Poured a hazy amber with a moderate head that faded to a collar. The aroma was malt sweetness. The taste was mildly malt sweet with a metallic taste hovering in the background. Tasted more like a red ale than anything wheat. The feel was light bodied with sufficient carbonation. Drinkability was good. I don't know if this beer was a typical example of the American dark wheat ale style, but if it is, I'm not particularly impressed.

Looks like a yellow beer with 1/2" head and minimal particulate (wheat) floating around. Aroma was grainy.
Taste was a bland affair, easy enough to drink but far from enjoyable. Its just there. Everything Saranac makes is always a toned down affair, and that's fine and all. Wheat beers have always suffered from a bland descriptor, and this one is bland for even an alleged bland style.
