Pale gold, lots of carbonation. Great, refreshing flavor of wheat and hints of spice and citrus to add some tingle. My favorite beers are hefeweizens, and as this is a close derivative, I really embraced it.

Pours hazy/cloudy deep light yellow with a quick fizzy white head. Has a pleasing aroma of spices like coriander and cinnamon, with hints of orange peel. The flavor is somewhat strong of spices like cinnamon and coriander with hints of oranges and wheat. The feel is a little watery with a somewhat sour and a little sweet taste. Kind of refreshing and crisp. Better than blue moons belgian white.

Pours a stable head of pure white. Color is light golden with a cloudiness that persists through drinking. Aroma is dominated by notes of citrus which is matched in the tasting. Very light mouthfeel with pleasant carbonation. Almost no bitterness at all. Very pleasant, refreshing beer. A good witbier.

If poured patiently develops a nice white head that lingers. Smells of citrus and coriander. Tastes smooth with mild citrus and banana-like mild sweetness and a short finish. Great thirst quencher.

Draft-New Orleans. Shallow but stable white head. Nose had some clove and spicy fruit. Poured a cloudy straw yellow. Tasted some banana. Finished a bit tart which was perfect for this sweet beer. Very refereshing.

Very pale yellow pour with thin foamy white head. Aroma is citrus and coriander. Tastes of citrus malt and spices (mild clove and coriander); mildly bitter finish.

12oz bottle: Pours a pale yellow color with a bright white head. Faint lemon-grassy smell. Nice light, thin body. Very mild initial taste give way to a slight zesty finish. This is probably a better representation of the style than several others I like better, but definitely one of the most refreshing beers I’ve had.
