Had this one while hanging out with beermeX2 at Potent Potables! Served from tap into a shaker. Poured a hazy pale yellow with a two finger white head that subsided to one finger very slowly. Maintained nice lacing throughout the glass. The aroma was comprised of sweet malt, wheat, spice, grain, and subtle citrus. The flavor was of sweet malt, wheat, grain, fruit, subtle citrus, and subtle spice. It had a light feel on the palate with medium-high carbonation. Overall this was a pretty decent brew. As far as the style goes, most people do not go into these looking to be completely blown away when they first approach it. However sometimes you do come across some good examples of the style with just a touch of difference from others to make it stand out. This was one of those cases where it did have just a little bit extra going on to keep you interested. The nice subtle notes of citrus helped out on the balance of this one quite a bit and made it rather refreshing and enjoyable. A pretty well done example of the style, but as I stated, it will not blow you away. Definitely worth your time trying if you have not done so before or are looking for something light and refreshing.

Pours a clear, pale straw color with two fingers of white head. The nose is grassy. Mild and light wheat flavor that lacks the funky tartness of many American wheat beers. There just a touch of hoppiness on the finish. As wheat beers go, this one is amazingly ok.
