Being located in the biggest wheat producing state in the nation, a refreshing wheat beer is a must-brew. The Wheat State Golden is usually our lightest beer. It is fashioned after the Kolsch beers made around Cologne. It is traditionally brewed in the Alt Style like our Ad Astra Ale and has about 25% wheat malt. There is just a touch of caramel malt to add the golden color, and the rest is pale malt. The Golden is lightly hopped with Yakima Perle for bittering, and Hallertau Hersbrucker hops for aroma.

Honest to the type and very refreshing. Pours bright, clear pale straw with a single-finger head. Light citrus and floral aroma with a crisp clean finish.

Sampled from bottle. Thanks, Dansting! Pours clear gold with a white head. Grainy floral aroma. Slightly sweet with a pleasant, simple wheat malt profile. Clean yeast and minimal hop flavor. Medium-light body and moderate carbonation.

Free State on request from KC. Thanks to my friendly and funny donor. Pours, as touted, golden with near-perfect clarity, minimal head. Light malts combine with fruit and flowers in both the aroma and flavor profile. Light bodied, not watery, and well carbonated. Generally balanced and clean. Would make a nice session beer if only I lived in the Free State.

on tap at the brewpub .. . Pours a golden tan, good foam .. . a good beer to start with .. . light crispness- wheat and bread .. . a pretty good brew, made for the masses .. . You don’t like your job, you don’t strike. You go in every day and do it really half-assed. That’s the American way.

Golden yellow with a white head. Noble hop aroma. Well balanced. Good amount of bitterness. I'm guessing this is there token to the BMC crowd. Pretty much a yawner.

gold, clear color and a light head. aroma was average, and it was lacking in taste. almost tasted like a light beer to me - I was a little disappointed.

Poured a clear yellow from a growler with a white head. The aroma reminded me of a pils. The taste to me was more lagerish. It was an ok beer for me.

Golden with fluffy egg shell head. Crystal clear and light yellow, I'm sure this would be very approachable to the unwashed masses. Some diacetyl that distracted me from this crisp and refreshing concotion.

Poured a bright light gold with a cool, tall glass. Not quite a standard weizen glass. The aroma was citrus, bread and peanuts. The taste is bread with citrus and grass. A decent version of the style. More like a lager than a regular kolsch.

At the brewery...another fine Free State ale, although not one of their best. Pretty light beer with a slight malty flavor. Fine looking beer that has a lot of flavor and is a tasty brew.
