On tap at McCoy Stadium. Faintly spicy, wheaty aroma. Some lemon zest is all the bitterness this beer will offer. Soft malt character is main feature of this summer ale, which seems a light interpretation of domestic wheat ales. Very refreshing...not so memorable.

Pours a deep yellow with a long lasting white head. Nose is lemon and wheat. Palate is medium body with slight lemon and wheat. Bitterness is almost missing. As with Blueberry, Wachusett seems to think that the mere mention of a fruit is enough. I find their fruit beers very lacking. If fruit is added, have it in the flavor profile - the one actually tasted. What would a chocolate or coffee stout be without the taste of chocolate and coffee? A big disappointment. Same here.

Bottle courtesy of AirForceHops. Lemon and wheat malt aroma. Slightly hazed straw gold with a small white head. Sweet wheat malt and light lemon flavor. LIght body, soft carbonation. I drank this after coming in from cleaning the chicken coop. Works as a lawnmower beer.

Not a bad beer. I like it on a hot summer day, very refreshing. However, when it comes to ratings, this beer just doesn’t make the mark. Palate is off, appearance is not that great.

matalec1984 (115) - Massachusetts, USA - APR 17, 2012
Pours a hazy light yellow with a light white head. Head doesn’t last long and has very little lacing. Aroma has a slight citrusy hint but is overwhelmed by the malty/wheat notes. Flavor is a little thin, hops fail to come through, and leaves the drinker with a fairly malty wheat ale. Light carbonation and easy to drink, but not a whole lot going on.

Braudog (5062) - Hampton, Virginia, USA - JAN 7, 2012
Bottle. Pale, slightly hazy straw-colored beer with moderate carbonation, yet zero head. Little to no aroma, and barely much of a flavor, either -- maybe a nice little zesty flourish in an even-keeled grassy brew. Made cleanly and without any technical imperfection. Lawnmower beer -- not NFL playoffs beer. (#4431, 1/7/2012)

FROTHINGSLOSH (4035) - GREENSBURG, Pennsylvania, USA - DEC 7, 2011
My wife brought this one back from a trip to Rochester. +++ Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a hazy yellow color with a medium sized yellow-white head that faded quickly and left no lacing. The aroma was tangy lemonade with a sweet sugary undertone. The flavor was sugar, lemonade, a bit of bread and not much else. Medium finish. Light body. Eh.

-on tap-pours a white head and pale yellow color. Aroma is sweet light malt. Taste is sweet light malt/wheat, lemon, some hops bite. Crisp.

355 ml bottle. Boston, MA.
Cloudy pale golden colour with small to average sized fluffy white head. Mild wheaty aroma with some sweet caramel notes. Wheat, malt and sweet fruitiness in flavour. Regular Wheat Ale. Nothing interesting here I’m afraid.
