bottle, golden yellow pour with some wispy foam, aroma and flavor holds neither wheat nor hops, pretty straightforward lager

Peanuts corriander and wheat on the nose. I dony get any cascade hops but it says theyre there. I guess there is a generic hop aroma there somewhere. Hazy orange pour whispy light foam islands here and there i guess. Flavors of wheat peanuts corriander. Light hop generic bitterness very light i guess there might be a touch of citrus. Who the fuck knows but im ticking this bad ass beer! Boom!

On tap @ Seahawks stadium in Seattle. Very hazy, dirty orange appearance. Aroma is sweet citrus and wheat, more like Blue Moon than anything. Palate is sweet and wheaty with orange and spice, but no bitterness whatsoever. This is not an IPA by any standards.

Bottle. Poured into an orange brew with an initially pillowy head that settles into a fine mist. It drinks with a subtle buttery edge, any hint of "citrus peels and coriander" is buried within a smooth wheaty ale with an odd caramel kick. If you’re gonna make up a style, you gotta bring it better than this! (#4580, 5/2/2012)

I felt like we had a chance to get a decent IPA from one of the big boys. The body is a light copper amber brew with a long lasting off white head. The nose is sweet and fruity with lemons, soap and a hint of coriander. The taste is sweet up front with a bread like finish. Not a whole lot going on. Just a slight hint of lemon peels and coriander spice. How is this an IPA? At best, it is a wit with just a tiny bit more malt body and a little hint of caramel. Sugary sweet in the aftertaste. I don’t really find much in the way of hops. Calling this an IPA is a scam, but it worked on me....once.

2/27/12. 12oz bottle. Slightly hazed orange pour with a small khaki head that fades and laces a bit. I really wanted to like this, I really did, but alas, it’s awful, and nowhere close to an IPA. Muted aroma of citrus and spice, moreso from the base than the hops, I’d say. Sweet and slightly tangy wheat malt flavor with a touch of citrus and creaminess. Not an IPA and barely a wheat beer... this is miserable. Why oh why did I give it a chance?

Clear amber color with fizzy white head. Coriander, citrus lemon, pale wheat aromas. medium body. Tart citrus, coriander, caramel flavors--missed the hops here--decent enough though.

Bottle. Pours hazy orange with an off white head. Wheaty aroma with light citric notes. The flavor has a wheaty base with a low hoppy bitterness and just a hint of citrus. Not awful.

This bottled brew from a grocery store poured a head of bubbles that were and left behind a strongly carbonated very hazy dark orange colored body and a good lacing. The deep aroma was hoppy and wheat. The mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish. The flavor contained notes of wheat breads and hops. A decent one that I would consider buying again.

single from HeB .. Pours a basic amber with a smudge of ruby .. low foam .. no lacing .. . some old wheat and a raspberry like sweetness .. . how can something with cascades be so bad .. . horrid .. . . Richard Simmons was an astronaut!
