This was decent ! Nice golden color, no foam, low carbonation. Light body. On the sweet side with some tangy flavors. Refreshing, easy to drink. Did not have that off taste like several others from the pack.

This 12 oz can was poured into a goblet after adding some to my chili pot. It has a very durable white head adding to the appearance rating but not reflecting over carbonation. Both the aroma and the flavor are relatively light on wheat notes and instead carry some harmonious notes of caramel malts. Overall it has very mild bitterness.

Very slightly hazy amber color with a substantial foamy white head and some nice lacing.
The aroma is grapefruit zest and fresh bread.
The taste is sweet bready malt with citrus notes and some grassy herbal notes in the finish.
The body is light, carbonation is moderate, fairly smooth and very drinkable.
Altogether this is a decent wheat ale, fairly tasty and refreshing.

Poured from a 12oz can
On the pour, 2 fingers of fine off white head with pretty great retention formed. Body is hazy but not quite a hefe haze, and more translucent. Decent lacing forms.
Aroma is wheaty and sweet with a backing of light but bright American citrusy hops. A tad cloying and herbal with spicy notes, this reminds me of something but I don't remember what... As this warms more slightly tart yeasty notes come out making this a bit dirty. Gets savory as it warms not good.
Taste is again wheaty but instead of sweetness, its diacetyl. Damn. It is Minhas I guess. Some alcohol somehow comes through in the flavor. There is a biscuity sweetness, but that takes a backseat to whatever was going on with this yeast.
Feel is drinkable enough, but the flavor really gets in the way of any refreshing or relaxing feelings they mightve been going for. the finish is medium long and fortunately improves.
Overall this is disappointing verging on depressing. I hope the rest of this pack turns out better, but this was my first beer outta there! Desperately needs to be cleaned up and not rushed like I'm assuming they did.

Appearance: A dense, persistent and very large white head crowns a deep golden orange body, with substantial haze. Small bubbles drift lazily to the surface in sparse streams.
Aroma: A pronounced note of grapefruit and lemon rind dominates the aroma. There is mild, bready malt as well.
Taste: At the open, there are some mild grassy and herbal hops, and pleasant bready malt. Although there is a fairly sharp note of hops in the aroma, it is understated in the taste. Later in the taste, there are some fleeting lemon and orange notes from the hops. The finish is dominated by bready malt and a mild, lingering herbal hop bitterness,
Mouth feel: Full and soft, with a bit of zesty carbonation.
Drinkability/notes: Very pleasant and drinkable, better than I expected it to be.
Presentation: Packaged in a standard twelve-ounce aluminum can, served in a La Fin du Monde tulip. Beer number one from the Sam's Club Beer Advent calendar.
