1.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20Very bland and uninteresting. Rather flat with little to no head. Medium gold color. Kind of a skunky back end. Not a very good tasting beer at all.
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
This beer seemed to have a weird combination of flavors. I didn’t go in one direction or another. Probably would have been better if it had a distinct orange or lemon flavor rather than a mixture of both. The malts didn’t help the situation.
2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Appearance:
Clear and light with colors of orange and gold under a thin white collar which fades into a broken film. A slow stream of bubbles breaks the silence.
Nose:
Sweet rolls, honey rolls. Hint of powdered sugar and angel food cake sweetness. Cold fresh cut apricots and green grapes. Ghostly essence of lemon bread.
Palate:
Sweet rolls and honey rolls front and center. Green grapes and apricots in the back of the swallow. Bright – tingles atop my tongue. Soft mouthfeel. The sweetness threatens to overwhelm – borderline cloying. Angel food cake in the middle adds to the sweetness. Fresh bananas in the breath.
Final Thoughts:
An OK starter beer but with so many better intro craft beers available on the market, I’d offer the Spring Blonde Wheat Ale to a friend only if it was the only available option. Way too sweet, cloyingly sweet. Tone down the sweetness and enhance the fresh quality of apricots and green grapes would be my 2 cents worth.
2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Pours a clear golden-amber color with a small off-white head that soon reduces to a lasting ring. The aroma is weak: wheat, hops and some faint malt in the background. More flavor than aroma. In addition to the components detected by nose, there is a light citrus/lemon quality and a grassy note. Light body; nicely dry finish; good, medium carbonation.
O: highly drinkable alternative to a light beer. Certainly works as an accompaniment to yard work and summer weather. Not much flavor or aroma here, but no striking flaws in this refreshing brew.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
12oz bottle poured into a shaker. Pours a lightly cloudy gold with a half finger of white head. Aroma of skunky wheat and citrus. Light sour. Citrus notes with a strong wheat backbone. Light bodied with a thin yet somewhat sticky texture. Lively carbonation and a lingering citrus finish. Overall, pretty good. I’m not usually a fan of spring beers but this one is drinkable.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
On draft in a pub somewhere in Glasgow, UK. Slightly hazy yellow/orange colored, white head. Very fruity, mainly orange, wheat. Reasonably well-bodied. Not very complex, but refreshing.

grass, citrus, leaves, pale, clear, minimal head, lightly sour, salty, light body, thin feel, lively carbonation, abrupt finish
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Lemon and orange scents along with grass and mild grapefruit. Very clear deep yellow color. Doesn’t really seem like a wheat. Thin bodied. The flavors come across as artificial. Very sweet. Finish leaves you with a hint of biscuit or bready flavors. Okay brew could use some tweaking.
1.5 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
Bottle. I needed these Blue moons for the ratings. EH. thin , watery , barely a wheat beer.
2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 6/20
Golden pour, white head. Aroma holds lemon, orange, other citrus, wheat, Flavor holds a touch of caramel, orange peel, and grain. Light body. okay beer
2.2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
12 oz bottle
Aroma: skunk that rolled in some orange/lime mix. The bitter taste overpowers completely the silk/smooth of normal wear beer. Too floral, bitter and still leave an alcohol flavour going through. It’s too insipid. Maybe too girly? Not sure, what’s with it, but I did not enjoy too much, I did not finish the bottle.
