Bif (529) - St. Louis, Missouri, USA - DEC 10, 2011
Bottle- Pours a hazy orange-copper color with a nice head and some lacing. Aroma of citrus and sweetness. There is some hint of wheat and herbal spice. Taste is a bit too sweet with some citrus and herbs. No real bitterness and sticky sweet finish that lingers. Medium body and smooth. Decent beer, but not one that I really enjoyed due to the sticky sweetness.

Spookgolds (180) - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - DEC 1, 2011
Bottle from craft beer outlet clearance rack. Pours a hazy golden color, with lots of "unfiltered goodness". Aroma is of citrus/lemons mostly, and has a wheaty/creamy taste with a full mouthfeel. Pretty good, but not great.

Not bad. This is an older bottle from my real home that I found in my parents fridge. Don’t worry, my roommate said that the date stamped on the bottle still makes it fine to drink. This appears to be a very unfiltered beer. Pretty great drink. Mild, has a hint of sharpness but not too much. I like the bottle design. Mostly plusses. The appearance takes a hit though because of it being extra unfiltered. Otherwise I’m happy with this beer. Would drink again.

Great summer brew! Pours a nice even orange with a white head that laces a touch. Nose and taste are of subdued floral hops, wheat, and pale malts. I love drinking this beer on the boat on a hot summer day.

12oz - Spicy palate, sufficient malt, a little sweetness that distracted. Delivers as advertised.

ROGUE (1315) - Newark, Delaware, USA - OCT 19, 2011
12oz bottle. Pours a hazy bright golden color with a fluffy white head that falls quickly. Smell is of floral, slightly spicy hops and some lemony citrus. The taste starts crisp and wheaty and then moves to lemon and orange with notes of coriander. The finish is stronger citric and spice flavors balanced with faint malt. The aftertaste is lingering citrus and coriander. The mouthfeel is smooth with some light chewiness to it.

Miami, Florida vacation...being from the west coast I was finally able to purchase any kind of Bell’s. Mildly spicy aroma, and citrus. Had to drink this directly out of the bottle, so have no opinion regarding color or head etc. Light mouthfeel with moderate carbonation, the spiciness of the yeast really pulls through. Perhaps one of the only true to style American Wheat beers out there.

A very decent wheat ale that pours a hazy orange colour with a nice foamy head. Happy that I brought back a 6-pack on my last trip to the US.
