Had this on draft at Duffys, Chicago, IL. Pours a cloudy, dark, orange. comes with a slice of orange which I aggressively removed. Taste is citrus and sweet. Easy to drink. Perfect on a hot summer day. Watched the Reds beat the Cubs 12-0 while I drank this.

Grizzle (78) - Lawrence, Kansas, USA - JUL 1, 2010
12. oz -> pint glass. One-sixth of a gift from Dr. Bock; the 2nd 6th, to be exact. Pours a translucent gold, with nearly white head. Good carbonation, but head dissipates fast. Nice sediment. Smells mildly floral, with grass, dough, and mild "dryness," for lack of a better term. A tasty wheat ale that pretends to be a pilsner? Yes, indeed. Tastes slightly sweet, slightly bitter and slightly salty. Very balanced. Tasty brew.

Pours a golden yellow, with a thin white head. Big ole wheat and sweet smell. Tastes of sweet fruit and semi dry hops. Very nice summer session beer.

I am a GLBC fan till I die, but this is easily my favorite summer beer. I also love water, but would rather drink this on a hot summer day.

SamsCellar (24) - Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA - JUN 25, 2010
Seasonal wheat beer from Bells. Tastes best fresh & cold. Bottle poured to pint glass, thin white head that laces the glass nicely, hazy golden straw colored. Smells of light yeast and a mild sweetness, wheat with a touch of citrus. Taste is wheat with orange peel and mild hoppiness. Full flavored with a hidden spicy note, while remaining crisp and refreshing. It tastes like a sunny day.

Listigovers (216) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - JUN 22, 2010
Amazingly beautiful rich golden coloured beer, full of dense sediment. Smells of citrus, oranges. Very unique taste and palate. Dull on the tongue, interesting. Light, and flavourful. Wheaty, with a long aftertaste. There are lots of flavours I can’t even identify in this excellent beer.

Suneson (58) - Farmington, Minnesota, USA - JUN 22, 2010
Tried this on tap at a bar. Pours a cloudy bright orange with a small off white head. Fruity aroma with wheat characteristics. Has a good mix of hop and wheat flavors with a slight bitter finish.
