look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4

Presentation: 12oz short brown twist, no freshness date.

Appearance: Cloudy pale straw in colour with a frothy dense white head.

Smell: Mellow fruit and yeast with a mild floral noble hop aroma.

Taste: Quite flavourful ... crisp sweet barley and wheat malt, light fruit, hints of yeast, mild tartness and a light refreshing hop bitterness. This finish is well done also, fine floral notes and some drying grain.

Notes: A very refreshingly crisp brew, flavours are delicate and extremely enjoyable. A great American Wheat to be had here.

12 oz bottle poured hazy (no effort made to keep sediment in the bottle) yellow-golden with a small temporary head. Like most wheat beers, the aroma was not compelling, but the flavor was quite appealing nonetheless. The yeast imparts a fruity aroma and flavor than is rather tropical-with-apricots in the nose and mainly lemony/citrus on the tongue. Lightly tart.

O: an exceptionally refreshing barley/wheat ale, with fine citrus overtones.

look: 4.5 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 4

Appearance: A light golden color, fair amount of bubbles, and a white thick head.

Smell: A clean hoppy smell.

Taste: Finishes like a typical pilsner, and has some very faint citrus notes.

Mouthfeel: Dry, with a nice finish.

Drinkability: A good refreshing beer. Would be great for a outside bar-b-que with friends. And I know you're not supposed to drink iced cold beer, but this one may be good a little extra cold.

Pours a golden color with a finger of head that disappates to a rim around the glass. Aroma is crisp and clean with a some pilsner hops present. Flavor is dry to start and finishes with the pilsner. Slight presence of citrus - maybe some grapefruit and lemon. Clean and refreshing brew and would be good for a hot summer day.
