Bottle. Pours a golden clean body with a frothy/buttery white head. Nose is full of dry outdoorsy smells, hay, wet tree branches, slightly dusty and sweet. The flavors are mild and have some notes of orange peel, corriander, simple syrup, and dry grass. The mouthfeel was absolutely amazing for this style. Nothing poked or prodded and the beer was perfectly balanced and pleasant, even though I’m not a fan of the style.

Another underwhelming offering from Bells. Boring and unremarkable with a bit of a peroxide finish. I realize wheat beers are unfiltered, and therefore hazy with sediment, but this left a strange gellatin-like mass of floaties in my glass - never seen anything quite like it. Not bad really, but I don’t see any reasong to drink this again.

Another winner from bells. On draft a nice orange-gold, hazy looker with strong aromas of wheat and tangy citrus. Well balanced with just enough spice, wheat, and citrus juice to match the malt backbone. refreshing.

Pours cloudy gold/yellow with lots of floaties. It has a an aroma of lemon, wheat, orange peel, and soap. The flavor is yeasty, a touch of spice, soapy and a nice backbone of honey/caramel sweetness, but pretty dry for the most part. It ends on a nice citrus peel bitterness. This was a nice refreshing summer beer.

Bottle courtesy of Devil’s Advocate from Fever. Thanks! Dark yellow, almost orange pour. Very tasty, especially for a wheat, which I don’t drink often. It has a slightly spicy, very saison feel to it. Earthy, but also subtle sweet fruits - apricot, etc. Not overwhelmingly sweet, but good sweetness that you would expect from a summery wheat.

Bright orange yellow color with a dense head. Aroma is really nice. Sweet with some zesty citrus hops. Very clean, but don’t age this one. Very floral taste and bright and refreshing. Love those mini kegs. Great beer.
