12 oz bottle pours a hazy golden color with a nice white head. Aromas of bread, spice, wheat. Light bodied, a nice summer beer

12 Fl. Oz. Bottle from Dover Liquor Depot "Craft Beer Fest." Tasting. Pours a hazy dark gold with about a half finger of white head.Some fruit and spice in the aroma combined with wheat and yeast. Taste is citrus, lemon and fruity spices, some light grassy notes. Overall a very nice crisp and refreshing.

Bottle courtesy of AirForceHops. Musty lemon and wheat malt aroma. Slightly hazed straw gold with a large white head. Musty bready wheat malt and bitter herbal flavor. Medium body, average carbonation. Doesn’t quite come together for me.

Draft at Proof. Pale golden pour with a thin white head. Grassy, wheaty aroma with light touches of pine. Crisp palate, muted flavors and kind of dull. I guess you can just pound these really easy.

Light and crisp. Nice aroma. The chamomile is well represented. Not much of an aftertaste. Overall a decent weizen.

Pours a clear golden yellow on tap with bubbly white head that spots lightly. Aroma of wheat and lemon, slight grass, all very faint. Taste is pretty much jut the wheat, really thin on the mouth. Why do summer beers have to suck so much?

Bottle. Pours a slightly hazy straw yellow body with a small fizzy white head that left some nice lacing. The nose is lightly floral with some light wheat and a little breadiness. The flavor is rather delicate with some floral chamomile notes overlaying the light wheat malt base. Not much influence from the yeast at all in this one. A bit of spiciness on the finish. Light bodied and fizzy with prickly carbonation. Not bad, but rather simple and uninspiring.

Aromas of toast, flora, and lemon peel. Clear gold with a mostly lasting, bubbly, white head. Dry, biscuity, and bitter. Light bodied with lively carbonation, very refreshing, and with floral and zippy, citrusy notes.

Pours hazy lemon yellow with a finger’s worth of foam that fell fast but left good lace. Nose is Belgian. Sweet bread, lemon with a hint of sour, spice and wheat. It’s a calm nose with good yeast. Taste is very complex. Bread, cracker and full, but smooth and mild. Ample carbonation but thin body. Drinks a little heavy but clean and crisp. The chamomile is just lightly on top, combining with the faintly floral hops and meets the malt right where it would get sweet but doesn’t. The lemon and the wheat come together so closely that you are tempted to think that you can’t taste the lemon but your mouth does water. Finishes dry with a touch of bitter and the malt lingers too in the finish. I liked it.

12oz bottle. Pours a hazy golden color with a nice fluffy white head. Aromas of lemon, honey, and wheat. Taste is similar to the nose. Lemon, wheat, and some earthy bitterness.
