A nice summer blend. Lighter beer with a touch of honey and a wheat/citrus smell. Darker yellow and goes down smooth with a faint honey aftertaste. Overall a nice beer.

Wheaty aroma with hint of fruit. Somewhat dusty. Pale gold with particalia that makes it appear hazy. Is the particalia intentional? The date on the bottle is Sep. 30 ’07. Thin white head. Unlike many honey brews, you can definitely taste the honey in this brew. Sweet. The orange peel is also evident. Nicely done. Most summer ales are very subtle in their flavoring, but this brew brings a little more to the table. I’m not a big honey fan, but for those who are, this brew is a treat. A little one dimensional. Another macro produced brew that is woefully underrated due to the Ratebeer macro bias.

Pretty nice brew for a hot summer. Touch of honey in the flavor with the citrus undertones gave it a thick mouthfeel without being overly sweet. I liked this more than I expected I would.

Clear golden colour with strong red and orange hues and a small persistent white head. The aroma was faint but had some orange citrus zing to it. The flavour was decen at first, light with honey and orange coming through. By the end the honey sweetness was too much and I had trouble finishing it. It wasn’t too bad though.

Beer is a smooth drinker, if you like Blue Moon Belgian Wheat as a treat every now and again, then this would be it’s everyday counterpart. Wheat, honey, and slight taste of orange are all present, but not in excess. Goes down easy and is very satisfying for the season in which it was intended. One of my favorite summertime "any day" beers.

One bottle in trade. Avg. white head on this brew with a slightly sweet aroma. Nice wheat with taste of honey and orange. I had this after trimming some branches off my skyliner locast tree. It was very refreshing. Thanks JB.

Pours a crisp and clear light colden color with a small white head. Aroma is citrus and honey. The initial taste is malty and finishes with a bit of citrus and honey. A very easy drinking beer.

Brought over by some friends on an evening visit. Had one bottle and that was quite enough for me. Hazy golden pour with a thin white head. Aroma was odd, but intriguing sort of a harsh honey spicy sweetness. Thin body with a tacky finish, not very refreshing. Sweet and semi-dry but not too involved. Flavor just didn’t click with me. Overpowering honey flavoring detracting from almost anything else that’s in there. A hint of spice, faint light malts. Nah, not my bag.
