From a bottle (which Ughsmash tells me is classy!). Smells a bit citrus, with wheat or grain. Tastes like wheat with a little citrus and grass. Easy drinking, not too sour or hoppy. My favorite summer beer.

SanfordBrewer (1206) - Sanford, Florida, USA - OCT 10, 2010
Hazy gold, big dense head, very effervescent, lots of yeast chunks, medium body, high carbonation.

Aroma: funky, bright fruit.

Taste: bright fruit (orange, heather), saaz hop bitterness, funky yeast, wheat tartness, a touch of sourness (lacto?), and a just a hint of pale malt.

Not at all what i expected. There’s nothing american about it. Like a cross between belgian wit and berliner weiss. Quite flavorful, complex and balanced.

A nicely balanced wheat. A bit of spice, bit of citrus, smooth and refreshing. A bit more full-bodied than many wheat beers, and that is a good thing.

Looks like a Wit, smells like a Wit, tastes like a Wit, must be a Wit. A fair beer, or ok.

1/10/2010 - bottle @ Klaas’ place Thanks to Nate for the bottle!

Pours a cloudy yellowish to orange beer, white fine head. Little yellow flecks floating around in it. Aroma has citrus fruits, honey and wheat. MF is somewhat flat, medium body. Taste is malty, some caramel and citrus fruits. Aftertaste is a little watery, malts and spiced and a hint of citrus. A nice wheat beer.

This was much better than the first time i tried on tap. This time I had it from the bottle in a traditional stein, very good. I am not much for citrusy finishes but this was very mild and refreshing. It poured a beautiful tranlucent gold with a light creamy head. Very well balanced, a great summer beer.
