12 oz bottle. Pours a pale cloudy yellow with a medium lasting head. It has a pleasant citrus aroma. This is a very complex and wonderful tasting beer. It tastes of citrus, flowers, bread, coriander and a little pear.

Light yellow hazy pour. fruity esters and slight funk. Initial light bite and followed by a thirst quenching body. Citrus, cherries and floral flavors in the body. Nice after being outside for a few hours.

At tap in Rimini. Pale yellow colour with white head. Really fresh flavour of plums, citrus and flowers, roses in particular. Spicy, fruity taste with no bitterness. Very refreshing, ideal for roasted fish and summer in general.

on Tap Lis Doon Varna Peoria, AZ: Smelled fruity, sour and spicy with minimal head. Served with orange slice (I removed). Taste was spicy (corriander) and citrusy. Nice medium mouth feel. Not as sweet as I expeced, but very good.

(Draught at Akkurat, Stockholm, 3 July 2009) Cloudy yellow colour with frothy, white head. Wheaty, fruity nose with notes of wheat flour, citrus and coriander. Fruity, wheaty taste with white bread, dough and spicy hints of coriander and citrus. Rather light body, not overly sweet. It has lost some character over the years, but it’s still tasy and refreshing.

Very light like hazy white grapefruit, with a nice white head. Presented a very unique flavor combination of orange and zucchini, followed by nothing, no aftertaste. Made for an insanely drinkable beer, out on the deck, talking and soaking in the sun.

Drank from bottle in Luxembourg. This is pretty good for a widely available beer. Its light and you can drink a lot, not something i’d start the night with, but definetly have and will finish the night with it.

Bottle, pretty much everywhere. Never been a fan of wheat beers but have had a Damascene conversion. Pours a cloudy, pale yellow with an initially frothy head that thins out but stays the distance. Aroma is lemon, sour apple, yeast and a touch of clove/cinnamon spice. Bubblegum/banana flavour with pepper and flowery touches. Pleasantly light palate, ideal for summer. I wish I’d been able to enjoy this before InBev got their grubby mitts on the brand.
