Very American, clean taste. A typical example of an American wheat, a little citric, but light.

Reminded me of sapient trip by Dark horse. A very light version that is. Very sweat. Black licorice with wheat.

Tap at the Muddy Pig. Clear, metallic yellow, seeming to broadcast skunk right from the start. Aroma is mostly of honey and caramel, with a distant touch of lavender and grasses, which quickly converge in a wet compost heap. Tastes a bit milky. Hints of orange. Predominantly, the honey swallows up minor indications of spicy or tart characteristics - killing the wheat unceremoniously. Eventually it’s like pure sugar. Poorly rendered.

UPDATED: JUL 30, 2009 Clear orange-amber with light, fizzy white head / Sweet, citrus nose / Light to medium body, sweet and somewhat syrupy, fizzy carbonation, with fair finish / Toasty flavors of lemon, orange, and apricot / A little overly sweet and syrupy.

Dry fruit with notes of sweet malts and sour hop aromas. Copper, hazy, with small white head. Notes of apricot, sour hops and tofee flavours. Sour, wheaty finish.

Bottle. Slightly hazy amber color with a bumpy off white head. A terrible phenolic/chemical (almost pissy) aroma polluting what seems to be some white grainy malt, apple and lemon underneath. Mildly sweet light cereal flavor with some esters, citrusy hops and grass. Strong fizzy carbonation escapes very quickly, leaving behind a flat and unattractive smelling mess in my pint. Uggh.

Apple, candy, and cream aroma. Hazy amber color with absolutely no head, even with an aggressive pour. Very medicny taste, with apple notes throughout. Apple core finish. Rather like a belgian witbier. Not to my liking., although I have really enjoyed other beers from this brewer.

pours hazy straw yellow color with white head. smells cirtus. taste is bolder than expected, with lemon, orange, wheat, honey. quite sour, but not unpleasant. good summer beer.
