Spicy and bitter in the foretaste...almost as if the taste of yeast were fighting through the malty body of the beer. Notes of citrus and hops in the finish.

Nice wheat, Pours a clear to slightly cloudy orange color with almost no head. Aroma is very citrusy with a little bit of clove mixed in. Flavor is citrus and cloves. A little spicy. No bubblegum yeast flavors. Not much banana either. Good wheat, and a great summer beer.

Bottle thanks to Sprinkle from Crown Liqours. I have been wanting to try more wheats and "Summer" beers lately and this was a nice beer to try. Extremely refreshing. It had a nice wheat and citrus flavor, not overpowering but subtle. Not too carbinated either. I think I will like to have more of this for sure

Hazy golden colored pour with medium sized head. Wheat, sweet fruity aroma. Crisp clean malty, slightly carbonated finish. Not too bad.

Bottle, Awesome for a wheat ale. A tinge of citrus mixed with coriander. Creamy white head with fair lacing that is fully lasting. Very cloudy/murky medium body with an very pleasing darker yellow color. Sweet flavor that is average in duration. A medium bodied brew that is almost creamy in texture with soft carbonation.

One of my favorite wheat ales. The draft was cloudy with particles and had a small rocky head. The aroma was of light bready malt and yeast. A light body with crisp refreshing flavor. Just a touch of lemon. I look forward to this one every summer.

I finally got around to trying this. From a 12-oz. bottle, it pours a cloudy yellow-orange with a middling white head. Nice lacing. Slight hint of citrus in the nose, maybe a bit of hops as well. Very smooth mouthfeel; almost creamy. Subtle tastes of wheat with a hint of lemon in the background, some mild hopping in the finish. To me, the biggest appeal of the beer is its utter smoothness and easy drinkability.
