Bottle. Pours cloudy pale yellow with a big fizzy white head. Aroma is lemon, hint of coriander. Flavor is citrus zest, crisp wheat body, and a spicy, somewhat bitter and balancing coriander on the finish. Yeast is somewhat understated for the style, and the mouthfeel is a bit watery at times. Refreshing and light, good beer but only average within the style.

Brownish-whitish colors mix with some yeasty floaties and a puffy white head. Yeast and lemon zest nose, citrusy. Taste is tart and potent wit taste, spices, coriander help the carbonation bite the tongue with a dryness. While I still think Blue Moon is severely underrated in this category, this is definitely one of the top contenders.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy light golden yellow with a large, pillowy, white head that fades kind of fast. Taste is of citrus, wheat and yeast. Kind of sweet tasting. Aroma is much the same, but not as profound. Not a bad beer to have on a hot day, as it is easy to drink and pretty refreshing. I wish it had a higher alcohol content though.

A very yellow and citrus/sweet beer. Just not my type of beer. I’ve heard good things about it, and I’m sure it’s good for it’s style of beer, but not my type. Nice looking bottle though.

Bottle, nice crispy yellow. Flavor has citrus and wheat, in a small compact package. Nice bitter finish, flavor isnt really my cup of tea.

Bottle - from the Bruno’s grocery store on the corner of Hwy 150 and Shades Crest. At first taste, I was like, "WHOAH, yum!" Much better than Natural Ice, but then again, so is dog urine - just kidding - seriously, this is some wonderful stuff!
