Pailhead (3859) - Brownstown, Michigan, USA - APR 14, 2013
Bottle: The aroma consists of light wheat, bread, citrus, and a hint of orange peel. It pours a hazy dull yellow with a one finger white head that is somewhat fizzy and fades rather quickly to a thin film outlined by a slightly thicker ring. There is minimal lacing left behind. The flavor starts with light wheat and bready notes. The finish has some light orange, faint lemon, and a touch of spice. It’s light-medium bodied with somewhat fizzy carbonation. Overall, it’s not bad...just a little on the bland side. It could work okay as a thirst quenching summer beer.

umich03jm (912) - Allen Park, Michigan, USA - APR 7, 2013
Bottle. Pours a very cloudy light yellow color with a small foamy head that lingers a bit. Aroma is lemons, oranges, bread, and spices. Taste is better than I expected. Very bready and wheaty but there’s a very nice orange and lemon citrus taste too. Spicy finish. Fairly thick mouthfeel, almost chewy. Solid wheat beer.

Tmoney99 (8789) - Cincinnati, Ohio, USA - AUG 6, 2011
Draft sample at MBGSF 2011. Poured hazy amber color with an average frothy white head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Moderate wheat citrus aroma. Light to medium body with a sticky texture and soft carbonation. Medium citrus sweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. Soft sweet summer beer.

Onslow (928) - Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA - JUL 20, 2010
Pour from a 12 oz bottle. First glass without a lemon slice, glasses two and three with one. Rating based on glass with lemon slice. Brew is a hazy light yellow with a nice, fine bubbled, white head and average head retention. Aroma of bitter wheat, light spices, and yeast. Without the lemon taste was wheaty with a somewhat off balance bitter finish. Lemon really balances the flavor and creates a finely balanced brew, wheaty body with a nice crisp but lingering bitter bite in the finish. Very satisfying mouthfeel. A very good wheat ale.

Panzuriel (1183) - Westerville, Ohio, USA - OCT 30, 2009
clear golden yellow liquid with a nice head of white bubbles and good carbonation. Nice wheat aroma with a good hint of citrus. taste is clean, refreshing, thin reedy and a bit citrus. Body is thinner without apparent carbonation. Finishes clean. A great summer quaff.
