3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle from South Bay Drugs: Poured as a hazy liquid that was glowing a golden yellow hue and oddly enough didn’t create much foam at all. As for the aroma, there was a decent touch of honey and hops with a strong soapy scent in the background. The flavor is light and has a minimum of coriander and traces of zesty yeast that sort of taste like lemon and grass. This was an alright summer brew, but I would only plan on buying this maybe once every summer just to remember how it tasted because it doesn’t leave a big impression. I prefer a Kolsch style of beer on a hot summer day more than anything else.

Pours a thicky yellow smoke body with a lathery white wheat head. Nose of endless acres of smooth, crackling wheatfields. Malty and wheaty body with the presence of stale crackers. Refreshing, medium-bodied and with the barest perception of banana phenols and cereal grain. A complex and satisfying American-influenced wheat ale.

Bottle. Aroma is wonderful - has saison-like pungency of ripe fruit, mild herbal hops. Flavor is lightly sweet round bready malt with just a hint of acidic sour. Finish has lingering malt sugars and light bitterness. A phenomenal wheat ale.

Bottle pours hazy yellow with a white to off-white head. Aroma is wheat, banana, mango, vanilla, and a small amount of lemon. Flavor shows the same. Overall body is moderate weight with a creamy soft mouthfeel and lightly bitter finish. Pretty interesting.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Got a ton of tropical flavors accompanying the traditional banana and wheat. Papaya, mango and guava all there...rising out of a murky golden tangerine body with a 1/2 inch eggshell head. Virtually glowed. Nice mouthfeel...coating without being cloying. Actually a solid summer brew.

12oz bottle from BevMo. Hazy, pale yellow pour with a frothy white head, spotty lacing. Nice nose of pineapple, mango and Belgian spices. A very tasty and refreshing summer brew.
