Lemondrop yellow. Bright white foam settles quickly.
Flavor and feel are as light and summery as the color, without being watery. Bubbles are light and plentiful.

On draught at Old Chicago.
Pours a hazy orange yellow with a small head of foam, good lacing.
Smell is of wheat, fruity in an odd way..agave.
Really light lifeless aromas
Taste is strong wheat, earthy agave, hint of tartness, otherwise lacking in flavour to my palate.
Drinkable but not more than 1 glass wanted.

Agave Wheat | Breckenridge Brewery. Poured from the can into a pint glass, this brew's got a three finger thick head, with spotty lacing, and a hazed medium golden amber body.
I smell, you've guessed it, agave mixed in with the traditional wheat ale elements.
The taste is actually a nice blend of the ingredients of this brew. The agave is nice and subtle, which lets the ale itself shine.
Medium-light mouthfeel with fair carbonation.
I'll go ahead and rate Agave Wheat | Breckenridge Brewery with a 4.25

look: 4.25 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 4
Hazy orange gold, unfiltered beer. Nice head at first, gone within 30 seconds. Spotty lacing on the sides. Yeasty, wheat smell (not too strong) with, and just a tiny note of, faint and pale type of fruit. Hard to pick up. Taste is so light it's also difficult to analyze. It is a light wheat, American yeast, grassy tasting ale. Really mellow, this is a beer you don't even think about or concentrate on. Sessionable would be an understatement. Doesn't even feel heavy in calories. Really not a bad beer. I don't think it deserves some of the horrible feedback; of course there are companies doing tastier, fuller, more complex, and more enjoyable beers. Maybe it's just the money people are upset about haha. The description of creative doesn't exactly fit either. This is a very simple beer. Buy it for your guests who don't have a developed pallet. I'm sure they'll thank you later.

Right off the bat, the pour is hella carbonated, with strange, quickly receding foam that reminds me of cheap beer. The taste is very crisp and refreshing, you have to try really hard to taste the slightly sweet and fruity taste of agave. It's quite drinkable, but lacking any expected uniqueness.

From the older can, it pours a hazy light amber with a modest head, reducing to a ring with islands. Some citrus (or agave) in the nose. In the mouth, it is lightly sweet, with grainy notes, and refreshing.

This was poured into a nonic pint glass. The appearance was a decent looking hazy orange to gold color with a one finger white foamy head that died within less than thirty seconds. The lacing was slightly stringy. The smell was sweet citrus (little bit of lemon and orange) with a little bit of refreshing sweet grassy fruit (agave, I’m guessing). The taste was sweet and somewhat grassy. There’s a slight wheatiness to it. On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a decent sessionable quality about it. There’s a slight refreshing long sweet texture accommodating this feel. Overall, first time I had this I didn’t like it, but this time, yeah, hit the spot.
