Rating #7 for this brew. Awesome. 2nd variety from my tackle box. [A] Smell seems kind of like the base for Blue. Just a pale, wheaty aroma. Touch of citrus zest. Some cereal sweetness. [A] Slightly hazed gold. [F] Wheat. More citrus here than the smell would indicate. More sweetness. [P] Nice mouth on this one. Probably the best aspect of the beer. Light. Well carbonated. Very drinkable. Would probably be enjoyed best, ice cold. [O] Surprisingly, I liked Blue more than this. Decent beer. Worth a try, but not a repeat.

Crystal clear pale golden pour with a rather weak white head that quickly fades. Aroma of ... orange marmalade? over hints of bread and caramel. Interesting flavor ... malty in a way I wouldn’t expect for a beer this pale. Medium bodied mouthfeel with spritzy carbonation. No astringency. Nice beer. Was expecting more ’wheat’ character.

On tap at Taco Mac in Woodstock, GA. Hazy golden poor with bubblegum and banana aromas. Flavor is mostly of wheat and a little watery. Meh.

Pours a very light pale with minimal head. It has a nice malty attack which mellows to a wheat/meal finish.

Part of the "tackle box" sampler pack A: Pours a cloudy pale straw color with a white frothy billowy head. Good retention on this one S: Tons and tons of peach and orchard fruit (cantaloupe?) right off the bat, wheat, and an interesting yeast strain. Very subtle and delicate nose T: Again, subtle. Tart fruits, tons of orchard fruits, wheat and that yeast again - not sure I’ve come across this one MF/O: Light, clean finish, peachy finish, mellow carbonation giving a nice feel to it

This is a very nice representative of what Sweet Water really does well, classic well balanced beers conforming to traditional styles. It is a tough job and rarely gets much credit but damn it can be nice. Aroma is pure hay, smells like the farm. Color is very pale with good lacing. Taste is very crisp and well balanced with hints of caramel and hay. Palate is very well rounded and hay.

Pours slightly orangy yellow, surprisingly clear, full white head that fades, and little lacing. Pleasing aroma, wheat, white grapes. Taste has a little sweetness, slight grape flavor, and more bitterness than expected. Not balanced that well. Light body and pretty low carbonation.

pours a really nice yellow/golden color. not a really heavy aroma. great sweet and tangy flavor. pretty great beer.

Well, to be honest. This was a great surprise to get this beer. Came in an assortment at Kroger...this was the surprise in the case... I had high hopes....but, this one came up short in flavor. Aroma is nice, wheaty...lil citrus to it.... but flavor is just plain, but that is what you often get with these wheat beers....... lil grassy, but its fine... this is offered often, I am content with it, i would buy it if available on a regular basis in summer time....maybe that is what is going on...

Not bad, just not close to as good as Sweetwaters IPA offering. Nice aroma and appearance, but the taste for me was too light. Good on a hot summer day maybe...
