12/15/09 1st time in az. on tap and in bottles at papago!
hazy shade of iced tea... yellow-y orange with a soft white head.
it smells of oranges, coriander, dusty wheat, pale malt and floral.
it tastes the same with a slightly bitter floral and grainy finish.
crisp, clean, easy drinking and refreshing... why was this not always here? i could (and do) drink a ton of this stuff in the heat. 7/4/7/4/16/3.8

12oz bottle. Pours a hazy golden orange color with almost no head. Aroma is lightly sweet with alot of citrus, some malt, and a hint of hops. Flavor is orange, bread, and a small amount of hops at the finish. Also, just a bit of pine. This beer tastes awsome and is very well balanced. Mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with a bit of carbonation. The alcohol content is a bit higher than most regular wheat beers, but it is still quite refreshing and easy to drink. This is one of the better American wheats that I have tried. Another great beer from Bell’s!

UPDATED: APR 3, 2009 This is a great beer. I was turned on to it last summer and couldn’t wait till this summer to have it again. It’s good out of the bottle but even better on tap. High marks from me. However, every year it seems to be going down hill.

Draft: Poured a cloudy golden yellow with a nice head. The aroma was definitely citrus. The flavor was coriander, wheat, lemon and a hint of cucumber. Overall, a very good Wheat...very smooth.

The taste of summer.
12 oz bottle at the Jerusalem Garden, Asheville. This American Wheat beer was a perfect complement to my Middle-Eastern vegetarian platter (falafel, baba ghanoush, tabbouleh, kalamata olives, and hommous with pita).
The fruitiness from the weizen yeast perked right up with the Mediterranean spices and the Saaz finish cut right in with the olive oil in the food to make this a quencher.
Another stellar offering from Bells!

Bottle. Hazy peach pour with a nice frothy head. Aroma holds really solid balance between nectar fruits including peach and a touch of mango, light spicy and grassy hops, and beautiful wheat and yeast. Flavor has more of that wheat, fruit, and increased hop presence. Absolutely delightful on a beautiful late summer’s day.
