Had this in a bottle in Sauk Centre, MN

The beer poured a rich, golden color with a 1.5 finger head.

The flavor is very crisp with a tart-citrus, hoppy taste. The mild malt imparts a hint of dates.

The carbonation is medium-high with a good mouthfeel.

I really enjoyed this beer and would definitely have it again.

Here in Missoula I stop by the Brewery once in awhile to have my free sample. This is one of the best beers they brew. It has a wonderful smell. The color is a rich golden wheat. It is way too drinkable and I am glad they limit you to only a few sample glasses.
The aroma of this beer actually overwhelms you in their tasting room where they are serving a lot of other brews. It also has a head that won't quit. I really like this beer.

Bottle poured into a 12oz mug at Green Dot Stables in Detroit, Michigan.

I am shocked I like this so much more than the majority... but hey, everyone has an opinion.

Appearance: A yellow color with a pretty big three finger or so head... took awhile to die down so I could get the whole beer in my glass. Phenomenal lacing... maybe the best part about this beer.

Smell: A significant wheat note, but a nice fruity aroma in there as well from the hops. Somewhat sweet.

Taste: Excellent wheat beer... I have to go with the bros. on this one over the mass majority ... I'm sorry, this deserves higher than an 82 rating. Again, I know it's all subjective. I WAS a beer deep, but it wasn't a super strong beer that'd throw me off. Trout Slayer has a nice wheat profile, but it's not overwhelming... the hops in this give it a fruity/floral flavor without making the beer too bitter, so it's still incredibly drinkable. Hard to believe this is only 4.7% ABV.

An incredible Pale Wheat Ale ... a nice, big flavor, a pleasant hop presence, and a great first beer I've had out of Montana. You have to try this one.

Clear gold with one finger of white head. Good amount of lacing follows head recession.
Smell this is one of the first wheat ales that smelled like banana to me.
Taste is equally banana, slight cloves, a nice compliment of hops.
Mouthfeel was slick with a bit more carbonation than usual. Medium bitter finish. Slight dryness.
Overall a tasty and enjoyable wheat ale.

A - Not real hazy for wheat beers - sediment a little chunky.

S - Nice wheat body with citrus notes.

T - Clean taste, not as much wheat flavor as I hoped for.

M - Not excessively carbonated, but goes down smoothly and tingles the tongue a little.

O - Good beer. I've had better from Big Sky. I could imagine putting a few of these back whilst flicking a jig.

Pours a clear golden with almost no head. Smell is of green apple and some grain. Taste begins with some light caramel, then some bread, followed by some mint, anise and fennel flavors. An herbal, tart finish. Mouthfeel is good, though carbonation a bit low. Overall a good beer.
