cloudy orange, fine white head, scattered lace, aroma is a mixture of the orange slice the bartender insisted was needed plus some hops coming through, nicely hopped wheat malt flavor, touch of fruityness, nice balancing bitterness, the extra hops turn this from a hefe to a wheat pale ale

Tap @ Manayunk. Fairly hazy yellow with a white head and slice of orange. The aroma was hoppy with orange and earthy notes sitting on top of malt. The flavor was citrusy of grapefruit and wheaty character. Nice stiff long lasting bitterness on the finish.

Had this from a keg at a going away party for a friend who works at the brewery. Definite citrus elements. Not much wheat or yeast present, not unlike other American wheats I’ve tried. However, I found this very good overall.

On tap at the Manayunk Brew Pub. They served this one with a slice of lemon on the side of the glass (that was quickly placed far away from the beer). Poured a medium hazy yellow color with a white head. Nice citris aroma with very light hints wheat. Piney tastes. I liked this one.

Opaque golden body with white head. Aroma is medium sweet, pineapple, grapefruit, some pine. Taste is medium sweet, grapefruit, some lemon. Medium body. No wheat notes, but this beer works for what it is.
