A - Small pure white head on an opaque light body.
S - Slight heineken smell. Is this skunked or supposed to smell like this? It came in a brown bottle and was continually refrigerated. Light-struck?
T - Tastes like any ole lager. Cannot see and whitbeer like qualities. Maybe the brewers are shooting for a crossover product? Considering how hoengaarden is taking Japan by storm, I would have figured they would do something more intense wheat.
M - Medium mushy body.
The only ingredients are wheat, barley and hops.

Very cloudy unfiltered looks, soft white gold color. Tiny bubble head of thick cream. Lots of suspended yeast junk.
I expected more of a nose than the mild one I got of light hops and sweet malts. Not very intense.
Taste is very thin and watery, and reminded me of diluted OJ -- but sort of in a good way. Mellow and lightly salty. Excellent soft after of flavorful grain. Not really a weizen with the addition of the cascade hops (which they advertise on the bottle!). And I can't recall if wheat was even used in the making.
Super soft unaggressive carbonation. Very drinkable -- a great threshold beer, even with the cascades.
