| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 23, 2008 Poured a hazy light orange color with a white head. Aroma was of some zesty wheat, light lemon and some citrus hops. Flavor was a bit disappointing considering the taste very bland and not comparable to gumball head like i was told. moelikebeer (220), St. Paul, Minnesota, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 22, 2008 Bottle, shared by Badgerben. Very clear pour. Looks more like a lager. Light aroma of herbal hops. Very light hop flavor. Not bad, just not much going on. badgerben (3610), Blaine, Minnesota, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 18, 2008 Gold color with a thin head. Light wheat and citrus aroma. Very grainy and a little astringency in the taste. Quite a light hopping, and a bit floral towards the end. sstackho (249), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Aug 17, 2008 Six 12oz bottles for $10 from Bauer Wines in Boston. Pours a clear, pale yellow with a bit of head. The appearance may be pedestrian, but the aroma most certainly is not. Hops, hops, hops. Nice. First sip is a letdown compared to that nose. First taste is a metallic taste that is bitter but not hoppy. That metallic taste remains throughout the beer, and is a serious problem. So disappointing after that wonderful aroma.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Aug 12, 2008 My fiftieth rating from the state of New York. Bottle. Sweet wheat nose, citrus (lime, lemon) and floral hops with honey and lemongrass, just a touch of fruit in for zazz (apricot). Golden pour with an excitable, large soapy beige head. Taste is astringently dry, and lastingly so, with a strong overtone of wheat and lesser notes of avocado and tequila. Slightly grainy, maybe some passionfruit. Medium body seems a tad lighter. Smooth and refreshing. Lightly tart, no sign of alcohol. Have to admit, though I’m not a fan, this takes the style into a whole new, sunny realm. And it would go well with a ton of different foods - recommended. kieleszd (83), Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 6, 2008 Carries a subtle but appealing hoppy note. Reveals itself blonde with a hint of orange and fizz. It taste of peaches, wheat and hops. Its palate soars as an IPA then weakens wheat. The beer cannot decide what it is, but it accepts its destiny and so shall you. KawaBomber (213), New Jersey, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Aug 4, 2008 12oz Bottle: Clear golden body w/ a small eggshell white head that disappears fast. Hoppy aroma w/ a hint of wheat & a slight maltiness. Very mild flavor, virtually none of the hops in the aroma are present in the flavor. Some caramel malts come through w/ a grainy taste towards the finish. Palate is very thin & watery. Bland & boring brew...I expect more from Southern Tier, I guess they can’t all be winners. jake65 (1760), Williston, North Dakota, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 3, 2008 Clear golden pour with a smaller white head. Smells like peanut butter and honey! A bit malty, but that sweet and nutty aroma really caught my attention. Tastes malty with a sweet honey and oats/wheat. Creamy mouthful. Different and fun. Thanks BuckeyeBoy.
