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.

Out of the 5th bottle from a 6 pack I bought 2 months ago. A citrus type aroma that I can’t really place...maybe like a honey lemon?? I don’t know but smells great. Easy to drink, definitely something I could drink while fishing all day. Goes down smooth and the flavor is nice and refreshing.

Bottle from bigmmartin. Pale amber, decent head, and a little sediment. Aroma is very light caramel malt and light hops. Hastily sweet then a fizzy bitterness which both disappear quickly. Smooth and drinkable but very average on flavor and aroma.

12oz Bottle: Cloudy golden w/ a small off-white head. Aroma is of caramel w/ some light hops in the background. Smooth caramel flavor w/ a subtle bitter finish. I don’t really know what to say about this one, it’s a wheat, but it screams Sam Smith Winter Warmer at me. Different, that’s for sure. Maybe a bad bottle?

Re-rating after a terrible first experience: On tap at the flying saucer in KC. Pours a very clear, bright golden yellow with a small bubbly white head. Remains extremely lacy and rather good looking. Aroma is light and wheat malty. Some mellowness to it with citrus and grassy hops. Taste is similar, very smooth and mellow. Full mouthfeel. Overall, maybe I had a bad first batch, but after giving this a try again, I’m very glad I didn’t give up on this beer. A solid session beer and a decent tasting wheat. Thanks Ceebs for making me rethink my first rating!

Bottle. Pours a hazy orange, small white head. Aroma is wheat, a touch of honey. Flavor is wheat, malt and a touch of lemon and bubblegum hiding in there. Light body, good beer for drinking in the summer heat.

As stated on the label... the color and scent of a summer afternoon. This beer is a great warm weather companion that will not only "quench" a thirst but also leave the imbiber wanting more! A= A rich amber color with requisite cloudiness. Upon glass entry, a reasonable head and resulting lace as consumption ensued. S= Definate light fruit with a hint of sweet wheat. T= Smooth and quenching with an off-dry finish. M= 30% weight to viscosity ratio. Chewy. D= "Session" ready . Pairing suggestion: Puffed rice encrusted talapia with mango chutney. Serving type: bottle
