3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20
UPDATED: MAY 12, 2003 Rerated. Kind of lemony, which I liked. Refreshing, although not overwhelmingly drinkable. Probably couldn't tolerate more than a few of these in one sitting.

UPDATED: JUN 21, 2003 Great semi-hazy golden in color, decent size white head that leaves sheets of lace in the glass, has a musty stale aroma of wheat and hay, light wheaty grainy flavors, watery and thin, fizzy and crisp mouthfeel, finishes crisp, a very average light ale.

Smells lemony-sweet, but the taste is anything but. A faint ting of lemon flavor, starts out malty with a tart after-taste. Milky-golden in color. A decent brew i don’t mind drinking, but too much coats the tongue and makes it hard to enjoy. Much better on tap in my opinion.

One of Sam Adams best in my opinion. Very drinkable, though there are better summer choices out there. Deep gold appearance with a medium to light body. Great coriander and lemon peel notes, even a little hoppy which was surprising. Probably a bit too spicy to really drink much of on a summer day.

Decent summer brew. Nothing too really get terribly excited about, as it isn’t much different from other American wheat beers. Granted, I prefer adding the lemon flavor myself, not having it in there from the beginning. A good beer, but it could have been better.

Re-Rate 07/02/02: Clear amber color, generous white head and decent lace. Nose is malt, hints of citrus, clean and fresh. Front is malt and lightly sweet, the top is light, the finish has a nice hop presence, dry, acidic and quite thirst quenching, a decent beer.
2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Nothing special. Tastes pretty much the same as every other summer brew I have had this year except not really as good. Not bad either. Could have used some more citrus or something. Nothing grabbed my attention.

UPDATED: AUG 24, 2006 The aroma was beery and musty and long lasting. The hint of lemon was hard to pick up on in both the inital flavor and the aftertaste. On the bottle it says inspired by the traditional Belgian White ales... if you call this an American Wheat, then it is pretty typical for the style. However, if you are going to call it a Belgian White, then it is sub-par.

Golden color, starts with a big head but it disapears fast. Has some hop flavor. This is the best ’summer’ beer I have tried

I drank a very memorable case of this stuff after giving up beer for two months (for a teaching job in the wilderness). A bit soberer now, I find its active flavors headed in the right citrusandspice direction, but pressing, a tad artificial, and quick to fade. Still, that one night in the cabin by the lake - my first beer in months - have to give up some points for the memory.
