Not too much different than the original. There is a honey taste to it, however. You can smell and taste the yeast, which is sort of nice.

Wow, pretty good weekend for on-the-beaten-path new beers. Picked this one up at the Circle K. Dry, honey-twangy lagerish aroma - I didn’t particularly enjoy the smell. Mashed banana gold, decent label, head fades quickly but the brew is effervescent and the foam clings in webs on the sides of the glass. Dry, moderately acidic, fruit-pith bitterness, some tart stone fruit - sloes, plums. Medium light body, bready at times, honey only discernable to me in the nose and the aftertaste. On the whole, it did make a play as a crisp and light summer beer.

Pretty good effort from this big brewer. Thirst quenching sweet wheat ale. Some nice citrus notes. Medium palate.

Poured a clear yellow color with a thick white head which had great retention. Aroma was a bit of a disappointment no real honey note, just a one-sided wheat note. Flavor on the other hand had a mild yet well paired honey and a bread malt character. No real citrus note though. A light crisp finish.

Nice enough appearance, golden with a nice thick white head,livelly carbonation. Nothing much at all to the aroma though, malty,slightly spicy, not offensive. flavour is sweet of course, but honey sweet and surprisingly not artificial,there is a goodly amount of malt backing too, and some slightly over-ripe but still edible oranges. Palte is kinda thick , but finishes crisp inthe end,though i can taste honey in the after taste for a while. Weird beer, not sure if this an American wheat. Its not bad for a summer thirst quencher.

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.

Poured golden with a nice head that settled into a light ring. Not much in the nose. Smooth intro with some carbonation in the medium, crisp mouthfeel. Obvious honey and ripe banana in the finish. Some floral notes. Good summer beer. Enjoyable.

Pours a hazy light gold with a fizzy white head that settles quickly. Aromy of citrus and wheat, with some honey sweetness. Flavor is a typical wheat with honey and citrus coming through on the finish. Thin bodied for a wheat, but refreshing.
