3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
This beer pours a clear golden-orange color with a medium thin white head that diminishes quickly to a film. Short strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of wheat and grassy hops. Light and crisp body with flavors of mild hops, wheat and yeast. The finish is short and lightly hoppy. Pretty average overall.

12oz bottle from The Beer Depot in Ann Arbor, MI. Pours a cloudy, golden colored body with a finger-width, frothy, white head that dissipates quickly and leaves a moderate, soapy lacing. Aroma is slightly bready wheats with some lemongrass and floral hops. A touch of toast in there too. Flavor is pretty solid. Some bready wheat malts up front with a pleasant, light toasted grain. A crisp, floral hoppiness comes in with some lemongrass and other citruses before this finishes smooth, crisp, and dry with a light bitterness. Medium-light body with a moderate carbonation. Overall, an alright beer. Very easy drinking and sessionable with a nice, crisp hopping and soft, pleasant malt backing. Not bad.

Tons of flavor for a 4.4% ABV beer! Pale blond color with some haze. Aroma and taste were wheat tang, with some sourness. Much better than I expected.

Reviewed from notes.
Pours a slightly hazed yellow-orange with a small, tight white head. Mode brings some mildly sweet caramel malt along with some earthy hops. Taste is along the same lines. Pretty light overall. Feel is light with good carbonation and a nice understated bitterness. Drinks okay, but nothig too special.
Serving type: on-tap

2.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
12oz bottle pours a clear golden yellow color with a thin white head. Nose of pale malts touch of wheat citrus and a sour slight infected note that increases with the temperature. Pale malt wheat flavors that are pretty blah with citrus, and slighlty bitter and sour. It becomes more sour and citrus that I wonder for a bit if this might be a Berliner Weisse, but I don’t think that dirty sour note was intentional. Not too good.

Thanks Floyd. An exceptionally large tan head greeted me when this beer was poured. It dissipated slowly and unevenly. The beer itself is fig brown, cloudy, and offers plenty of floating sediment. Yeast and dark over ripe fruit in the aroma. This has an "Old World" feel to the flavor. It is kind of funky, fruity, and yeasty. Still, it is very light and easy to drink. The flavor could be more substantial. Some tart bitterness as the beer warms. I love the lower ABV of this beer. It helps make this beer an excellent summer selection.
