Whole Foods, Bowery 12oz ($3): Pours a hazy yellow with a small white head. Aroma is pale malt, citrus hops, and some other plant life. Taste is slightly sweet, with a relatively low level of bitterness. Body is surprisingly satisfying and full, but easy to down. Some lemony tastes are there. Pretty nice session beer.

Orange brownish in color... Minimal malt aroma... Flavor is slightly bitter, notes of caramel malts, watery... Not terribly good

UPDATED: JAN 12, 2013 Grapefruit, tangerine. Hay. Pine. Light yellow-gold color, hazy, white head dissipates quickly. Looks like a headless hefe. Taste is lightly sweet, moderate hop bitter finish. Pine, grass, and bread. Light body. Smoothe and drinkable. Overall: this would be great to session -- wish I had friends and a six-pack. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
