Ok first time I have seen this brew up here in Salem, Oregon so here goes. Bought in the 12 oz brown long neck. Its a nice enough beer to look at hazy straw gold..but the head is pretty small and goes fast..some splotchy lace left on glass sides. for a "wit" the aroma is average at best..theres none of the expected spiciness here..just nice malts ..and a faint banana pudding odor. Again the taste is inoffensive but not very exciting.its mainly malts..though I dodetect some VERY faint coriander. Pretty average on the palte..nothing out of the ordinary. For all kits faults its still quite quaffable..but if you want an American interpretation of a wheat..try New Belgiums Sunshine Wheat Beer

Wow, I dont know about this. This was one of my first ratings and I had it at a 3.4. That was when the average rating was in the low 2's. Now it is holding strong at a 3.07. But I gotta say. After having this again I am no longer much of a fan. THe nose is weak, kind of bland, Some wheat citrus thing going on, but just not pronounced. Some citrus in the taste but flat and stale. Thin bodied and quite unimpressive.

I could see how this beer is one of the best macros on the site. I drank it while on the slopes of heavenly in lake tahoe CA. It was very refreshing...very clean....nothing special or worthy of shipping overseas but props to coors for making a not shitty tasting beer.

Citrus aroma. Has a magnificent taste which combines citrus and wheat. Very refreshing and enjoyable session beer.

Coors actually made a beer that has nuances of true witbier. I'm impressed. Nice yeasty nose and flavor. Plenty of malt. I'm a fan. Thick ole head, medium bodied.

Not much a smell to this, for a belgian style, or a wheat ale, let alone both. Decent look to it, but nothing exciting either. Flavor was a tad on the sweet side, with not much wheat to it. Palate just wasnt to my liking either, it was nice, but it sure could use a little kick to it.

This is one of the best beers from a macro. Incredibly fruity. Refreshing..too bad it is made by Coors.
