Beer is yellow and hazy with a thin white head of small bubbles, low retention, no lacing, low carbonation.

Aroma is yeasty with this off aroma in there like the beer was fermented too hot. Mildly fusel.

Beer is medium to light in body, sweet up front, yeasty / bready in the middle and nothing on the back end. Nothing much to say about this beer except that it is boring and didn't taste too good and I won't have another.

Thanks to my folks for pickipg up this out of reach Oklahoma beer while they were in Arkansas.

Pale hay and sunshine color, but you can see the great bubbling of this wheat ale all day. Good head, foam and lacing throughout all twelve ounces!

Dried banana meat and peel with just lihtly toasted and untoasted barley and wheat aroma. Dry, sweet, sweet, and tart overall.

Mild toasting adds some cracker flavors. Yeast has some odd fruit flavors and a somewhat chalky dry palate.

Not a bad session wheat, chalky, dry, and keeps your thirst never quite quenched.

Poured into te Boston Lager glass...

A: pours a very hazy yellow-orange with a 1 finger white head with good retention and leaving small streaks of lacing.

S: a bouquet of banana bread, orange peel, and slighlty spicy. very strong and nice.

T: light creamy orangey flavors upfront fade to a spicey yet creamy, tart finish. very unique and quite enjoyable. isn't as fruity or spicy as other wits i have tried, but this light flavor will give this one higher scores on drinkability.

M: light and very lush, with a light carbonation and an off dry finish.

Overall, I felt this beer was damn good. The flavor and mouthfeel are very unique, being light on flavor and body with a suprising creamy quality. Would buy this again if it were more available to me.

Bottle into pint glass

A: Gold with almost no head.

S: Lemon and orange peel with coriander.

T: Clean, spicy tart. Bad spice finish.

M: Crisp. Doesn't leave the aftertaste of the finish.

O: It was fairly good, but not something I'll buy again. One of the worst Choc beers I've had.

There’s really nothing more pretty than a Belgian Wheat served in the proper glassware. Waving Wheat doesn’t disappoint in that regard, as the cloudy unfiltered appearance lends the beer a certain appearance. It just looks right. I only wish that the head, which is just barely there, were more prominent. Still, this is one gorgeous beer. The first aroma is of wheat, like fresh wheat that was just harvested. There’s a little bit of clove in the background as well. In the taste, wheat takes a background to the spice profile, clove and coriander. Orange zest and bitterness comes through in the middle. This beer finishes with almost a spicy, black pepper like finish. Mouthfeel is slick and creamy, and the bitterness is understated. Probably my favorite of the Choc “story series”, at least so far (I have a couple left to try). This one is an easy drinker as the others have been, but the unique spice profile makes it stand out more when compared to other beers within the style. Very enjoyable take on the style.
