Great summertime beer, lots of wheat flavor. Pours a hazey yellow colour with a nice fluffy sweetly aromatic head. Great retention, nice lacing. Aroma is pleasent, Orange peel, coriander and some sort other sort of spice. Delightfully sweet flavors. Refreshing, clean and crisp all the way through.

Bottle, pours hazy orange with a thin white head. Aroma of wheat, lemon, orange. Pretty much same on the flavor side. Nice and crisp, lively carbonation. Great summer beer.

[bottle] Poured a hazy straw gold with lots of floaties. Aroma of wheat malt, lemon zest, and citrus fruits. Flavor is nice and light with citrus, wheat, and a little bit of hops. Would make a great session ale.

A very unusual beer. When I opened it I could not tell that it was a wheat. I had aromas of orange I thought. The taste was about the same. It tasted good but I was really confused as to the style. Very fruity aftertaste with more of a bitter than most wheats I’ve had. Carbonation and mouthfeel are good. Unusual in a very good sort of way. An almost thick drinker.

Pours a hazy gold orange with a thin white head. Light wheaty aroma. Sweet wheat and melon flavor. Nice and light, good for a summer day. Solid wheat beer.

Well, Bells really outdid themselves with this 2009 batch. It’s slightly stronger, and a helluva lot more flavorful, but balanced as well. Tastes more like a proper Belgian wheat ale, and I loved every drop. Cheers!

really enjoyed this one, even though it was not very high on the hop presence at all. Honey tasting throughout, with some nice subtle esters. Summer sipper.
