2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20Crisp and light. Nothing really outstanding about it, but refreshing on a hot day.
2.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Typical earthy, dirty, lemon-zest aroma of a wheat. Also some artificial Fruity Pebbles in there. Pours clear pee-yellow with an average head but good lacing and retention. Tastes like...not much. Tonic water with straw, maybe. A little tartness at the end, but this just is wimpy. Debated a little - not super-offensive - but decided on a drainpour. I think I’d only drink this if desperate and really thirsty.

I had this at Global Brew. It smells better than it taste. I thought this was good. I could drink this again.

Golden with a white head and a citrusy nose. Mildly-carbonated with a light mouthfeel and a finish consisting of lemony bitterness and green apple.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
12 oz bottle from the 2002 revival folly pack. Pours a straw yellow with a thin white ring. Smells like fruit loops. Sweet, citrus, and cereal. Taste very light and crisp. Sweet malts with a zap of coriander. Definitely getting the peel of an orange on the finish. Not really my kind of beer, but I am no average LADY. So sipping something so fruity isn’t my style.

Pours a pale straw color with thick white head. Wheat and yeast aromas. Wheat, citrus and coriander flavors. Very light and refreshing.

bland, but decent...

Poured straw pale clear color, almost green, with one finger of khaki white head. Some spots of lacing on the sides, albeit light. Average retention on the top.
Pleasant smell to kick things off with orange, orange rind, coriander, lemon, lime zest and wheat grass, all with noted Belgian spices.
Tasted not quite as good as the smell. Still got coriander, orange peel, orange, lime, lemon, wheat grass and sugary cereal. Still some Belgian spices. Not as clean and crisp it.
Light body. Thin texture. Average-to-lively carbonation. Abrupt finish.
This beer didn’t grow on me. In fact, it was the opposite. I suppose it would be a good summer brew though.

Loved this beer all through college and still love it now. Great for those Colorado summers
1.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
An effervescent, carbonated, citrus lacquered wheat ale that puffs out its chest with coriander (nobody can ever get enough of that stuff, right?). Yeah, this is boring, uninspired, cloying and lacking complexity and originality. Sweet story behind it’s inception though.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
On-tap in Colorado. Pours a clear, bright yellow with a foamy white head. Aroma is some citrus and hefe-style yeast. Taste follows suit; very refreshing with some complexity coming from the yeast; virtually no hops here. Very light and refreshing. This is the epitome of what a summer beer should be, in my opinion.
