Ive never tried that kit to comment on how that one may taste, but you can get a wheat beer to try in most supermarkets, typical ones you see here are German ones such as Erdinger or Franziskaner. The label will probably say "Weissbier" on the front.
For the finished product, they're intentionally hazy (an effect of the wheat) so don't be alarmed if it looks cloudier than you may expect. Flavours differ depending on what kind of yeast they've included with the kit, but alot of German wheat beer yeasts can impart flavours of clove, banana or bubblegum on the beer but i think that is alot less typical in the American style
Also in a wheat beer, some people prefer that the yeast layer that settles at the bottom of the bottles which we would normally discard, is actually mixed into the beer. I was in Berlin last year and saw a Bavarian chap order a wheat beer in a bar which came in a bottle. The barman poured it out without rousing the layer of yeast at the bottom. The customer reached across the bar, took the bottle, swirled the yeast up and poured it into his beer!
