Light yellow body with lingering white head. Flavor is wheat with citrus and light cloves and coriander. Refreshing yet still fairly interesting. Pleasant summer beer.

(Bottle) Pours a lightly hazy yellow body with a small white head. Aroma of orange peel, coriander, light cloves, and hay. Flavor of citrus, banana, and wheat with a lightly carbonated mouthfeel.

Bottle. Pours hazy yellow with a frothy head. Aroma is pretty strong, of coriander, sweet wheat malt, orange peel, banana, and a pepper. Taste is the same components; a little weaker, but still pretty complex and refreshing. Not much yeast, but the flavors seem to work pretty well as is. Pretty good, but definitely a beer for a certain time and place; best on a hot summer day with some grilling.

I love wheat in the summer. It may be wrong of me, but I love this beer with some orange or lemon in it. I’m so glad it will be year round now. This is a very refreshing beer with a great wheat flavor. It has awesome tones of citrus in it.

Mmmm...summer beer. Maybe I’m partial to the local crew but this is one of my favorites. Glad this one will be around for a couple more months. A sweet, yeasty taste that doesn’t overpower. Nice citrusy and spicey aromas.

12 oz bottle compliments of CaptainCougar

Poured with a huge foamy two-fingered head that contained lots of carbonation and protected a peach coloured body. Hints of peaches, coriander, lightly buttered white bread, lemons and orange peels presented themselves to my nose as a promise of what was to come. Eventually I took a sip and found a wondeful balance of pepper, citrus, orange peel soaked in lime, bananas and cloves. Perhaps a little on the thin side but still very satisfying. An excellent summertime beer for drinking when grilling out. Thanks Cougar!

Beer pours cloudy and has a wonderful citrus flavor. Very refreshing on tap as well as in the bottle. Not bitter as all.

Thanks Degarth for this bottle. Pours cloudy yellow with some lacing. The aroma is fantastic, citrus and corriander, refreshing, vibrant. Just like a wit. The flavor is a little let down. A bit watery, less taste. The mouthfeel is nice, the beer is not overpowering yet present. Goes down with no bitterness.
