COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
An American wheat ale made with European ingredients. Belgium wheat malt and Czech Saaz hops provide a spicy, fruity balance to this seasonal ale. (Formerly known as Solsun)

Pours a cloudy golden color with an airy foamy head. Strong orange / orange peel, citrus taste with spicy notes. As session beers go this is one of my favorites, light and well balanced.

erickok (802) - Leiden, NETHERLANDS - SEP 29, 2010
Good looking weizen with snow white head. Grapefruit, citrus, cereal. Good balanced sweetness and bitterness, with the sweetness taking over in the aftertaste. Not the best in its style, but certainly a nice and very easy drinkable one. Tasty replacement for a lager when you need refreshment. ($3,50 in The Top, Gainesville)

Bottle. Hazy light orange with a small white head. Apricot, wheat, and orange aroma. Flavor is sweet, citrus, wheat, and a very slight spice. Light bodied. Overall a very pleasant beer.

talleyrand (38) - Minnesota, USA - SEP 26, 2010
Rich, white head. Lots of thick particles floating in the beer which impart a hazy, light amber appearance. Palate feel is full. Taste is somewhat understated, but well balanced. A great beer for sitting on the porch in the summer.

Bottle thanks to drowland. Glad to try it as this will complete my rating of the top 50 most rated beers. Hazy golden orange, with creamy white head. Citrus, wheat, sweetness, and lightly spicy. Decent, easy drinking, and boring. About what I would expect.

DeputyAndy (384) - Ambler, Pennsylvania, USA - SEP 18, 2010
Bottle. Hazy orange pour with a white foam head. Taste is very citrus with oranges and lemons at the forefront. I believe the one i had may have been a little old, it wasn’t quite as full and flavorful as i would have imagined. Will have to try again.

SamGamgee (2451) - down the whirlpool, California, USA - SEP 10, 2010
Bottle at the Chicago Diner. Opaque orange with a small white head, though I did mix much of the yeast into the final pour. The aroma is yeasty and doughy with a hint of orange. The flavor has a yeasty spicy amd orange fruitiness that is accentuated by spicy but mild hops. Medium sweet amd bodied with a yeasty texture and prickly carbonation. Very bready on the whole. Kinda dull and yeasty overall. There’s just no refreshing snap to keep me interested

Sampled at a White Sox game in Chicago. Drinks really nice. Big head on this thing. Really nice wheat ale. The spicing on this brew is great, great summer ale.
