12oz bottle, batch 8546. Pours clear golden, with a slight orange hue, capped with a small white head. Aroma of wheat, melon, honey, euro hops and spice. Flavor is wheat, cereal grain, melon, clove, and citrus. Spice and wheat hang around for a long finish. Medium bodied and very drinkable.

NeoHippie2 (244) - Louisville, Kentucky, USA - FEB 2, 2009
This was a really good wheat ale. Pours a cloudy amber with a nice white head. Citrus and wheat on the nose. Smooth malty body with a nice hops presence as well; nicely balanced. Goes great with an orange slice. Finishes crisp and clean. Definitely worth a try.

From a 5L minikeg. Pours a hazy light orange with a thick white head. Nice citrus wheat aroma. Great smooth body, very drinkable malt wheat taste with more hints of citrus. Well balanced and tasty.

Orange color with white head. Taste of wheat, grass, and citrus. Not a lot of aroma or aftertaste. A great summer beer though.

Coltrane (108) - South Carolina, USA - JAN 29, 2009
Although I am usually anti-fruit with beer, this one REQUIRES an orange. If you haven’t had it on a summer day with a fresh slice of orange, it simply doesn’t count. It is a mediocre beer without the orange. But with it, it is fresh, beautiful, continuously drinkable with a nice citric bite to go along with the wheat smoothness.

Pours a hazy light orange with wheat and grassy hop in the nose. Flavor is light citrus, tangy wheat, and a little sweet maltiness.

Doppelganger (1383) - Dry County, Arkansas, USA - JAN 24, 2009
Bottle, from John’s Grocery in Iowa City, IA. Hazy orange, smallish layer of fine white head. Cold, sweet orange aroma, a bit of mint. Green grass flavor and bitter citrus oil. hint of tomato. Nice touch of hops in the finish. Much higher flavor volume than the usual American-style wheat beer. I dig.
