Presentation: It was poured from a 12oz bottle into a pint glass. It has a hazy golden straw color with a big foamy white head that hangs out and leaves nice lace on the glass. The aroma has a touch of sweet wheat malt and honey with a hint of orange peel. Its flavor has a mild wheat presence with as noticeable sweet honey character. Orange citrus and mild hop bitterness add to the crisp refreshing character. Its light to medium bodied with average carbonation and it has a slightly sweet finish. It’s not overly complex but it gives you a refreshing simple quick hit of flavor on a hot summer day.

Pours a hazy pale golden color with nice big white head. Sweet malty aromas with hints of flowery perfume, citrus, and caramel. Light-medium body with good carbonation and satisfying mouthfeel. The taste is definitely that of wheat, with sweet gram cracker overtones and a gentle finish with suggestions of orange zest and faint anise. Great compliment to grilled lemon-peppered fish.

pours hazy pale yellow with fizzy white head. Aroma is bit of lemon and wheat. Flavor is real light, bit of honey sweetness and tad bit of lemon. Very good summer - just mowed the lawn - beer. Thirst quenching, but not pure water. Overall, pretty decent.

Bottle. Amber pour, smells like a wheat beer, but doesn’t taste like one. I actually like this a session beer, just light enough to drink a few but with some solid taste.

12 oz bottle. So I guess this is what the masses think a craft beer is, sad really. This beer was drinkable but far from good. Super creamy mouthfell full mouthfeel that goes against their claim of "crisp refreshing ale". Aroma and flavor both seemed to be trying to be to complex with the honey and orange peel not meshing but more like a battle royale in a bottle. Ah it’s a rating but I feel like I sold my soul to go up one tick.

The appearance is a very light amber, fairly clear. The aroma is very strong, and pretty much wheaty. The flavor hits you right away; while this isn’t the most wheat-like beer out there, there’s definitely no mistaking it. Also, unlike many beers that play up the honey in them, this time it’s actually possible to taste the honey (although it isn’t cloying). This may also be what helps make this beer pretty smooth. Definitely a good American-style wheat beer (also, IMO this may be a good beer for someone just learning to like beer);
