This is not a bold beer. This is not a daring beer. This is just a plain delicious, highly drinkable, "Thank jebus it’s summer!" beer. Little to no aroma; what’s present is a mild citrus scent. Thin white head fading to mild but clingy lacing. Cloudy, light amber in color. But the taste...smooth, crisp, with nice carbonation, a mild malt flavor, nice hoppy finish that doesn’t linger long enough to be unwelcome. I don’t think everything Bell’s makes is awesome, but this beer is, without a doubt, one of the best beers around.

Very pleasent beer, a nice golden color with a nice white head on it. Very smooth beer with a little bit of a citrus orange taste to it. Glad I was in Michigan to drink it!

citrus, herbs, golden, hazy, white foam, medium sweetness, lightly bitter, light body, slick feel, soft carbonation, look forward to baseball season every year so I can enjoy this symbol of summer. Slightly more citrus this year which to me is a good thing. Another great job to Larry and his crew.

Came across this at keiths wedding. Drank out of a bottle so tough to get a great rating. From what I could tell this beer is a fantastic wheat beer. Dang!

Incredible, sweet, orange and citrus aroma. Pours a beautiful amber-orange with a clear white head. Perfect amount of bitterness in the aftertaste.

UPDATED: JUL 1, 2011 Cloudy on the pour. Bitter presence greets the tongue but finishes with a nice fruit taste. 4.0
RE-RATE 7/1/11 Bottle. Pours a clear light yellow orange color. Small white head. Aroma is grains with lemon peel and gentle hops. Flavor is gentle spice, citrus and brown sugar. Sweet flavors with a gentle hop kiss. Great!

From bottle. August Dayton Beer Tasting event - Favorite Summer Brews. Classic American Wheat beer. Pours a deep hazy orange. Head dissolves a little too quickly. Nice mouthfeel with apricot, honey and wheat flavors lingering. One of my favorite summer beers.
