Serve in Flute

Location: 12 oz bottle from Total Wine, I’m thinking this rating is from some time in 2007...

Overall Impression: Interesting flavor, a little too sweet for my liking, decent, but it’s certainly nothing to write home about.

On tap at the Peekskill Brewery. Pours a mostly clear yellow with a thin white head. Grain and wheat on the nose. Thin, mostly empty, but no big off flavors. Finishes clean, but still a bit grainy with a light citrus note.

(bottle from Weber St Liquor in Colorado Springs). POurs a hazy yellow color. Small white head. Pineapple and tropical fruit aroma. Light acidy sweetness. Short duration. Spare lacing. Slick texture. Moderate carbonation.

Bottle. Poured a lightly hazy yellow color with an inch thick white head that faded to a thin layer and left some light spots of lacing. Aroma is really dominated by passion fruit, there is hardly anything else present except for a hint of wheat. Sweet, moderately prickly entry with a bit of crisp wheat that quickly transitioned into a strong fruitiness with the presence of sweet passion fruit and tangerine that linger into the finish where some light wheat reappears. High, fizzy carbonation that probably doesn’t help nuances come to the forefront. Overall, too sweet and one-dimensional for me to really enjoy.

On tap at Coles. Why did I let my rep talk me into this? Pours a pale yellow. Aromas of tropical fruit, Kiwi? Taste was fruity with an almost chapagne fizziness. Hopefully the women like it or it might be on tap for a while

draft at gingerman poured a golden in color with a thin white head. aroma is mild on the fruit, sweetness, wheat, and citrus. mouth feel is light with medium carbonation. flavor has a bit more passion fruit, sweetness, citrus, and wheat. has a bit of extract but the overall picture is refreshing and fruity. nice summer brew.

12oz bottle. Crystal clear yellow/gold. Head is only a thin ring of white. Aroma is citrusy, obviously the passionfruit. It smells like pineapple, pear. Flavors are similar, with a touch of lemon butterness. A nice summer brew that is easy to drink, but a little like soda.

got this in Memphis I can’t believe it!.... Pours crystal clear which is odd for a wheat beer, gold in color, nice white head nice lighr fruit aroma, clean citrus flavor..very nice summer drinker...I could drink the crap out of this one! oh yeah this one was bottle on 5/28/09 very fresh..I don’t think this would taste as good with any age on it.
