Hazy in color, tastes of citrus....smooth and drinkable. Nicely balanced, a pretty good wheat beer.

Bottle. Poured a hazy yellow color with a small white head. Aroma of citrus and wheat. Flavor is more citrus with a decent balance of wheat. A little too sweet. Medium body with mild carbonation.

Bottle. Pour is a cloudy straw color with a bit of a white head and agressive aromas of 7-up like lemon/lime with a touch of sweetness. Flavor is a little better, but still reminds me of 7-up. The citrus balances out the wheat and yeast graininess, but it still is a little too sweet. Not going to win any awards by my books, but OK.

Pours a very hazy golden. Aroma was strong of wheat and citrus, most noticably orange. The flavor is watered down, but better than most would expect from Coors. It finishes with a nice after taste. For what it is, this is not a bad choice.

For a Belgium white made my Coors I was suprised. I imagine that is why they bought the company because I definitely do enjoy the beer. I have had it on tap and in the bottle and would prefer the tap, but either way this is a great beer and one of the better Belgium wheats I have had. The wheat taste is good with nice hint of spice and fruit.

This is exactly what you would expect from Coors. It is weak. It has hardly any aroma, and the flavor is very weak. In fact, it tastes remarkably like regular Coors with spicy hints
