This is one of the few beers that I really don't have any preconceived notions about. The bottle is plain, but nicely designed. I don't really like the logo, but the six pack has a nice, recycled look to it, and I mean that in a good way. Sustainability is important in all parts of life, and beer is no exception. Oh yeah, and just to rant for a moment, I'm getting really tired of winter already, which is a very bad thing. It's so cold out that I'm kinda dreading drinking this ice cold beer. I'm starting to become curious about the German (is that the right country?) thing where they drink warm beer. But oh well. It's time to drink this beer! For America...


For an unfiltered beer, there is not much haziness at all. It smells very crisp and clean, and has the slightest hint of a honey scent. Had an excellent head on an easy pour. It's actually persisting nicely as well. Man, it's really nice to have a wheat beer that isn't heavily laced with coriander. This one is brewed along the lines of the German Beer Purity Law (with the obvious addition of wheat), so there are no secret herbs and spices thrown in. All that is in it are barley malt, wheat, water, hops, and yeast. That's it. It's really refreshing to taste a beer that is this clean and pure. This tastes like what beer is supposed to taste like. It hits every part of the taste buds equally and his no bitter aftertaste, or much of an aftertaste at all. I can only imagine what this tastes like from draft and not from a bottle.


This was a great, simple beer. Nothing too complex, just simple, deep, well done beer. If PūR made a filter for beer, this is what would come out of it. My only regret is that I didn't have this at a bar where I could properly enjoy it. I can see a great time being had with a couple friends over a couple rounds of this beer. I strongly recommend this beer. I think it is fantastic, and was very pleasantly surprised by it. I've complained in the past about a beer being good but not doing anything special, but for this beer, what it does special is having a simple, awesome taste. 87/100.
