Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

Had this on tap at the Horseshoe Pub in Hudson, MA. Has a hazy light yellow color with moderate carbonation and little head. Smell is a bit wheaty/fruity. Taste is somewhat wheaty with a touch of fruit and has a funny aftertaste. Overall I am not a big fan of american wheats and this one is no different.

UPDATED: DEC 10, 2008 [bottle] Pours a hazy peach color with a thick and fluffy white head and good carbonation. Very faint wheaty aroma with a touch of raspberry. Wheaty and grainy taste. Not very fruity, although there was a slight hint of raspberry at the end. Very thin and watery brew.
