It is slightly above the bar for American Wheats with a sweeter palate yet fails to achieve the quality of German wheats by a long shot.

12oz bottle-pours a foamy dissipating white head and yellow color. Aroma is ?, secondary wheat/husky. Then I figured out the ?. vomit. As the smell dissipates the secondary smells come though. Taste is a nice improvement from aroma, although its average to my taste. Taste is grain/light malt/wheat, faint (tettnang?) continental hops, slight lemon at finish. Semi dry, mild carbonation. 2.6 OK, had this again, a decent wheat. 3.1

A little disappointing. Didn’t taste the traditional orange or coriander with this wheat beer. Kind of boring. Not bad, but extremely mediocre.

Bottle: Poured a hazy orange with a thin white head. Aroma is light citrus and wheat. Taste is tangy with citrus and carbonation.

Bottle. Better for a wheat beer. Very smooth. Tastes kind of wated down. Smells like citrus and grass. Pours a straw yellow with a hazy hue.
