Very faintly hazy lemon yellow with a large white lasting head. Mild citrus lemon flowers and stale sourdough yeast aroma. Soft low carb creamy body. Mild floral citrus and grains again in the flavour. Disappointing weak almost clinical finish with a touch of sweetness in the aftertaste.

Poured cloudy straw yellow with a good head and lacing. Aroma of yeast and malt. Flavor is crisp with a light malt and yeast finish. Not bad for a corner store beer.

Pleasant enough if somewhat lacking in character. Attempt at a Belgian Ale. Wheaty and yeasty. Have a Hennepin instead. <<Just found out on this website that the beer is made by Coors. OK ... probably best micro beer I have found from a macro brewer of garbage ...>>

Certainly one of the better macros out there. Cloudy golden orange; a bit less head than hoped for. This is a big ol’ spice bomb. Lots of citrus (lemon and orange) but in a somewhat thin way; loads of curacao and coriander. Nothing subtle about it, but definitely quite drinkable.

Bottle - Hazy gold in colour. Slightly fruity and spicy aroma. Slightly tangy and fruity taste with some spicy hints. Slightly thin and disappointing.

hazy light yellow pour with nice head. malt and spice aroma. banana, spice, effervecence. I used to think this beer was great when I first started drinking. Now I can do without it. Nice for a cheap widely distributed white

On tap @ Hemingway’s in Oakland, PGH, PA. Served w/ a lemon slice (instead of orange-yuk) Hazy golden yellow color with white head. Aroma is wheat with spices. Flavor is smooth wheat with light spicing. This is a great, inexpensive summer beer---something that the chicks dig. I paid $1/16 oz. draft at Hemingway’s (the Wed. special).
