12oz bottle 4/17/09-Pours a cloudy yellowish orange with a nice white head. Aroma of wheat, citrus, and some malt. Taste is of the same with some lemon coming in along with some spices. This light bodied brew was fairly tasty.

Cloudy orange pour with a medium white head. This has a belgian wheaty flavor but with an american ale aftertaste. smell is pretty fruity and malty. This is so refreshing. What an excellent summer beer for barbeques and such.

Poured from the bottle. Pour produced a cloudy, golden-brown body (with floaty bits) topped by a white head of foam. Nose has notes of wheat, citrus and honey. Bitter flavor on first blush, with a moderately sweet middle note, followed by a slight sour-bitter aftertaste. Palate is slightly hopped wheat with a dry finish.

Appearance: yellowish color with a slight golden tint; above average-sized white fluffy head; very hazy Aroma: moderate grainy wheat character as desired; low hop aroma as evidenced by fruity, citrus note Flavor: delightful strong wheat flavor with good length into the finish; finishes pretty dry; low-moderate hop flavor and low bitterness Palate: medium body and medium carbonation; pretty smooth

Poured a hazy golden color with a short white head. The aroma was light citrus, malt and wheat. The flavor was lightly spiced citrus and wheat. Drinkable, almost refreshing. Not bad at all for a style I’m kind of meh about.

The first Bells beer tried, came recommended by several people. Not a real big wheat beer drinking, prefer darker beer. Was pleasantly surprised however. Very drinkable.

12 oz bottle. I don’t usually like wheats, but this came highly recommended. Pours a beautiful golden color with a pure white half finger high head. Smells of malt, wheat, some hops, and fruit. Tastes of lots of wheat, some hops, and a bit of fruit. The malt kind of disappeared, which was refreshing. Very smooth going down, almost as smooth as a lager, but has more body to it. Very good, and almost made me enjoy wheats.
