12 oz bottle courtesy of Linus Stick. Pours a cloudy yellow-orange color with a big fluffy white head. The aroma is musty with yeast, straw and some spices. The flavor is mild with herbs, light citrus and breads. The mouthfeel has a buttery quality. The finish is long with lingering lemon and butter. Overall: A very good summer session ale.

This is a lovely summer brew. Not sure why I didn’t drink more of it last year. I wonder if others hold it in too high esteem, expecting more from Bell’s. It is, after all, just a wheat beer. But no need to cover this sucker up with orange or lemon, though I’m sure an orange would be nice if that’s your thing. Tastes lovely on its own. Bright orange-gold pour, generous head. Flavors and aromas of orange, yeast, a little zest and minimal spice. In a word, refreshing.

Pours pale semi opaque golden orange with a large white head. Malty yeast bready aroma. Light orange flavor, some hop bitterness, mildly sweet. Light, refreshing. Great with an orange slice on hot summer day.

Pours a hazy flaming orange with thick white head that dissipates to a thin layer. Definitely a orange aroma mixed with yeast/wheat. Flavor is a light orange with definite wheat flavors. Body is medium with fair carbonation. Not a heavy beer, refreshing. Good, go to beer for summer.

Not a a bad wheat, it wasnt too flavorful, but it def had some nice characteristics. It did have some nice wheat flavor, its appearence was nice with lots of unfiltered hops. It was easy to drink and not a bad beer. Worth a try.
