Bottle: Malty and sweet, some hops traces. Drinkable but nothing out of this world.

Chewy flavor of wet cardboard and rubber. Thin mouth feel, light body. Looks good but doesn’t have much else going for it. No need to revisit.

This is one of my favorite of the SA seasonal offerings, second only to the Octoberfest. It’s very smooth and tastes so good. No after taste.

Had this as part of a gift/assortment pack. Very fruity, as expected, and for a wheat beer, which I’m not a big fan, it was acceptable. Probably would not select on my own accord.

Bottle. Reallty intense redbrown color. Aroma is a bit fruity with some nutty notes also. Flavor is malty with some caramel and fruity notes with a sweet finish.
