Poured from a 12 ounce bottle into a chilled shaker. The beer pours a light gold with a quickly diminishing white head of foam. No lacing spotted during the life of the beer. Aroma is sweet and grainy, like fruity pebbles. Taste is all fruity pebbles. The label ought to be switched out to be more reminiscent of the famed cereal. Mouthfeel is light and spritzy and leaves a short lasting aftertaste.

On Tap at The Tap Room St. John, US Virgin Islands. The most disappointing of the day, but still not awful on tap. Pours hazy gold with slight head. Aroma is metallic, a bit off-putting. Sweet malt, light esthers, a bit of a citrus finish.

Refrigerated bottle poured into a weizen glass compliments of cavie. Pours clear gold with small white head. Light honey/wheat aroma, some lacing, light carbonation, and medium body. Taste is smooth wheat and honey. Underrated, very drinkable, and would be great on a hot summer day.

Aroma is light wheat and nothing else. Flavor is wheat and peach. Medium bodied and a bit thin. A drinkable beer, but not my favorite.

A brilliantly clear light gold body that forms an average-sized white head that quickly dissipates. Very light honey malt aroma. Lightly sweet with a touch of wheat dryness in the finish. Spritzy and light bodied.

Bottle: nice aroma, wheat , honey, yeast, tropical fruits, flowery, not very aromatic but delicate and nice, flavor is more grainy, some wheat, some sweetish malt, ok beer.

Clear golden pour with a light head. Grassy, grainy aroma. The flavor is more like a full bodied light lager than a wheat. The flavor is grass and cereal grains with a touch of hop spice bitterness. This is not an exceptional brew but given your options in the caribean you could do much much worse. Fairly easy drinking and quenching.

Bottle from Cavie. Yellow pour with a small white head. Aroma is weak, watery, and maybe some grain. Taste is a little sweet, corn flakes, and dish soap.

0.33L bottle, small quickly dissapearing head, clear deep golden colour, aroma of peach and apricot with some winey noyes and a hint of citrus, flavours of peach apricot and some citrus at the back, strong but short bitterness with a hint iof alcohol making the beer feel a touch too heavy and thick.

9/8/10. Thanks, Cavie - new country tick! 12oz bottle. Clear dark yellow pour (like my pee after a few) with a small white head that’s gone fast. Faint aroma with must and sour. The flavor is like a very weak brett saison - this stuff is infected. Meh.
