Couleur de miel, voilée. Mousse correcte. Nez fruité et sucré, avec des traces de limonade sucrée, de jus d’orange. En bouche, c’est frais et fruité. Le goût de la blanche et du blé, et de la levure, est tassé pas les flaveurs sucrées de jus d’agrumes (mangues, oranges) ; très rafraîchissant, certes. Mais je crois bien que je me tannerais à la longue, car c’est un tantinet trop sucré... Cheers!

First of all, bonus appearance point for the snazzy blue bottle. Cloudy yellow, thin white head. Smells like blueberry and banana, with some subtle spicy notes. Flavor is fruity, with decent spicy and some soft wheat character. I was surprised how much I enjoyed this.

On tap at Pub Italia. Pours a full, glowing canary yellow with medium white head. Delightful aroma of lemon and perfume. Slight floral potpourri presence. Flavor has a flowery, soft perfume presence with orange peel and wheat. Full wheat body with cheerios and perfume finish. I don’t care that this is mass produced... I thought this was great! Great springtime beer.

February 2013. Sampled at a tasting. Clove, malt and yeast aromas. Poured pale yellow with a white head. Banana, hay and orange zest flavors. Not bad for a mass produced beer.

eh, not bad but still kinda watery and weak. a pretty bland wit if ever there was one. not a repeat drinker.

Good beer, expected it to crystal clear in colour when I poured it into a pint. Good beer nonetheless!

Artificial, artificial, artificial! Everything about this beer feels fake, fake lemon and wheat on the nose. Fake lemon tartness and flavors. It is not bad per se, just not targeted at a Ratebeer kind of audience. It is better than most macrobrews in a sense, which is good. There is some kind of head and some lacing, good. But all the artificial flavors make it a "once in the summer" kind of deal (at social events where there is no real beers being served of course). It’s really quaffable and refreshing, just not complex or something I would crave.

Very interesting complex brew. Light with a hazy yellow color. Foamy head and a zest of lemon and other tropical fruits with a wheat brew taste as well. Worth a try in the summer months.

500 ml on tap @ Palace Bar,Oslo.April 13,2013 Served in a Kroenbourg glass Cloudy and yellowish in color Aroma is all sorts of citrus and some yeast Very sweet in taste and little else. Difficult to take this beer serious and it reminds me of alcopops.
