16.9oz bottle, thanks to Mike L. Shared with the local group. Mostly clear bright golden color. Thin off-white head, kind of bubbly. Dots of lace. Nice citrus peel nose. Medium to lighter body. Smooth, lighter carbonation, more dry finish. Bready-wheaty malts. Light pepper spice. Lightly sweet, zesty taste. Good, refreshing wheat beer..

16.9 oz bottle to snifter (thanks DrSilverworm). Looks solid; a transparent gold with thin white lacing. Smells solid too; wheat, lemongrass, orange zest, and coriander. Tastes like it smells with a decent mouthfeel. A good wheat beer.

UPDATED: MAR 16, 2013 Sinlge 499 mL bottle purchased from Leary’s for $3.30. To pint it pours a hazy light yellow with a trim snowy white head. Aromas of salted butter, German yeast, wheat bread, and some brief plastic. Tastes of wheat, cloves, tangerine peels, yeast, and tin.And as markwise said, lemony finish. Decent for the style.

500mL bottle courtesy of radarsock. Pours a very hazy yellow with a white head that recedes with time. Nose is sweet lemon, lemon peel, some lemongrass, light coriander, and some light spice. Flavor follows with mega sweet citrus: lemon and lemon peel with lemon grass and some light yeasty notes. Light to medium in body with lingering lemon in the finish.

500ml bottle from the lu...thanks buddy... pours a pale hay lagerish yellow brown hue and topped with a thin soapy film of white head... grassy sweet grain german malt base, clean with some sweet citrus notes throughout. crisp and to the point... flavors are more of the same with citrus, pale grain borderlining on sweet, with a light grassy finish. some residual sweetness lasting well into the finish where a more dry crisp clean, lightly bitter finish would have been preferred here. a bit of floral and spice coming through late. lighter bodied with somewhat of a lacking finish, a little flabby actually. that being said, just ok. least favorite offering of theirs to date.

Gold pour, white head. Nice crisp lager here. Some grainy notes, light hops, caramel. Flavor is smooth and really easy to drink. Pretty well balanced, sessionable.

500ml bottle in a lager glass. Pours light golden with an off-white head. Aroma of wheat, pale and caramel malts, and floral hops. Flavor the same, with a good amount of wheat. Average to light texture. A decent lager.

Bottle late night after the VIP session at Hill Farmstead’s Harvest Festival. Pours a clear yellow gold with a thin white head. Grain lager yeast, toast on the nose. More grain, toast, soft caramel. Grain, toast. Lager notes through the finish.

Bottle from Julio’s. Looks like a Coors Light in my pint glass, sizable retention from a vigorous pour. Nose smells much like a Macro lager. Thank god it tastes much better. Wheat malt and a touch of orange peel is there in the finish. The mouthfeel is lively from the carbonation. Not nearly as good as the the pervious lager I just sampled from Jacks. This is ok for somebody who likes light beers or is just starting in craft beer. 

fresh bottle. aroma of clean dusty, cobweb wheat. musty fog. taste is grass, orangepeel, slight vegetal note. lightly floral. crisp, refreshing. dry. nice summer beer.
