This beer is light colored, sweet and malty smelling. It tastes grassy, with a bit of wheat, malty, maybe a bit of caramel. Good, not great.

Tap @ Pumphouse: Poured a copper color with an off-white head. Odd citrus smell almost like their other wheat beers. Same yeast maybe? I don’t know. Citrusy flavor with some toasty caramel malt. Mild bitterness on the finish. Light body.

clear copper, fine beige head, streaks of drippy lace, light sweet malt aroma with a hint of floral hops, sweet malt flavor, touch of candy sweetness, light earthy bitterness balances the sweetness and leaves a light bitter finish,
