A cloudy yellowish orange with lots of suspended particles swirling around in it. It has a thick white head that left lots of frothy lace.Smell is great with citrus, wheat, and spice. Taste has the wheat, citrus, spice and hops which all make an appearance but none are amazing. Just a little bitter at the end.

Hmmmm, I like some of Bell’s lineup, but this one tasted a little weird for my taste. By weird, I mean strange; by strange, I mean odd. By odd, I mean unusual. By unusual, I mean: DOES NOT TASTE LIKE BLATZ! Stick with Blatz for all your sophisticated hosting needs. Save this stuff for the neighbors and in-laws. Trust me, I’ve been to Milwaukee so I ought to know.

I’ve been drinking this for some time now and never realized that I haven’t rated it. Pours a soft hazy orange with a nice thick frothy white head. Aroma is very very wheaty. Some citrus fruit and just a bit of coriander along with the sweet fruit nectar. Flavor starts with a big grainy wheat kick, tastes a lot like a home brew in the mash tun with the big grainy flavor. Gains a slight fruitiness but never picks up another major complexity as it finishes with wheat and bitterness. Medium body and moderate carbonation. A definite refresher for the summer.

Pours a slightly hazy golden orange with a thick white head. Aroma of wheat, citrus, and yeast. Flavor is wonderfullly refreshing with a slight sweetness. I am not a big fan of this category of beers, but this takes the cake for me.

Picked up at Brawleys in Charlotte, North Carolina. Nice wheat aroma. Actually, a fairly pungent wheat aroma. Nice thin head as well, but it is too clear i.e. transparent. Sweet aroma. Very nice aroma. Nice banana aroma. Nice upfront yeast/banana flavor, but the beer isn’t as thick as I thought it would be. Nice sweet flavor as well. A very nice wheat ale. Overall, some great yeast and banana flavors, but thinner than I thought it would be, but has that nice yeast/banana aroma that I love.

On tap at Barley’s Smokehouse. Gold/copper pour with a big frothy white head. Creamy and fruity aroma with wheat and hops. Wheat and yeast flavor with a bit of hops. Very refreshing and should make a decent summer beer.

This is the perfect summer beer on a hot day. Lemon and other citrus flavors leave you feeling refreshed.
