Sampled at home from a growler.

Appearance: This is the murkiest beer that I have ever seen. It is the epitome of unfiltered brew. It poured a rusty orange color with a huge, off-white head that was chunky and fluffy. It lingered for a long, long time (there was still a measureable cap left at the bottom of the glass) and left a lot of lace on the glass.

Smell: Right after the pour, the smell was mainly strong grain. After the beer sat for a few minutes, a zesty lemon aroma started to break through and dominate the aroma.

Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied and fairly smooth. The finish was dry, almost chaulky.

Taste: This beer is very grainy and unrefined. It's almost like walking out into a wheat field (and Lord knows we have enough of 'em around here) and chomping on a few plants. This natural grain taste dominates the flavor, combined with a good dose of lemon. Some hops bitterness kicks in well into the finish, more so than most other wheats.

This is the most unfiltered "unfiltered wheat" that I have ever had. It takes the style to the extreme, making it pretty rough around the edges. It's enjoyable, but a little much for me.
