Very easy to drink. Great on a summer evening sitting outside. Great on tap or in a bottle. Citrusy and sweet flavor and smooth.

Amazingly beautiful rich golden coloured beer, full of dense sediment. Smells of citrus, oranges. Very unique taste and palate. Dull on the tongue, interesting. Light, and flavourful. Wheaty, with a long aftertaste. There are lots of flavours I can’t even identify in this excellent beer.

Excellent summer brew. Cloudy orange color, great lacing and frothy head. Spice is just right as is the hint of hops. Malt and citrus also present. My favorite Bell’s outside of the Two-Hearted Ale.

Im not a wheat beer drinker, but god is this good, different, and satisfying. Im getting a blend of a belgian and american quality that adds body, freshness, sweetness, some citrus, and a little hop. Very nice wheat. This and gumballhead are what wheat beers should be.

Complex yeast flavor mixes with orange and other spices to create a great summer ale.

My favorite summer beer. A citrus smell and taste with good body and flavor. Not thin like most summer beers, and not flavorless like other summer beers with similar body. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
