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

I could put away dozens of these. Extremely drinkable, flavorful and refreshing. 6% seems just the right level too to be an everyday drinker.

In my opinion, the best summer beer. Really crisp and refreshing. Hints of wheat but not sweet like many are. There is enough hop to it to really balance it out.

Amazingly my first taste of this one was at the Cafe alongside the Uberon. Light, crisp and a nice comparison to the Uberon as they came off as two completely different beers because of the barrel aging. This was a wonderfully crisp and balance summer wheet. Happy to have picked up a 5L to open as sume BBQ this summer!

Picked up a mini keg in the cleve. So enjoyable with a burger on a hot summer day. Apricot with fluffy white head. Crisp, flavor of orange spice, wheat, citrus, a schtickle of hop notes.

On tap at the sanctuary. A cloudy yellow, almost orange. It’s bready with a citrus finish. Good clean flavor, but none of the wheat tanginess I expect. Good drinking, but nothing outrageous (particularly for a Bell’s!).
