Growler from Central Liquors. Pours bright yellow, solid white head leaves lacing. Nice light hop aroma balanced by wheat malt, lemony citrus but not overpowering. Refreshing summer ale, great for a hot day.

12 oz bottle. Pours a bright yellow with a foamy white head. Aroma of citrus and floral hops with some sweet malts. Taste is much of the same, lemongrass, grapefruit, and a touch of floral, some wheat, and sweet malts. Has a nice little spice to it as well. Very fresh and enjoyable. Taste like sunshine in a bottle!

Gold to amber in color. Nice nose of spicy citrus and pine hopping, somewhat dank, with orange and lemon zest and light, sweet malt. Flavor is a bit of a disappointment, with wet wheat malt, light soapy citrus hops, and a bit of plastic. Light crisp finish with light bitterness trailing. Good showing, nonetheless.

Pours like spun gold. Brilliant clarity. A pillowy head that fell lazy like a summer day to a thick cap and left all kinds of lace to look at. Nose is beer delight. Mild citrus, floral a little spice and a lightly breaddy malt. Pale malt has hints of sweetness, wheat is tall. Light pine, lemongrass and a touch of earth. Looks like sunshine in the glass and smells like it too. The lemon really comes forward sweetly as the beer warms. Taste is light, crisp and clean. Fruity lemon, grass, refreshing wheat, a little tangy. Has a fine bitter that doesn’t overwhelm but plays with the sour aspect of the wheat and finishes with a little cracker and not so much honey. The body is smooth and it drinks refreshing . You don’t even notice the carbonation it goes down so easy. Really excellent.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, bottled on 3/20/2013. Pours slightly hazy golden straw color with a 1-2 finger dense white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass. Aromas of lemon, orange zest, floral, pine, grass, wheat, bread, light honey, and floral earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of malt and hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of lemon, orange zest, grapefruit, floral, grass, light honey, wheat, bread, light pine, and floral earthiness. Slight floral bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of citrus, citrus zest, floral, grass, light honey, wheat, bread, and floral earthiness on the finish for a short bit. Very nice balance of hop and malt flavors; with zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth and fairly crisp mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with no warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is a very nice pale wheat ale. Nice balance of hop and malt flavors; and very smooth to drink. A very enjoyable offering.
