12 ounce bottle from City Market in Burlington, VT (March 2008) sampled ice-cold from the freezer out of a Unibroue glass. I let this one sit in the deep freeze a wee bit too long and it had just started to solidify in the neck -- hey, it’s a Coors product, it’s cold-brewed and supposed to taste chillin’, so that’s what I did. Pours into the glass a lightly hazy dark amber with a massive, fairly stable off-white fine-bubbled head that laces a bit as it diminishes....the lime aroma is present though a bit muted, and there is a note of sour wheat malt; not bad....the body is fairly dry, lightly tart, faintly citric, a bit thin and too highly carbonated but very drinkable and not at all unpleasant....no question this has to be the best product I’ve had from Coors; not something I’ll likely buy again, but comparable at least to something like the Leinenkugels fruity-wheat beers and better than some of the attempts from my local micros. Not bad at all.

Jul 1, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Pours slightly hazy amber with foamy, off-white head. Looks enticing. Not much nose, smells of wheat and slight banana, maybe some slight citric notes. Taste is an unfortunate amount of lime-esque notes accenting a wheat malt body with a slightly crisp ending. No hops, no real taste other than the lime. Odd metallic aftertaste. Could be the age. A big "eh" from me.

Jun 30, 2008 12oz bottle from BevMo! Pours a clear bronze color with a fizzy white head. Not really a wheat ale. Had some citrus notes and some maltyness to the aroma. Kind of a dry taste. Hint of lime. Bitter finish.

Jun 29, 2008 Tasting this, i thought it resembled closer to a lightly hopped american pale ale. Pours orangeish with a small head, aromas are somewhat citrusy and of subtle hops. mouthfeel is full and creamy, little fruit on the finish. otherwise decent beer.

Jun 29, 2008 Its OK, the aroma its practically non-existent,the body its like a brown ale, with soap-bubbles-like head,the flavor has some sour lime present quite not good,altough its very subtle doesnt fit well in the recipe,the palate, its a bit acid but from that quite forgettable.Overall its nothing outside of this world.

Jun 28, 2008 Overall I wasn’t super impressed. It wasn’t horrible I wouldn’t pour it out. I just expected more out of a spring ale. light color, the flavor is there but it lacks the finish.
