reebtogi (2169) - Edmonton, Alberta, CANADA - MAY 16, 2012
500ml bottle from LCBO in Thunder Bay, ON. Pours a pale golden orange color with a small white head that leaves very little lacing behind. Aromas are light malts, citrus and other light fruits. Taste is malty sweetness balanced nicely with the citrusy hops and other fruits. Light bodied with soft carbonation. An easy drinking brew that would go down smoothly on a hot summer evening.

Sizzler80 (142) - Dublin, IRELAND - MAY 8, 2012
A decent middle of the road beer. Refreshing and easy to drink. There is certainly better available in Ireland, however I could enjoy a few pints or bottles of Curim quite easily.

UDBeernut (464) - Saugerties, New York, USA - APR 5, 2012
Bottle from coldbrewky via john. Pours light golden amber small head with good retention. Peach and light citrus in nose. Cloying sweetness in taste, light pit fruit. Not much body. Ho hum.

dantheman278 (975) - SCOTLAND - FEB 21, 2012
Bottle at home, thanks Stephanos! Golden orange, thin white head fades to almost nothing. Caramel, wheat, slight spicy hop nose. Fizzy sweet front, caramel malts, hint of wheat characteristic, estery sweet finish. Refreshing and drinkable.

Jacob23_5 (110) - Edinburgh, SCOTLAND - FEB 21, 2012
Bottle. Pours clear yellow-gold with quickly fading thin white head. Aromas of pine, caramel, quite bready, Tastes a bit more floral and bitter, little watery. Touch over-fizzy, but perfectly drinkable and possibly harshly rated, in my humble opinion.

Stephanos (863) - NORTHERN IRELAND - FEB 17, 2012
Bottle from The drink store@ Home Clear blonde with fluffy white head. Apricots and slight pepper on the nose. Creamy texture with fresh cut grass, a minimum hop bitterness and a crisp finish.

Dorwart (2160) - Robbinsville, New Jersey, USA - FEB 12, 2012
A thin head of bright white foam that does dissipates quickly. Quite the interesting aroma with some cereal grains, french fries, apples and honey. Color is a bright gold. Flavors of toast, dry wheat, more honey and some lemon grass. Zippy carbonation in the mouth. Finishes dry and lemony with a bit of lingering bitterness. Something a bit unsettling in the stomach about this brew. Purchased and sampled in Ireland.

suprchunk (1059) - Heinsberg, GERMANY - OCT 26, 2011
Pale fizzy yellow pour. Slight white head when forcefully forced. No lacing. Diacetyl aroma. That is about it. Looks and smells kind of like a lager. Dry, and overly sweet. Carbonic bite. Not good, but not bad. Would be an average drinker as it’s not insulting. Except in the way that it is not a wheat beer.

culchiem (1017) - Berlin, GERMANY - OCT 23, 2011
Bottle. Medium orange with a short lasting white head. Aroma of fruit, wheat and some toffee. Flavour is light wheat with a medium level of carbonation.
