Bottle. Poured a medium white head that lingers for a while. Aroma of fruit and hop. A little cloudy with a darker yellow color. Some sediment. Nice light flavor, Fruity with hop. Not bad.

Pours an amber color with a head that quickly goes away. I really liked this ale, and thought that it was the perfect beer for here in Panama, and paired greatly with my Indian food dinner. My problem with some German wheat beers is the over-esterization (i.e. too much banana). This beer, on the other hand was perfectly balanced. Served cold (which you’re going to do in the summer), this beer was crisp and spicy with strong old world hops. I could have split a six-pack over the night. I love Bells beers. Thanks to Dr. Dick for bringing this beer to Panama.

On tap at Legends - Notre Dame. Poured a cloudy golden color with a fairly well-sustained white head. Aroma was citrusy, with some grass noted. Beer was well-carbonated, and the flaver came mostly from citrusy, grassy, and wheaty hops. Light-to-medium malt backbone. Pleasant hop finish.

Here in Kalamazoo this stuff is the Summer nectar, and for good reason! This beer is both light and flavourfull, soft and defined. It is one of the best Summer beers I have ever tried and a true testiment to what American brews are capable of. Highly recommended!

This is as good as any wheat beer gets. The ultimate session beer. Pours a beautiful cloudy orange with some sediment. A nice layer of fluffy white head stays the entire time with some decent lacing. Nose is all wheat and some florally citrus notes. Flavor is wheaty and earthy, again with some citrus and floral accents. There is a bit of creamy sweetness at the end with a pleasant hop presence. Mouthfeel is smooth with the perfect amount of carbonation. A perfect thirst quencher. One of the greats to come out of Kzoo. Enjoy.

The flavor is corn and wheat mingling with lemon zest and lightly accented grapefruit with clover hops and honeysuckle coming through in the finish. Nice.

Tap at Oberon release party in Cbus. Very well balanced and drinkable. Not my preferred style of beer but I enjoyed it very much. Can see why this is their top seller. Dangerously drinkable.
