Pours a hazy yellow with a diminishing white head. Aroma smells of sour oranges/ peaches with some spice. The flavor is very bready with notes of peach and wacky citrus. It is ok, but not wonderful; not what I have come to expect from Bell’s.

first of many beers tried on my trip to MichiganPoured a hazy golden color with moderate head and a ton of yeast in the bottom-aroma was citrusy and bready. Quite flavorful for as light as it seemed on the tongue, wheaty with some fruitiness and yeast.

Aroma is yeast, sweet fruit, and spice. It’s appearance is a hazy orange, with a fluffy head. It’s flavor is subtle, but complex, with wheat body, citrus spice, and some tiny bit tartness. It’s supra-smooth, a nice session.

Bottle pours a cloudy golden color with a light white head. Sweet citrus notes. Semi sweet taste of wheat, citrus, cloves, with a slightly hoppy finish. Great wheat beer.

Pours a hazy golden orange color with a lot of sediment. A small sort of frothy head that only lasts a couple seconds. Aroma of wheat, honey, citrus, and yeast. The flavor has a lot of sweet honey in it too. The wheat doesn’t come through excessively, but it is noticeable. A nice citrus spice that finishes sort of dry. A medium body that leaves a spicy bitterness on the tongue.

A very distinct beer, strong aroma and taste, but goes down pretty smooth. Appearance as expected - pale amber, orange-like color, but poured with a lot of head. As the logo might suggest it may be more suited as a summer brew although I believe its available year round.

Great summer brew. Notes of lemon and citrusy flavors with a hint of wheat and yeast flavors. Very drinkable.

Bottle from Foodery, Philly. Yellow light orange color decent head. Not much wheat taste. Caramel honey orange lemon and some wheat and yeast. Thin. Not bad for a Summer beer.
