This post is a bit delayed, but here's a quick shot of the first pour of my American Wheat (Holler at Me).
Over all, great flavor, and coloring. Mostly malty/wheaty flavoring. The aroma is wheaty, with very little hop smell/bitterness. One oddity is that my first pour came out almost entirely clear (as opposed to hazy). The second pour from the bottle came out totally hazy (as it should). I've just been telling people to spin the bottle a bit before pouring to get the proper haziness. ABV is dead on at 5%. Definitely more hops and less yeast than my German Hefeweizens.
For reference, here's a link to the BJCP style guidelines for American Wheat. Over all, I think this beer is dead on for the style. I'm going to enter this one in the 2010 Chico Homebrew Competition.
