huge head, orange/pink grapefruit colour..cloudy. Citric, yeasty, small bitters..very grapefruit-esk. Wheat and lemons bounce about. Very yummy!! medium body, but well balanced. I’ve been waiting forever for Bell’s to make it to Jax, and they start with only 1 beer ordered!!

Bottle pours a cloudy golden color with a light white head. Sweet citrus notes. Semi sweet taste of wheat, citrus, cloves, with a slightly hoppy finish. Great wheat beer.

Pours a hazy golden orange color with a lot of sediment. A small sort of frothy head that only lasts a couple seconds. Aroma of wheat, honey, citrus, and yeast. The flavor has a lot of sweet honey in it too. The wheat doesn’t come through excessively, but it is noticeable. A nice citrus spice that finishes sort of dry. A medium body that leaves a spicy bitterness on the tongue.

A very distinct beer, strong aroma and taste, but goes down pretty smooth. Appearance as expected - pale amber, orange-like color, but poured with a lot of head. As the logo might suggest it may be more suited as a summer brew although I believe its available year round.

Great summer brew. Notes of lemon and citrusy flavors with a hint of wheat and yeast flavors. Very drinkable.

Bottle from Foodery, Philly. Yellow light orange color decent head. Not much wheat taste. Caramel honey orange lemon and some wheat and yeast. Thin. Not bad for a Summer beer.
