Perhaps I'm just grumpy because the pint cost six dollars and came with a lemon wedge, but I'm not terribly impressed with the appearance of this beer. With a light, yellowish hay color and smallish frothy head that quickly fades to a foamy film, it looks kind of wimpy for a wheat beer. The scent, however, is nicely balanced. I smell lemon, of course, but it's not overdone. It also smells fresh, floral, mildy hoppy and somehow chewy; my expectations are raising.
I take a taste and cannot maintain my grumpiness. This is yummy stuff. It's sharp, hoppy, woody, bracing, nutty, and wheaty. The lemony flavor up front is admirably restrained, allowing me to appreciate this beer's interesting, well-balanced, full-bodied character. The middle is hoppy and woody, and the finish carries a delightful, slightly metallic dryness that sizzles on the back of my tongue and cheeks. A wonderful chewiness pervades all of these stages. The web of foamy stalactites covering the glass at the end is a nice bonus.
Overall I'd say that three words describe this beer well: Crisp. Full. Balanced. If I didn't have to schlep to Times Square and pay through the nose to get this stuff I'd drink it all the time.
