4oz sample at brewery - Aroma of straw, wheat and pale malts. Flavor matches. Palate is crisp and clean. Ok but nothing special.

On tap at Walking Man. Aroma was very wheaty, and did not pick up any honey or citrus in there. The flavor was a bit different. Wheat, honey, fruit with a lingering grape flavor. Ok beer.

Draft at the bp. I usually don’t like wheat beers, but this one is really nice and flavorful. Very good.

Lots of wheaties in the aroma with some light citrus notes. Hazy golden with a nice fluffy head. Flavors of wheat malt, cereal grains and light citrus in the finish. Clean and crisp with a light pleasant sweetness from the honey.

Draft at the brewpub. Pours a clear pale yellow color with a small white head. Sweetish malty and wheaty aroma. Sweetish wheat malty citrus flavor. Has a sweetish malty wheaty finish with some hints of citrus in the aftertaste.

Draft at Bailey’s Taproom. Nice successful little effort in a horriby dreary style that probably loses the beer too many points in the evening gown competition. Pours a grainy, murky pale amber with a dense, rocky, light tan head. Nice toasty, bready, husky cereal nose of wheat. A bit of sweet spiciness there as well. Creamy body with plenty of grain. Lots of forward wheat notes, with hints of honey and spice at the edges. Refreshing and drinkable. Nice stuff.

7/19/08 On draught at the Brewpub. Aroma is light honey wheat. Appearance is clear straw with a low white head. Flavor is all bready sweet/sour wheat with very low citrus, and a slight extra sugary sweetness. Mouthfeel is light bodied with a medium carb texture. Overall, simple and easy drinking, but lacks flavor and the orange character is limited.

Poured cloudy hazy straw color with thin white head. Slight orange/citrus nose and slightly spicy/acidic flavor. No prominent banana/clove notes and palate was thin but to style

On tap at the brewpub. Pours almost clear gold. Sweet and crisp fruit aroma. Taste of fruit and citrus. A little wheat sourness in the taste, all the way to the crisp finish.
