not a bad wheat beer if you like them filtered. this one pours a crystal clear pee yellow color without much head at all, but it does leave lacey white rings as it drinks. the nose is white wheat malt and lemon cream. its got a really nice citrus zest to it and a very delicate malt profile which makes it a super summer drink. the nose and the taste are the same, again with that rich dessert style lemon coming in and a slightly tannic wheat flavor which is a little strange in the finish but doesn't hurt it much because this beer is so clean on the back end. very easy drinking with just enough carbonation and one of the lightest bodies ive come across in the style. it could use a little more meat to it in my opinion, but my girlfriend loved it. overall a nice lemony twist on a very light wheat beer. refreshing and well made.

A - Poured a somewhat cloudy, straw yellow color. It had a pillowy, white head of foam that left behind minimal lacing.
S - It smelled of lemon, wheat and slight floral notes.
T - It has a smooth and sweet wheat flavor with touches of lemon. Not much spice or anything else in the taste department.
M - It was fairly crisp and sharp. It didn't have a real strong pop that some wheat ales have on your tongue. A light bodied beer.
D - This is an okay wheat beer. Not the finest brew from Dillon Dam but worth a try.

The beer pours a light pale yellow with a thick frothy white head that fades to lacing. The aroma is average. It has a dry wheat malt scent that is weak. It also has some hops in the aroma. The taste is average as well. It has a grainy wheat malt flavor that is dry and slightly sweet. There really is little going on here; no real complexity to speak of. The mouthfeel is decent. It is a low bodied beer with adequate carbonation. This is an average wheat brew. It's has little to brag about, yet it goes down like water.

Clear yellow brew, with loads of carbonation feeding a frothy head. Limited retention and lacing.
Not much aroma at all, perhaps some wheat malt.
Not much flavor at all. My buddy ordered this, assuming it was a hefe. The only flavors were some light wheat malts and a touch of citrus. Light bodied brew that finished clean. Drinkability was let down due to several factors. Go for their hefe instead.
