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.

Ah the lucky all sevens rating. poured and opaque amber hue with a thin white head which had okay retention. A nice fruity aroma with nice apricot and peach notes, and some spice. Good malt flavor nice balance between fruit and wheat. Finished with a sweet alcohol taste. Full bodied.

A very summery beer. Very cloudy and thick, with particulates throughout. At first underwhelming, but flavor builds with time. By the end of the glass, I felt it was an excellent beer. Since it is thicker holds cold well... and flavor is satisfying.

Good beer. Full of flavor, with a smooth texture and sweet, yet malty taste. Great beer for a summer day in the sun.

Had this at Duckworth’s yesterday again for $2. Great summer brew. Really smooth and enjoyable. It was fairly hot later in the afternoon and nothing quenches that like an Oberon. A slight spiciness in the hop balances this beer out beautifully.

I am a GLBC fan till I die, but this is easily my favorite summer beer. I also love water, but would rather drink this on a hot summer day.

definatly one of my favorites. Pours golden in color with a white 2 finger head. Smells of citrus and some spices. great wheat taste then then the spices and citrus flavor takes over overall very good beer
