Had this last night at the Irishmen in Everett, as it was the first beer that I bought in a month(!). Yeah, I’ve been on the road for that time but given that I visited Laura Palmer’s house earlier in the day, this was a perfect beer to continue my Twin Peaks bender with…

Appearance has a nice cloudy golden amber with a nice crisp head. Smell of malted wheat and real light honey. Taste as it says on the bottle is an American style having a sharp taste of the wheat, sweetness from the malt and light citrus. Mouthfeel is light with good body and carbonation. Not alot of complexity here, but again it is an American style and better than most.

pours a cloudy orange-yellow with a small white head, and good lacing.

smell is faint, some wheat, some citrus (lemon), and a little banana.

taste is of wheat, yeast, and lemon/lime citrus, ends tangy and a tad bitter.

nice tasting wheat ale, needs a little more on the nose.

Poured from 22 oz bomber into a pint glass.

Appearance: light yellow-golden color, slightly opaque, with a nice 2-finger head. A very attractive lacing is left on the glass as I drink.

Smell: a very light, mild grain aroma. Not bad, but not particularly enticing.

Taste: nice wheat flavor; finishes with a nice citrus bite. Hops are relatively mild but spicy in character. Quite tasty in my opinion.

Mouthfeel: medium, bordering on medium-thick body; gets the job done but isn't overwhelming.

Drinkability: I find this beer quite drinkable and refreshing. Wheat beers have a reputation as being great served ice cold on a hot day, but this guy is nicely refreshing even outside that context.

Served in straight pint glass with no fruit. Poured typically cloudy, but with no head whatsoever and little carbonation.

The aromas were very muted, although as expected for the style. The banana and clove were present in both aroma and taste but noticeably lower than expected in both.

The body was typical for the style, that pleasant and refreshing wheat making a pleasant change from the usual PNW hop monsters. A very smooth beer, this very drinkable, but with the taste so subdued, why would you? Overall a below average Hefe and the first disappoinment I've experienced from this fine brewery. I'll revisit this beer in a few weeks and if needed, adjust this review.
