Bottle from Pinocchi’s in Media. pours a cloudy peach color, nice foamy white head. Some white sediment floating near the bottom. Taste is a bit on the creamy side and not as citrusy/hoppy as I expected. More on the grainy side. Some orange in the finish, overall a good brew.

12 oz bottle. Pours a pale golden color with debris floating around in it with a large white head. I’m really hoping that the reason stuff if floating around in it is because it’s unfiltered. It has the aroma of banana, clove and wheat. I think there is something wrong with this bottle of beer. It tastes slightly bitter and has no wheat beer characteristics at all. I dumping this one out. It may not be fair to rate this beer but I only bought one bottle of this and it sucked.

A: The pour is a very vibrant straw color with a pronounced cloudiness and a bit white head. S: Quite a bit of the wheat comes though on the nose to provide a definite sweet, cereal aroma. There is a hint of tartness as well, but overall a very light nose. T: A similar story when it comes to the flavor. Light on the palate with some lemon and wheat flavors, almost berliner weiss like. Still, some sweetness comes through at times. M: Quite light on the tongue with a crisp carbonation that would definitely make this one refreshing on a hot day. D: I do not understand why this beer does not get slammed like others of a similar style do. This is really no different than most of the beers being advertised by brewpubs as "hefeweizens".

I’ve had this both on tap and out of a bottle. Very good summer ale. Great to have while grilling.

Sampled Spring Fort Lauderdale. Golden honey pour nice hops to the taste a slightly sticky sweet taste sits on top of citrus notes. Slight metallic aftertaste. Otherwise, another delicious brew from Bells.

This was my gateway craft beer that I started drinking years ago when it was known as Solsun. This is the beer of summer and it still is one of my all time favorite American wheat beers.
