This is not a bold beer. This is not a daring beer. This is just a plain delicious, highly drinkable, "Thank jebus it’s summer!" beer. Little to no aroma; what’s present is a mild citrus scent. Thin white head fading to mild but clingy lacing. Cloudy, light amber in color. But the taste...smooth, crisp, with nice carbonation, a mild malt flavor, nice hoppy finish that doesn’t linger long enough to be unwelcome. I don’t think everything Bell’s makes is awesome, but this beer is, without a doubt, one of the best beers around.

Very good wheat beer... all around. Fruit beer not my thing, but this works with an orange. Very clean finish, medium body-- not light like some wheats. Very consistent.

Almost no aroma present aside from some faint citrus. Somewhat refreshing, but the alcohol is not hidden at all in this, which leads to a bitter aftertaste.

A- Translucent straw yellow body with thin white head that quickly fades leaving a nice collar. Plenty of lacing. S- Nice light smell of citrus and wheat. T- Citrus upfront, followed by wheat and some spiciness. Light wheat lingers. Nice light flavor. P- light carbonation and light body. Smooth. O- This is a great drinkable summer beer. I would have this again. Its light and refreshing on a hot summer day. Serving type: on-tap Reviewed on: 06-21-2007 19:44:21

This years brew seemed lighter in color than last year. More wheat and less hops in the aroma than I remembered. Overall a solid beer, but seemed to have less character than last year.

rags2rags (149) - Columbus, Ohio, USA - APR 4, 2010
Bottle from six-pack at Fresh Market, poured into a weizen glass. Pours a nice, cloudy, gold color with a healthy amount of foamy white head. Citrusy aroma with spicy clove notes. Light bodied, bubbly, and refreshing. Not bad.

dankman (241) - Somewhere in, Ohio, USA - APR 3, 2010
Pours a cloudy gold/copper with a nice head, minimal lacing. Yeasty nose with some citrus. Citrus flavor dominates but doesn’t take over, still some bitterness. Finishes crisp but leaves the mouth feeling a bit oiled up. This is an excellent example of a summer beer.
