This is a hazy lemon-colored brew with good carbonation. Light lemony citrus aroma and flavor. OK mouthfeel. Not the worst Wit I’ve had, but not the best either. Still, quite refreshing. Finishes dry with slight wheaty cracker notes.

Taste is thin and watery. Appearance is white and cloudy. Nice silk flavors and nothing abrasive. Clean wheat beer. Not my first pick but nothing offensive!

A: pours a very opaque pale yellow, with a pure white head on top. Great retention level with an even more impressive amount of lacing. S: nice big wheaty aroma. Light citrus, with a very yeasty nose. Some coriander and some light clove. T: very light citrus notes, solid wheat and yeast characteristics, bananas, clove, and light hints of bubble gum. M: very clean and smooth. Light carbonation.

Leafs93 (868) - Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, USA - AUG 20, 2010
Pours cloudy yellow with white head. Aroma is wheat and some citrus. Taste is light bitter with a sweet finish. Light mouthfeel. This is great for a hot day, not much complexity. However most of this style are simple and refreshing, this fits that bill.

jaymobrown (1445) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - AUG 17, 2010
Decent. Light, kind of thin. Not much head. Dry, with a short finish. Had some citrus notes in the nose. Some in the taste, but not too much. Really harmless.

mcberko (2192) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - AUG 7, 2010
11.2 oz. bottle, pours cloudy yellow with a white head. Aroma of wheat and citrus. Flavour of citrus, wheat, some acidity, very watered down and weak.

thorine (34) - Indiana, USA - AUG 2, 2010
Aroma: light malt, minimal hops, sweet aroma, lightly acidic. Appearance: v. light straw color, light head, my can somehow laced well, no bubbling, moderate haze. Flavor: medium malt, light finishing hop, slightly sour finish, clean w/ minimal aftertaste. Palate: light-med body, no ETOH flavor, reasonably crisp, no cloying. Overall impression: light on taste and character. Minimal spicing. A very meek example of this style.

Shrews629 (193) - Kentucky, USA - AUG 1, 2010
Pineapple juice color. Cloudy with a very white head that looks very soapy. Not much lacing being left on the glass. Head didn’t stick around very long. The smell was of fruity citrus. Orange and lemon. A little bit of the wheat underlying the citrus. Getting a bit of a spice in the nose also. A decently balanced smelling beer. Getting a touch of the sweetness at first with the taste followed by a slightly stronger bitterness that seems to be more prominent than most "wheat" brews. Picking up on some of the pepper also. The mouthfeel was crisp, refreshing, smooth and only a tad bit watery. Rather thin, but not a bad thing. This is a summer brew, of course, that would go down very easy on those hot days.
