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!).

bottle. pours an unfiltered deep golden with a nice white head. pleasant citrus and spicy aroma. spice up front with big wheat malts over the top. nice bitter finish for a wheat ale... the Saaz hops are really pronounced here... plenty of citrus / lemon notes throughout. Bells delivers the best beer for Summer.... Oberon is something I will buy every year.

Pours out a cloudy straw/light golden color with a small one finger white head. Aroma is of some grassy yeasty notes, but none too strong. Taste is straight forward but very well done. Yeast, citrus some spice and a little bitterness going on in the background, dangerously drinkable.

Bottle,draught,mini keg.The beer pours a very cloudy golden color with a large white head.The strong scent of citrus and wheat is prominent.Strong yeast, orange and wheat flavor. The aftertaste is sweet and citrusy. Creamy mouthfeel,medium body. One of my faves

12oz bottle served in a weizen glass. Pour is cloudy gold with a thin head, large chunks of sediment float lazily around in the liquid. Smells very citrusy as well as some yeasty esters. Taste is malty sweet, not really much else going on. With the Bell’s label on it i expected some crazy uber-crafted weizen bursting with flavor. It is crisp and clean but a bit of a let down.

Wow. I was recommended this tasty brew from a worker at Grape & Gourmet and I was not disappointed at all. The aroma was very nice, slightly cloudy golden color and a nice crisp and refreshing taste that finished very clean. I really enjoyed this beer and look forward to many more!
