Honey and orange citrus taste. It’s a decent summer-time beer. I liked it, but the sweetness was a little much, I would only drink one...it’s not a 6 pack pounder.

12 oz. bottle obtained from a pile of donated beer at a fundraiser. I will admit this kind of scares me. Dated Sept 7. 08. Straw yellow color with a huge head. Very grainy, slightly grassy and very sweet aroma with definite honey notes. Oh my freaking lord when I finish poring the bottle the yeast enters looking like it has the consistency of cottage cheese. That just sent an average appearance rating plummeting. Taste is honey and the faintest wheat notes. Cloyingly sweet. Drain pour.

Bottle. Average beer. Poured a clear gold with a small white head. Aroma of wheat and possibly honey. Flavor is citrus and wheat, with a sweet ending.

It was an average beer. I kind of expected a lot more since I like the blue moon belgium white. But really lacked in taste and really did not leave an after taste which was odd...

Clear gold color with a medium head. Strong corn aroma, light wheat. Maybe some citrus. Sweet corn taste. A bit of lemon and pinch of orange. Slightly dusty.

Golden in color with a decent white colored head. Clear in look. Some spices, sweetness, and wheat in the aroma. Taste is somewhat the same as the smell. Ok but not great.

Bottle from a friend’s house. He didn’t like, so gave them to me. I actually liked it. Faint citrus aroma, yellow in colr with small, light head.

Well, first thing I noticed was that when I poured there were a ton of floaties in the beer, probably some yeast or sediment from mishandling somewhere along the way. Once I got past that, the pour was a nice gold to yellow color with a solid head. The aroma was fruity. The flavor was also fruity with a dominant citrus profile. There was little or no hop character to the beer and there was a prominent wheat character. Overall, an unexciting beer, nothing wrong with it except for the bad bottle that I got.
