gold murky pour with a thin layer of fizz up top. coriander and citrus notes. flavor is not much different than the smell besides the clove. not bad for a summer beer that’s easy to drink.

UPDATED: MAR 15, 2009 Pours cloudy deep golden with no head really. Theres nasty runny sediment thats pinkish orange. The aroma is light and sweet and fruity. The flavor is gross, sharp spritzy and tastes like a cheap leftover ingredient mass produced hefeweizen. It’s hard to get down and finish. I wonder if shiner even makes this beer or if it’s contracted out to someone else.
Re-rate 1-year later:
A cloudy yellow beer with a perfect super froth head. Aroma of wheat malt and citrus/lemon. Flavor is mild wheat malt, not very sweet, spritzy and a bit thick for a hefe. Finish is a little metallic. Very slight banana flavor, light lacing.

When this beer first came out, it tasted great! It was a very good wheat beer, very clean. But for the past couple of years, every time I drink this, it tastes kind of metalic to me, like the bottle top or something. What was a really great beer has become somewhat lackluster. Bring back my flavor!

Bottle. Pungent yeast nose, spice and wild sourness. Too clear for the style, but good head with lots of carbonation. Offensive copper taste stands out against a mostly bland flavor. Thin, but smooth except for the terrible flavor that makes it undrinkable.

Yellow straw like color with a good head. Cirtus and lemon aromas with some wheat. Taste is slight wheat and citrus mixed with the malts. Refreshing for sure.

12 ounce bottle. Poured a dark yellow color with a one finger width white head that disappeared quickly. The aroma was extremely citrusy with some wheat hints in the background. The initial taste was nothing exciting... a lot of malt and wheat. After the beer warmed I really started to taste the citrus hints. It was a refreshing beer, but nothing I would seek out again...

Pours light gold and hazy with an average head. Aromas of citrus and floral hops. Flavors are citrus and bread.

Pours a hazy golden color with white head that falls quickly. Smells of citrus with hints of floral aromatics. Taste is suprisingly tart. Finishes sour with medium body.
