12 oz bottle pour. A wonderful, highly drinkable, perfect lay around warm summer day wheat. Creamy white head with hazy, light-orange, tiny particle speckled body. Mostly malt and doughy yeast in the nose with light hops, grass, orange, and hint of apple and banana. Sweet start and dry, slightly bitter finish.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
The beer pours a hazy yellow color with a medium-sized white head. The aroma is wheat, pepper-like spices and citrus. The flavor is heavy on the wheat, black pepper and orange. Reminds me of orange sherbet. Very low bitterness. Low carbonation and a medium, creamy soft mouthfeel. This would be a great beer to drink on a hot summer day.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Draft. Pours hazy gold with thin white head. Aroma of coriander, oranges, and wheat. Taste has crisp flavor of oranges. Awesome Spring beer that is very refreshing and had me wanting more.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
12 oz bottle poured into a weizen glass.
Hazy golden with a voluminous whipped egg white head, patchy lace.
Aroma is very light. Lemon and wheat.
Flavor is equally light. Sour lemon, some spicyness, not much else.
Mildly bitter finish.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Faint citrus / yeast aroma. Cloudy light golden color w/ small, quickly dissipating white head. No lacing. Faint citrus taste, acidic and watery. Light mouthfeel with some carbonation burn. Sour aftertaste. This is my second time trying this, just to be sure. I was right the first time.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draft. Pours a slightly hazy golden with a smallish white head. Aroma is of citrusy (orange and lemon), tea, some banana. Flavor has lots of citrus, some wheat, and a little hop kick at the end. Light palate, but I could taste a surprising amount of alcohol for what is touted as a summer beer. Very crisp and refreshing.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
not much aroma; cloudy golden pour. OK taste at farst but too much carbonation and ??? on back end - not sure what it was, but made the beer sour/bitter....no thx.
