I am not a huge fan of this although I do like the peppery notes. Hops wise tastes a little phony. Way more IPA than wheat. Tastes gimmicky. Somebody is cutting corners when their making this one.

Bottle:   Pale hazy golden, thin sudsy white head, spotty lacing.   Soft citrusy hop aroma, a bit musty and woodsy.   Pithy start, quickly being citrusy and hoppy.   Does have a slightly wheaty background.   Seems like a strong American Pale Ale with a wheat flair.   Body and mouthfeel are moderate.   Lots of citrus peel like hoppiness on the exit, without being overly bitter.   The wheat aspect lends a nice touch.   Fairly enjoyable overall.

Bottle. Cloudy golden yellow color, small white head. Aroma of sour lemon bubblegum and a bit of banana. Taste is slightly sour banana, grapefruit. Not bad at all.

650 ml bottle from bev4less. Pours a translucent brass color with a small white head that soon recedes to a fine film. The aroma is mild sweet grains and a touch of earthy spices. The flavor is citrus hops forward with a good oranges, papaya and sweetened grapefruit juice. Base malt is bready with some caramel. The palate is full and viscous with prickly carbonation. Finishes medium in duration and dry with lingering earthy bitters. Overall: Not bad, very refreshing.

Bomber served in a tulip. Pours very hazy orange with ashort head. Good lacing. Nose of corn, wheat, light spice, and bready malt. Medium sweet with belgian fruity notes. Light-medium body, average carbonation, sticky texture, and bitter, dry finish.
