Bottle from wine and things north Raleigh. Bright orangish pour with fluffy off white head and spotty lace. Light citrus aroma. Light spice, citrus, and wheat. Lightly acidic however I enjoyed it on some level

12 oz bottle. Pours a orange/yellow color with a medium sized white head that dissipates pretty quickly. Aroma is wheat, with touches of citrus. Flavor is citrus, with wheat. Relatively clean on the palate, but something felt lacking in the beer.

Wheaty and metallic aroma with some hint of citrus. Flavor is very citric and somewhat acidic with an aftertaste that was a bit off.

Bottle. Pours yellow orange with a fluffy white head. Wheaty aroma with citric notes that reminded me of Sunny D (in a good way). The flavor has a very refreshingly tart citric quality on top of a wheaty base. Nothing too impressive, but this one really hit the spot.

12 oz bottle from Canal’s Hainesport. Pours a thin looking slightly cloudy golden yellow, looked like dirty dishwater, with a bright white fizzy totally disipating head. Aroma of a dirty fermenting diaper after the baby ate some wild berries. Thin watery body with slight carbonation. Flavor of sour lemons, no not lemon citric acid sourness but an actual sour lemon sourness, and some grassy wheat notes mixed in. Being nothing but honest this beer just sucked on every level.

Bottle: The aroma consists of some light wheaty citrus notes, lemon, bread, and some grass. It pours a dull hazy yellow with a small fizzy white head that quickly fades to a thin ring around the edges of the glass. The flavor starts with light citrus that quickly turns to light-moderate sour lemon with just a hint of mustiness and grass in the finish. Light bodied with a slightly fizzy mouthfeel.

Sampled on draft at Rivertowne this beer poured a hazy yellow-gold with a medium sized white head. The aroma was sweet and had a moderate citrusy fruitiness. The flavor was a bit tart, tangy and musty with a moderate citrus element. Decent.
