3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle at the Brickskeller in DC. Hazy golden-orange color with a big white head. Aroma is wheat, yeast, and light fruits. Flavor is wheaty with an awesome fruitiness - banana, citrus, and tropical fruit - with some sweet honey. Really tasty. Palate medium-light and creamy. Simply one of the best wheat ales out there.

Bottle into pint. Trade bonus courtesy of mattmc1973 (thank you). Pours a cloudy light orange, with a large fluffy head that reduces slowly. Aroma is wheaty, citrusy, and mildly hoppy. A tiny amount of spice detected too on the nose. Flavor is moderately hoppy - more than expected. Also citrus and cream in the flavor, a little sweet malt. Creamy mouthfeel. Pretty damn good for this style. Overall, good to very good.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours bright orange-yellow; semi-cloudy with lots of sediment seen if you hold it up to a light; foamy long-lasting head. Aroma has strong hops, orange and some sweet honey overtones. Taste is surprisingly creamy, some grassy earthtones, cracked wheat bread, some citrus and like the aroma, some sweet clover honey. Definitely a little spicy coriander/orange zest as well. I love wheat beers and this is one of the best I’ve had.
