Was on tap half off night. Smelled good and tasted sweet with citrus. My favorite Harpers beer of the ones I have tasted. I liked it. Helped that the Spartans beat Purdue.

Pours a hazy yellow color with a thin white head. Aroma of lemon. Boring flavor of lemon with a weird aftertaste. The body is light with a creamy texture and the carbonation is soft.

On tap at Harpers. Bright orange-yellow body, thin off-white head. Light, sweet aroma with notes of wet hay. Bready and fruity, no banana or clove character. Sweeter than most American Wheats, and quite lemony (echoing other sentiments here). Thin-medium body, tight carbonation.

Very light tasting wheat beer. Tasted more like lemonaide than a beer. Good for a casual beer drinker, but not for a seasoned taster. Boring beer.

Slightly better than its dirty sister, Hapers Raspberry Wheat, but that isnt saying much. These guys should just close up shop and stick to serving Busch like every other bar in EL does. Terrible. It looks halfway decent, but once the scourge hits your tongue, you are taken aback. Nothing to it, unispired effort is all I have to say.
