To begin, I thought I might share a bottle I had this afternoon. Blue Star Wheat Beer from North Coast Brewing Company in California. I picked it up a Sciciliano's Market while back home in Grand Rapids this past weekend.
It comes in a shorter, stout brown bottle similar to Newcastle or brews from Founders. The label is blue and yellow, which is automatically appealing to a Michigan man such as myself.
The bottle description says "water, malt, hops, yeast, & that's all" and it seems about right. This is a pretty basic wheat beer. It poured a solid orange-gold color with an nice inch+ head that subsided nicely upon drinking. The most important part is that it tasted good. Typical wheat flavor with a little citrus; not much bite to it. The only downside might be the significant amount of sediment found in it, but that doesn't take much away from the overall quality.

It has already been added to my bottle collection, which I officially started yesterday when it became more than one total.
