Wheaty with citrusy flavors also alot of yeast. Heavy carbonation gives this beer a stronger character. Has some spice aspects to it as well -- cininman and something else....medium hops - a very refreshing beer.
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Sweet, fruit pastry aroma - apricot, yeast, toasted sugar. Hazy apricot with a coating filmy head. Drier than it smells, and less fruity. medium bittering, moderate tanginess. Medium-quick finish. Good with nachos and garlicky salsa. Mad Mex, someplace near Pittsburgh airport.

12oz bottle. Hazy with an orange bronze hue. Halo of white head. Yeasty, with a grainy, citrus nose. Orange and cinnamon. Fruity and sugary.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Refreshing. Hazy yellows with moderate head. Citrus notes with accompanying tang from lemon and orange to some mild yeasty notes. Adequate body with carbonated lilt, making it an easy-to-drink summertime beer. Not enough spice by my palate to think of it as memorable, but by the same token, not so much as to impede its appealing qualities. I’ve had a fair number of mediocre wheats, so within the style I would regard this as a decent choice, though not necessarily the best example of it, if such a distinction can be allowed.

UPDATED: SEP 5, 2007 Bottle (12oz). Hazy bubbly yellow-gold with a very large foamy/fizzy lasting white head. The initial gsssshhh aroma was fresh bready yeast, in the glass I get yeast, lemon, banana and very mild spice, built around a light hard-candy malt base - it’s dry, a little sharp, and ultimately dominated by the candy character. Tastes of sweet grain, candy malt, only hints of the banana, lemon and spice - there’s a tinge of alcohol in the finish - better than I expected, but still not amazing (6+). Average body, lightly carbonated, quick finish, lightly syrupy mouthfeel - quenched my thirst, but didn’t really register much - although better than average of the whack of AmWheats I’ve been rating lately.

Draught sample at MBG 2006 Summer Festival. Clear golden-amber. Light aroma and flavour of wheat, yeast and lemon. A simple wheat, refreshing but generally forgettable.

12 ounce bottle purchased from Manchester Wine and Liquors. Spicy, peppery, coriander-like aroma with a tad of citrus going on as well. A little bit of doughiness is there as well. Mild to moderate hazy honey color with a huge huge fluffy white head. Takes forever for the head to settle. The bottle initially overflowed on opening as well.Very sweet, sugary honey-like start, turning a little spiced and peppery in the middle. A bit of lemons later on before the sweet, sticky, cloying honey comes back. This is almost a mead, for Pete’s sake.
