Palate – Good Mouthfeel, Wheaty sediment texture with a dry finish.
Overall – A great summer beer with a good use of hops I can see why this is so well liked. Very good beer and very well brewed.

12 oz bottle. Pours an orange tinged gold with a small fleeting white head that settled to a whispy film. Moderately cloudy with some sediment in bottle. Nice fruity aroma with lots of wheat, yeast, and a little tangerine. Flavor is typical of an American Wheat with a good spicy wheat and yeasty finish. Mouthfeel is light and lively with an overall refreshing effect. Pretty good, another solid beer from Bell’s.

Bottled. Pours out in a warm golden colour with orange edges. The foam is low but still floating. Mild aroma of slightly sourish yellow fruit, biscuit and metal. Flavour of apricots, metal and biscuit in a light body. Short and mild finish of of cookies and apricots.

Hazy golden colour with a thin white head. Very subtle yeastie aroma mixed with a small amount of citrus. Served without a lemon; Medium to full-bodied; Great wheat & yeast taste...whle the yeast is subtle, the body shows through, and the malt is noticeable as well. Not too many crazy characteristics to mention, but this beer is one of the best wheats i've ever had...regardless of country. I had mine from a 16 ounce glass served on draught at the Polish Village Cafe in Hamtramck, Michigan on 14-August-2003.

Officially beer 2 of Bartzilla’s Death Metal Beer Tasting 6/30/07. Beer 1 was Blair’s homebrew nut brown IPA. Shared with Bartzilla, Naven, BikesandBeer and others. Pretty damn nice summer beer, we each had almost a full 12 oz. Freshing and light.

UPDATED: MAY 21, 2008 Bottle: Aroma is citrusy, pepper, spicey, and dirty wash cloth. Pours a nice hazy yellowish-orange with white head without much retention. Initial flavor is sweet but very weak. Orange is the strongest flavor in the finish. Very slight sourness and hops in the finish as well. Very thin mouthfeel. I have a lot of friends that really like this stuff. It’s decent but nothing all that exciting. 4-4-6-4-14

Time for a re-rate

Bottle: The aroma is citrusy with some notes of pepper, orange peel, and faint banana. It pours a hazy orange with a moderate white head that leaves behind sporadic lacing. The flavor starts with a moderate orange presence with some light banana in the background. The finish has tangy wheat notes, orange peel. and light pepper. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. A solid session brew.

Bottle: Poured a hazy yellow ale with some white haze and a medium bubbly white head with average retention. Aroma of weak wheat with some discernable hops. Taste is quite refreshing with a nice dose of wheat back with some sensible Saaz hops, which provide character without shadowing all the malt. Body is above average and about right for the style. Very enjoyable beer overall and would make a great session beer for hot summer days.

Hazy orange-yellow body with an ample, fluffy white head. Slowly, the head settles to a bubbly 2mm layer that nearly lasts for the entire drink. Spotty lacing dots the glass. The aroma is of lemons and oranges over a pale wheat malt background. The flavor is quite refreshing, though predictable. More of the same citrus over wheat, with just a hint of mild spices off in the distance. Body is on the lighter side of medium, adding to the smooth palate and the effortless drinkability. Refreshing summertime beer.
