This is their summer seasonal pale wheat ale. I had it today.
The color was a lemon yellow with a little gold coloring at the top; it was hazy and had a nice white head that stayed around for awhile, and left lacing until the very end.
The smell was of pleasant wheat, complimented by malts and a nice citrus hop presence.
The taste began with a strong wheat taste, and through the middle there was some malty sweetness like in the aroma, and then it finished with a very pleasant citrus taste.
The mouthfeel was more so thick and not so carbonated. But the carbonation that was there was very nicely balanced.
Overall, the beer was very, very smooth. Hardly any hop bite, but yet I could taste them, but mostly it was a citrus finish (either lemon or orange, but i would say lemon). This is a very refreshing beer.

On tap at the Disney World Board Walk location.
Poured a medium and cloudy golden color. Aromas and tastes of wheat, cloves, citrus and bananas. Props to the bar tender to ask if I wanted a slice of lemon or not. It was in the upper 80s and this went down nicely...

A - Arrived in a 22 ounce hefe glass. It was cloudy yellow with a large white head that disspated quickly to a small cap of bubbled on top of the beer
S - Nice banana and clove aroma, no hops detected
T & M - Silky mouthfeel, with sweet malt at the beginning. Replaced by banana flavor in the finish. Excellent match for the day.
D - Very drinkable beer. I could easily do three or four as I watched the people pass by.

Wowzers Wheat, a summer seasonal. The beer appears cloudy, pale gold. A small white head, alittle lace.
The aroma was wheaty, yeast-like clove.
The taste was citric off the bat, wheat, spice of pepper, clove, banana and lemon zest. A tastey citric beer indeed.
The mouthfeel was left tart and yeasty. Drinkability, pretty good.
If complex or layered flavors is a passion, thisone leaves the taste buds looking in the most direction of the brewery line-up.

As far as wheat beers go, this was below average. I am taking into account the fact that this is my least favorite style. The beer was a cloudy straw color and had a smell like molded hay. The taste was wheaty and it had a soapy aftertaste. Not a beer I would revisit from a style I try to avoid.
**Edit: This beer was the '06 version but still the same beer so no need to add another beer.

Hazy but see through off-golden color. Thin but nice smooth velvet-like head. The smell was a fresh wheaty/bready/grainy smell, with cirtus zest, very typical of standard summer wheat beers. Full bodied taste of fresh wheat and grain, a bit spicy but not clove spicy like a hefe. Definitely a tangy zest in the background, not really featured thought. This is a good refreshing summer beer, that could go down a little too easy on Big River's patio in the summer, but it's not going to impress anyone too much.

Draught @ Brewpub (Disney): This one pours a cloudy, weak straw yellow color. There wasnt much head on it. The aroma has a whiff of clove and banana. There was much less evidence of them in the taste. Somewhat wheaty taste, but a thinner body and a bit weak. My wife likes it.

Pours a hazy golden yellow with a nice, well formed, white head.
Smell is clove, banana, wheat (obviously) and just a little bit of a faint malt character.
Taste is pretty much the same as the smell, but there is a bit of tartness to this one as well. Not much in the way of hops.
Personally, I'm not a fan of American Wheat Ales, but this one isn't terrible. I would much rather drink something else though.
