Slightly hazy orange with quickly dissipating head. Sweet aroma, but also a bit of hoppy bite lurking. Taste is muted tartness, high-quality cardboard, and is fairly watery. Mild bitter/sour aftertaste.

12oz bottle-pours a white head and hazy gold color. Aroma is wheat, sweet grain, perfumy, some lemon. Taste is wheat, sweet grain, perfumy/metallic/some lemon-hops. Fizzy effervescence.

This beer rocks. It’s a little on the thin side. It’s not hopped way up. It’s not very malty. It’s just a really good, light summer brew with a touch of honey in the otherwise crisp finish. Quite possibly the USA’s best lawnmower beer... with the exception of DogFish Head’s Lawnmower Light.

Bottle. Poured a clear amber with a large frothy white head that mostly lasted with fair lacing. Light sweet citrus aroma. Light body with soft carbonation. Light sweet citrus flavor with a light bittersweet finish. Drinkable brew that was worth trying once.

12oz bottle labeled best by the end of November. Poured a medium and hazy yellow color with a larger sized white head. Some small floaters. Aromas of yeast, lemons, and some wheat. Tastes of lemons, wheat, light yeast, and a touch of a honey sweetness to it. Thinner and somewhat lively body.

Lightly sweet and golden with some citrus flavor and spice. Refreshing, but thin. Still a good American wheat.

12-oz. bottle courtesy of Ernest. Pours deep gold with orange hints, a medium to small frothy white head, somewhat diminishing, lined lacing. Aroma is honey and grainy malt, sweaty yeast and sweet warm dough. Mild sweet to start, honey and crisp malt flavor, medium bitterness, a citrus touch, finish is sort of dry. Light bodied, lively mouth foam that creates some creaminess. This would be exponentially better if I were outside sweating my ass off.

A hoppy wheat beer. Some taste but rather ordinary. On-tap at the brewery. A bit of tastness, drinkable summer beer but bland.

Pours a copper color with a decent off white head. Smells of wheat, lemons, hay, fresh cut grass. Tastes of lemons and chewable vitamins.
