A: Pale cloudy orange body... thick fluffy white head... reduces to a nice film with good lacing.. S: Lots of summer citrus... oranges and lemons.. nice wheat base. T: Well balanced between the orange/lemon citrus flavors and the soft wheat base... M: Smooth. crisp finish. refreshing... O: Overall this is a great drinker... nice and refreshing and a bit different than most wheat beers in that the wheat is muted and oranges are delicate.. today it was in the mid 70s... i just had to have this!

Delivers on its promise, an excellent light and flavorful wheat beer with some fruit sweetness and peppery spice notes.

zgaier (155) - Coral Springs, Florida, USA - JAN 1, 2012
Pours a orange gold with a white head and wheaty aroma. Flavor is of sweet malts and wheat, pretty light tasting, with a dry bitter finish. Nothing too memorable about this brew.

Golden colored with creamy white foamy head. Aroma is yeasty and grassy. Not much flavor, a bit watery but it is a wheat ale. Drinks easily but taste is too flat for me.

Bottle. Deep golden color with an attractive white head. The nose is summery and floral, bright sugars and grassy hops. The taste is moderately sweet with a watery finish. The body’s light and approachable. Overall, OK, not very interesting.

After a nice citrus aroma you get a great creamy wheat taste. Just a beautiful ale to see, smell, and drink!
