Hazy straw pour with a thick fluffy white head. Man, that head faded quick. Yeasty, not musty, slight orange aroma. Some sort of tropical fruit too. Slight dryness at the front of the taste. Medium light body of breadiness but almost flour-like. Wheat of course. Light toast flavor and end with some off flavors and wet cardboard. Some vegetable in the aftertaste. Very easy drinking on this 95 degree day. Would not go out of my way for it. But not bad.

UPDATED: NOV 14, 2010 Drank from bottle. Aroma was that of wheat (it is a wheat beer after all) and hops. The taste was surprisingly heavy yet still refreshing. The wheat taste is very pleasant and finishes strong with a hoppy bitterness not normally associated with this genre of beer. Overall, damn...I wish I had another.

Bottle. Deep golden color, small white head, solid lacing. Aroma of white pepper and malt. Taste is slightly bitter, slightly citrus. OK.

Pours a golden straw color. Big, long lasting white head. Citrus and fruity to the taste with floral aroma. Very nicely balanced with hops and very drinkable. Microbrew Blue Moon, but better.

Pretty freaking good. Tremendously well balanced. Very smooth and easy to drink. Wish I had more of this. Went great with chicken and pork stir fry at dinner last night. Bells continue to blow my mind. This is probably the best American wheat beer that I’ve ever had. In my top 2 or 3 of wheat beers period. Wow!

A good ale - I’ve been hit or miss on this. Sometimes it’s great, sometimes it’s got a little soap taste to it.
