Hazy gold with a thin off white head. Mellow hoppage with a good grassy character. Nicely balanced. The Belgian and Czech character is quite clear. Enjoyable but no show stopper.

This beer and Southern Tier’s Pumking should never be consumed within half an hour of each other. Take it from someone who knows.

Pretty light orange on the pour with a little small head that leaves a small amount of lacing. Aroma is of light wheat. Nice, slightly sweet citrus and honey. Very clean smooth and light. Its probably best during the summer but I could enjoy it anytime of year.

Pours a cloudy orange color with a thick white head that disaptes into a thin line. Definite fruity summer ale with some spice. Really a good beer on a hot day. 12 oz. bottle

Bottled. Pours Pale solid ochre, plenty of beautiful sediment. Looks like a cloud inside of an orange ice sickle. Nice frothy head that laces down the glass. Nose is sweet bread (yeast), citrus leaves (Saaz I’m sure), honey, hint of spicy wheat, flower petals, and slightly sweet malt. Flavor is mellifluous and orange citric up front, mellow spicy yeast, and well balanced by light malt. Palate is crisp and smooth, slightly effervescent. Good beer.

12oz bottle. Pours a hazy and very deep gold with light orange highlights and a medium-thin white head that is persistent and leaves light streaks and spots of lace on the glass. The aroma is bready with a touch of spice/herbs (Saaz) and a light touch of sweet honey. Flavor is bready with very little sweetness and a strong herbal quality from late Saaz hop additions. The finish is less dry than expected from the lack of up-front sweetness with a firm spicy/floral bitterness and some wheat flavor. The mouthfeel is crisp and refreshing with a good bit of carbonation and a body that is actually medium-full but feels lighter due to the suds. Overall, an interesting and tasty wheat ale - the distinct Saaz flavors make it refreshing -- almost reminiscent of flavors in a Bohemian Pilsner...

Pours hazy yellow with a smallish white head. Aroma is flowery spices. Taste is malted wheat, light malt and flowery spices. Refreshing and easy to drink, but I would way rather have any real hefe than this kind of wheat beer.

Bottle. Pours a nice yellow color with a rather large, frothy head that is white. Aromas of bananas, roasted wheat, and hints of hay. Very smooth taste with a creamy and oily texture. Almost the perfect summer beer as it is smooth, easy drinking, and has a refreshing aftertaste. Sunshine in a bottle.
