So-so, though I have to say I am surprised by the low rating. For a non-wheat beer drinking beer drinking guy I thought this beer wasn’t that bad, so I rated with a 30-day grace period. Pours very bright yellow without much sediment at all, and the flavors are bready and citrusy.

Jul 26, 2008 An average wheat ale with barely any citrus to speak of. Light bodied, crisp and clean. Easy drinker.

Jul 22, 2008 Hazy, casually bubbly lemony body that intensifies up the glass... white head swiftly, disappointingly settles to a rather thin line... lemon zest and light yeast are dominant scents; a bit of hay and pilsner-like malt... slightly fizzy on the teeth and tongue, with little substance or character--not insulting, just not memorable... fresh, light yeasts--a bit watered down--with the late flavor of lemon the only recognizable presence... knowing Harpoon’s reputation, this is a bit of a surprise, not pushing or presenting any facet of the genre into an upper echelon of enjoyability.... still, quite drinkable on 95-degree days such as this, and the lack of weight is at least appropriate this afternoon...

Jul 22, 2008 Bottle. Aroma primarily wheat. Some sweet fruitiness in the mouth, particularly banana, some lemon. Basic, boring.

Jul 20, 2008 Bottle. Pours a cloudy gold/yellow with a small white head. Aroma of wheat, spices (clove), and yeast. Flavor of initial spices and lots of carbonation, some wheat. Not much flavor and no difference in the aroma/flavor notes. Pretty basic and boring.

Jul 19, 2008 Bottle. Hazy light yellow with a big white head. Aroma is light yeast and some fruit. Flavor is tart, lemony, with some citrus. Not the best wheat ale.
