Bottle. Lightly sour lemon and wheat malt flavor. Slightly hazy golden yellow color with small head. Sweet-tart lemon, hay and wheat malt flavor. Nice body (especially for a wheat beer). Very nice.

A little thin for a wheat beer. Has the yeast and wheat flavos, but watery. So far I think this company skimps on its ingredients.

good aroma and light color. its a nice light wheat beer that is fairly balanced and goes down pretty easy.

Pours a pale yellow. Served at camp hill brewpub. Starts clean with a bit of sweet but ends a bit too sour and not too crisp

Tap. Pours mostly hazy gold with thin white head; short retention and spare lacing. Aroma is wheat, citrus fruit, and cookie malt. Flavor is heavy malt, faint hops,and average citrus esters; semi-sweet finish. Light body, medium carbonation, and low warmth.

Meh, it’s okay, but I want a wheat beer to be oozing in clove/banana/spice aroma, not simply the flavor profile. Yellow color.

Flat pour into a jelly jar from Hops in the Hills 2011. Head is faint, only surfacing once this is twirled a through times around. Taste is corn, sour malt, husky corn flakes, light tangerine, and fluffy spiced grain. There is a sharp bit at first sip, ushering in the wheatfulness this beer holds. Color is copper orange and rusted apricot. A average wheat, but has a sense of quality to it.

Bottle. Pours a hazy amber with a lasting head. Slightly wheaty nose. Taste has just a slight tang to it that let’s you know you are drinking a wheat beer. Other than that it is very middling and nonpresent.

Hazy orange coloured body with a thin off-white head. Aroma of wheat, curacao, yeast and a good amount of unfinished sugars. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong yeast and wheat flavours shown up front with a little sweetness and a bit of hay in the mix. Aftertaste shows some light grassy and herbal notes, some light sugars and a touch of citrus and orange tastes. Overall, not such a great wheat - not horrible either, but not really a keeper. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Total Wine in Alexandria, Virginia on 09-November-2011 for US$1.99 sampled at home on the Eastern Shore of Virginia on 12-November-2011.

Draft @ ABC, Harrisburg, PA.Pours a hazy yellow color with a small white head. Has a fruity wheaty spicy aroma. Fruity wheat malty spicy flavor. Has a fruity wheat malty grainy finish.
