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.

Middle of the road here...nice session brew but nothing to write home about. Hazy tangerine with small lemon yellow head. The aroma is mild citrus, wheat, and spice. Flavor is honey-nut Cheerios and a squeeze of orange. Refreshing and light.

Smooth and easy, fairly modest but not something that’ll make you say wowee wow or anything.

From a bottle purchased in Raleigh, NC (Thanks, Margaret!)--Poured a bright, hazy golden-orange with a creamy white head. Wheaten nose with evidence of spicy hops. Nice mixture of American and Czech style wheat beer. Mildly tart and astringent, but mostly fruity and spicy. Finished with a big wheat presence. Pretty good.
