Hazy yellow with lots of foam. White foam. Stinky like white gym sock. Very danky and sweet. A little tart. Finish is like mango.

UPDATED: JUN 2, 2013 Nice passionfruit with a decent bit of spice. Wheat character in the background. Pretty light. Very nice fruit and spice mix. Bit of lime.

Draft at Cole’s in Chicago. Not a typo. Decent wit. Good medium mouthfeel. Citrusy, coriander led spiciness. Well made

Better on tap, grapefruit, lime smell and taste very refreshing. Apperance is a hazy blond and the aftertaste is slightly tart and salty. Recommend for a summer day.

AWISLguy (689) - Wisconsin, USA - MAY 2, 2013
Bottle from ck1, thanks bro! Pours a very hazy, very pale golden yellow with a white head. Aroma has a fruitiness that I cannot place, some toast, some faint citrus. Slightly offputting in combination. Taste is of sweet fruits, slight earthiness and some pine. A bit yeasty. Finishes fairly short and sweet. Not a fan.

12oz bottle from trade, kinda liked the flavors overall but could not discern any flavors other than lime. Loved the cloudy

On tap @ Farmhouse. Cloudy yellow gold, small white head. Extremely bright pure fresh passionfruit aroma and character with a light wheaty base. Soft mouthfeel, tart dry finish. Crazy drinkable! We had this in bottle form a few days later, and aside from a mildly sweaty touch to the nose, it was the same. Loved it-- wish I could get this at home as a summer staple.

Pours a pale hazy yellow with a white lacing. Lemon and citrus with some barnyard notes. Somewhat tart and fruity

Enjoyed at HopScotch in Chicago. Bottom of the barrel was the best. Super creamy wheat beer with a tart fruit finish. Some dryness on the finish from the dryness but overall great. Quite a treat. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

It's a little weird yet refreshing... Would be a super good fiesta beer...citrus fruity burst on top of that traditional witbier taste...thin hazy appearance... ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

I’ve wanted to try this beer for a while and have liked some of their other varieties. The aroma is probably the toughest part to rate. It’s off a bit and doesn’t do the beer any favors. Has an almost musty, sweaty, earthy smell. Pours a nice hazy golden yellow with a moderate white head that dissipates pretty quickly and leaves just slight lacing. I appreciate what they are trying to do, but not sure they accomplished it. Has lots of citrus and spice on the tongue that finishes with some exotic flavor. Not sure if it’s passion fruit, but it’s not bad. I probably wouldn’t seek this one out, but it is a refreshing light wheat hybrid with exotic flavors that would be good over the hot summer. I give 5 Rabbit all the credit in the world for trying new things with exotic Latin flavors.
