Bottle. Mild sweet fruit aroma. Hazy orange body, small head. Mild clean flavor, not much going on. A touch of lemon.

Smells good, and has a decent color, but there are particles drifting about. And by particles, I mean disgusting giant white blobs that look like dead skin. Its a good whitbier, if a bit hoppy for my tastes, but every time I see those dead skin blobs floating about, my tongue turns inside out. Bleh.

Bottle, batch 8310. Poured a hazy pale with a creamy white head that left light lace. Large particles drifting about. Aroma of wheat, citrus and a slight butter background. The flavor found a nice mix of wheat, citrus and a light malt background to give me the impression I was drinking an ice tea. Light to medium body and dry. Enjoyable.

Great summer ale, Not very complex but the simplicity is refreshing. Great beer to sit on the front porch and watch the world go by. Best enjoyed in during the summers of the Upper Peninsula.

Straight up refreshing, but not that complex. NIce deep golden with a white foamy head. Nose of malt and fruit. Wheat, pear, malts, and not much in the way of hop balance. Good beer for poolside drinking.

I enjoy this beer over the summer. Cloudy light orange with a nice white head. A nice crisp and fruityflavor with a lot of banana.

Pours a cloudy light orange with lots of particulate in the glass- a little excessive. Aromas of orange peel, grapefruit, apricot, faint yeast, and hop resin. Taste is light and similar to Blue Moon but with better balancing hops and more yeast character. Almost creamy on the palate. Very faint spicy hop finish. Overall not bad but sort of bland altogether.
