Living in AL, this is the only "micro" I can get locally on draft. Usually my go to because it is the only choice unless I want Bud or Miller. Hazy pour with orange aroma. Easy drinking.

Light, wheaty aroma with some citrus undertones. Cloudy, translucent appearance. Flavor has citrus elements with nearly no hoppiness and small amounts of maltiness. Palate is non-distinct. A fairly mundane brew, but drinkable when no better options are available.

Decent American white beer for the masses. Smooth, refreshing, and effervescent. Lacks some of the depth of flavor and character of some other wheat beers, but pretty good nonetheless.

Pours opaque light golden color with a frothy off-white head. Aroma is light spice and grains with a hint of citrus. Flavor isn’t as good or pronounced as a good representation of the style, yeasty grains with some spice and orange peel.

Had on tap, poured yellowish orangy color. really smooth going down. tasted a little fruity, actually it tasted like fruity pebbles cereal to me. But still I thought this was a pretty decent brew anyway, especially for a coors product! I would definitley have this again......but honestly I would have to not have the best of selections like I did tonight.

Bottle Shop in South Beach Miami. Fairly tired and dull sweet wheat malt profile, lack of spice or citrus character. Main weaknesses are the feel of the palate,the lack of varied aromas, and the marked superiority of easily found Belgian Wits like Brussels White , Blanche de Chambly or Hoegaarden.

I first had on tap and loved it. Tried from bottle and it tasted different, darker and kind of stale. Still a good beer but doesn’t really taste like a true Belgian witbier. The label should say "Belgian Style" and not "Belgian Ale". Shock Top actually tastes closer to one to me than this.
