Bottle. Pours a pale golden with a small frothy white head that diminishes quickly. The aroma is honey citrus and sweet fruit. Decent spotty lacing on the glass. The taste is citrus with a light hop dry finish. Easy to drink, a good wheat ale from bells.

Lovely wheat beer. Perfect for hot days, not overdone or difficult. Good fruit flavors and the dry spiciness of Saaz. Also, perfect for weaning people away from their comfortable, worthless discount stuff.

Pours orange with a big white head from bottle. Has a slightly fruity vibe on the nose. Lots of carbonation. The taste is smooth and crisp. Finishes clean. Nice summer beer.

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.

Magjayran (1379) - Durham, North Carolina, USA - DEC 14, 2006
Very pretty hazy orange color with a small white head. Hints of lemon peel in the aroma and a bit of bread. Flavor is fairly simple citrusy affair with a bit of spicy hops. Nothing incredibly special about this one but it’s solid.

Small fizzy head above a yellow body with a slight orange tint. Really no aroma at all. Maybe some wheat. But basically nothing. It does have decent flavor though, but is also light. Sort of a very light fruity wheat taste. Fruit includes oranges, bananas, apples and some light pilsner-hop bitterness. I appreciate the "complexity" in the taste, though it is very light. I could still enjoy a few on a hot day.
