Labeled as a clear wheat, but is unfiltered. Good beer, but nothing stands out. A fairly average wheat.

16oz glass at the north Edmonton location - described on the menu as a 'clear wheat beer'.

This beer appears a clear, medium golden yellow colour, with one finger of wispy, loosely foamy, and faintly bubbly off-white head, which leaves some ocean plume lace around the glass as things gently subside.

It smells of semi-sweet, grainy wheat malt, a bit of Concord grape and apple mush, soft earthy yeast, and a touch of leafy, weedy hops. The taste is sweet, kind of sugary wheat, wet dough, floral honey, acrid drupe fruit, and flinty, grassy hops.

The bubbles are quite active, in a tightly fizzy manner, the body medium-light in weight, and too stringent to be deemed all that smooth. It finishes off-dry, the apple and grainy wheat predominating.

A variant on Grasshopper, I would put forth, and just as plain, nothing really here to compare it favourably to the better wheat ales out there, filtered or not. Actually, I think I'd rather have Big Rock's straight deal, given the choice.
