Bottle. Pours a yellow with a little white head. Smells of wheat, citrus and malt. Taste is the same, wheat, citrus, and a hint of orange. This is definately a summer beer. Very light easy drinking beer.

Bottle: Visions of light golden effervescense, nose is light wheat, some malt, flavor is light also, some wheat, malt and yeast... an easy drinking quaffer, a decent upgrade from the macro lagers, won’t blindside a newbie.

A delicious and very refreshing wheat ale. Aroma was so so. Grass with a hint of light malt. Pour was a nice light gold with a one finger white head. Taste was a nice mix of tartness and a hint of citrus. The strong carbonation overpowers the beer in a good way and makes the beer great in hot weather.

Medium gold body with a bright white head. the aroma is light cream of wheat with hints of lemon drops. The taste is bananas with lots of clove spice in the finish. This has more character thanI was expecting. A relatively thick and sticky mouthfeel, surprising as this is a filtered wheat brew. Decent.
