12 oz. bottle served in shaker- poured transparent darkned yellow with orange, a few swirls atop the liquid surface for a head, medium carbonation. Faint aroma of honey, malt, wheat, lemons, oranges, and corn. HIts the mouth with a high-thin body, honey and something else sweet (I’m thinking sucrose from the lab) hits your palate, middle has a slight amount of spice, finish is unfortunately nonexistance. I’m going to go out on a limb and say that this one isn’t that bad- it’s for people trying to crossover to other brews besides BMC, and still has some swill elements. Don’t judge it to the nipple twisting, Brett forced, aged in old whiskey barrel beers- if you can call them beers. It is what it is- and it wasn’t too bad at a recent Texas BBQ with it being 105 outside, in the shade.

A light golden yellow beer that you can’t quite see through. Small bubbles say drink me, but the head what little there is dissapeared quickly and no lacing at all. The taste was a mild watered down taste with a hint of carbonation. I would drink it if someone else bought it, but over all a weak flat beer.

12 fl oz bottle. Pours clear and golden yellow with a small white head. Cornish and vague syrupy sweet aroma. Bitter and syrupy flavoured, light cornish touch. Light bitter finish. Lasting syrupy flavoured finish impression.

BBQ day is a lot better with this, instead of coors, bud or miller, drinkable by the pool yet full of flavor to the point that it adds to the meal instead becoming back ground noise......................................................... what am I suppose to say here I don’t know.............I’m new...

Location: Had this one a few times before, but I’ll drink it one more time and give it a rating
12 oz bottle, I didn’t buy it, and I don’t know where it came from, 7/16/09

Aroma: Light lemon/citrus nose, a bit of honey, not much else there
Appearance: Clear and fizzy yellow color, minimal head
Flavor: Dull and uninteresting sweetness, not much else
Palate: Light body, overly carbonated
Overall Impression: Yup, I remembered this one pretty well. I thought I’d give it another shot, but there is not a ton of excitement here. Another boring beer that a macro brewer poorly hides as a micro.

This is a pretty bad attempt at a Wheat Ale. Very weak aroma of wheat, weak flavor of lemon and some honey. Doesn’t look good, taste good, smell good, no thanks.

Pours yellow with a thin, clear fizzy head that has no retention at all. Aroma is off smelling grain, corn?, a little orange and floral notes. Flavor is sweet grain, sweet corn, honey, artificial sweetener, floral sweetness and just a hint of wheat. If this stuff doesn’t contain corn I would be pretty suprised. Palate is light bodied with a syrupy entry, slick middle and slightly slick, but more dry finish. This stuff really doesn’t have much going for it, a heavily filtered wheat ale with sweeteners and no character.

Bottle. Medium yellow body with a frothy white head that disappears slowly. Malty aroma of grain and biscuit with hints of orange and honey. The flavor is moderately sweet, lightly bitter and lightly acidic. Finish is lightly sweet, bitter and acidic. Light to medium body with a watery texture and lively carbonation. Not near as crisp and clean as its marketing would have you believe.
