On tap @ Coles Buffalo NY. Pouurs a basic wit-ish yellow. Slightly citursy spiced aroma. Taste is very basic summer wheat style, orangy citrus, coriander. Easy summer sipper

Pours a slightly hazey golden colour with an orange tint. Head is small, decent lacing on the glass. Very pleasent aroma, roasted almonds, lemon, grapefruit and other citrus fruits. Taste is genuinely citrusy, but not too tart. Overall, a crisp refreshing brew.

bottle. Pours a middling hazy pale yellow, thin fizzy head that clear away quickly. Aromas of sticky wheat sweetness with some oranges and lemons. Flavors move towards sweet and sour- a little tart yeasty bite, and some grainy sweetness. Light citrus hop notes, with a fair amount of bitterness. Palate is on the thin side. Overall not especially bad, but certainly not as good as some of the other wheat beers out there.

A wheat ale not altogether different from Celis White out of Michigan. A bit less flavor, though. Pours a nice golden color with a decent head. Smells a bit like citrus. The problem with the beer is that it is a bit watery. Has a nice initial taste but lacks taste going down. It’s easy to drink a few of these, but there are far too many other good wheats to make this one a mainstay.

Draft sample at MBGF Summer08. Poured hazy orange color with an average frothy white head that diminished slowly and produced fair lacing. Moderate sweet & sour citrus aroma. Medium body with soft carbonation. Moderate sweet sour citrus flavor with a smooth citrus acidic finish of short duration.My expectations where met.

Pours a flat hazy yellow, with negligible head but bright carbonation. Slight citrus aroma with wheat. Nice balanced flavor. Similar to a Belgium Wit.
