Clear light straw body with white head. Aroma is medium sweet (honey), some grassy. Taste is medium sweet, grassy (medium intensity). Light body. Ok summery beer with genuine flavor -- no sign of wheat, but that’s Ok.

UPDATED: MAY 27, 2006 On tap at the Triumph Brew Pub in New Hope.. Poured a light yellow with a small head. As in its color, too light for me (in aroma and tastes). Some honey wheat and grain. Thin body.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Tap at the Princeton location. Pale straw colour, low aroma with just a touch of light hay and straw. Tastes sort of bready on the back of the palate. Light and drinkable, but it’s pretty boring.

The Lure:
Fat and lazy maltiness isn’t helped by the fruity honey. Wheat is present in loose grain form, melting into the minty honey adequately. It’s a honey wheat, and nothing more. But it’s well-brewed.
The Festivities:
Fruity and minty honey sweetness finishes almost syrupy. It is accordingly inhabited by wheat cereal, which works well with the honey and malt. But I still do not have a taste for honey wheats.
Transcendence:
I hate getting up too early in the morning.

Clear golden pour, the head is white and smallish. Ripening honey character stays diplomatic in the nose, but becomes quite dynamic and filling in mouth, offering a jolly support to the distinctive wheatiness. Herbal, focused and almost smoky rendition. Medium bodied, softly carbonated. Eh.. what can I say, it is flawlessly executed.

Draft at Malvern Brew Fest. Golden hazy pour with some bready pale malt and slight honey aromas. The palate and complexity were on the low end of the scale, and the flavor was wheaty malty with some honey.
