA is a better of those choices, but a slightly hoppy APA might be the style here.
Sitting under a light, this thing looks a bit ugly. Get it out from the spotlight, it's a slightly tan-leaning cloudy yellow color. Still not the best looking, but the head is nice, foamy, and lasting.
Nose is wheat and grain with a tiny bit of floral to grassy notes. Light hint of banana exists as well.
Flavor starts with a biscuit-cracker (thinking triscuit) grain note. Little rough feel for me brings home that impression. The hops are deceptively bittering, as a little burp showed. The notes I get are very light fruit and a more floral bitterness through the middle. In the end, a grassy to woody bitterness dries my tongue slightly.
A little more full tasting than a normal session IPA, but in line with a wheat ale. A little more balance, maybe more of an APA overall in how it came across to me.

On draft. Called a "session wheat IPA" by the brewery
Hazy golden color, white head, decent head retention. Earthy hops dominate the aroma. Taste has a touch of wheat, fairly hoppy. Thin body.

This is identified as "retired - no longer brewed", but I just had this the other day.
Meh. I've had better.
This is described as "an unfiltered, amber wheat beer...light body with wheat, yeast & caramel flavors". It's definitely unfiltered. It pours a cloudy orangy-yellowish color with a sort of off-color head. Pour it into a glass, and it's a beautiful sight. It doesn't have much of a smell though; barely noticeable. And the taste isn't that spectacular. With so many options available I can't see myself getting this ever again.

Reviewed from a recent trip to the Sterling Sweetwater. The body was a hazy yellow as you would expect from a wheat beer with a slight layer of white foam covering it. Aroma was a bit yeasty with bananas and a bit of caramel malt. The flavor starts of a bit doughy with a touch of lemon to it before a bit of caramel sweetness is had. A fairly clean crisp taste that ends with a bit of a sweet wheaty after taste. Mouthfeel was medium to light with pretty good drinkability.
