This is one of my favorite wheat beers to drink. Not too bland with small notes of citrus and a slight creamy texture. I keep it stocked in the fridge because even my non-beer drinking friends like this.

22oz bottle. Golden pour, thin white head, and cascading bubbles. Aroma of malted wheat and citrus. Huge flavor of wheat malt and just the right amount of citrus. Lively carbonation. Very flavorful. I’ve had a few wheat beers. One of my top rated styles. This is the best Wheat Beer of Georgia.

22oz bottle. hazy gold under a large, whipped, white head. aroma is standard, light, crisp, a bit lemony and tart. this is darn good regular old wheat ale. medium body, clean palate, creamy. flavor of cereal grain and citrusy tartness. tastes incredibly fresh. the palate is superb. on par with some of the best wheat ales out there. reminds me of oberon.

I had this when it first came out and wasnt as impressed, ie, I didnt order another. But I have been able to find it more readily and have ordered it several times, and it has changed. It has identified itself as an American (USA!) Wheat, to indicate I think that is not that crappy faux-belgian stuff tasing of bubble gum. It tastes of beer, but with the twist you expect from wheat. It is drinkable and I actually order more than one... or two.

Comes out of the tap a pretty, hazy solar yellow with a decent white head. Wheaty, lemony aroma is slightly sweet and not strong but still appealing. Flavor is wheaty, yeasty, lemony and quite pleasing. Smooth, subtly tingly texture leaves a wheaty and citrus finish.

Bomber poured into a pint glass. Pours a semi-murky gold with frothy white head. Aroma of fruit and wheat, with a bit of bubblegum. Taste was a bit sweet and bitter, with a crisp dry finish. Quenching and nice wheat beer, I could drink a couple of these!

The third of the three 22oz bottles from this new brewery. Pours a very hazy, bright yellow with a moderate fluffy white head that recedes fairly quikcly to a thin collar with little lacing. Aroma is sweet with lots of bananas and bubble gum sweetness. There is also a healthy lemon zest presence, but this one almost smells like a hefe. Taste is a bit more hoppy up front with lots of lemongrass and oranges but gives way quickly to the sweet wheat characteristics - fruity. Finish is a combination of the fruits, very slightly tart but also sweet. The mouthfeel is effervescent and well carbonated with a medium body. I’m impressed by this one and I think I may like this better than the other two, certainly more than the IPA. Well crafted wheat beer.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy orange color with a medium white head. A nice aroma of straw, some oranges and more grains. The flavor is very refreshing; sweet dry wheat, some honey and lemon, in fact this brew is tea-like. Very smooth and well carbonated.

Hazy copper pour with a very thin white head. Citrus and banana aroma. Flavor has a lot more banana and bubblegum with none of the citrus from the aroma. This one has a really nice body and has a smooth finish. A bit surprised, never heard of this brewer.

Sample at Decatur Beer Fest. Very champagne like texture with a dancing bubble carbonation. The wheat is faint and at a pleasant level to let a couple other flavors come through. Some bannana and a grassy hop profile round things out.
