Flat and somewhat skunky. Not doing it for me. Cant tell when it was brewed. Hopefully the stout is better. Will NOT buy again.

April 2006 - This beer poured light, cloudy yellow with nice head and outstanding lacing. Aroma was wheaty and yeasty with some oranges (citrus hops are "in" this year, it’s seeming every beer I try is orange/citrus lately!). The flavor was orangey sweet, even more than the wheaty base...smooth and extremely drinkable. For an American Wheat (not my favorite wheat style by a long shot), this isn’t bad. The citrusy hopy make it stand out from the others and I do like the splash of orange. Not as "wheaty" as I would like (which is my common complaint against this style).

Cloudy orange appearance. Quite a large amount of sediment at the bottom of the glass ( Possibly from it being too cold). Nice light citrus flavor compliments this wheat beer.

Hazy cloudy orange with minimal white head. Aroma is wheaty with notes of yeast and oxidized tangerine. Taste is same, but biscuity and faint, and it is nicely carbonated. Finish is a tad rubbery though.

Probably my favorite beer in the summer...much more flavor and aroma than an typical wheat beer, but just a refreshing on a warm summer day. Very smooth, with subtle notes of hops and malt in both aroma and flavor. Good underlying citrus notes, not overpowering...just a nice refreshing beer from start to finish. Goes great with a slice of orange (much better than using a lemon...the orange brings out the flavor).

Bottle. Golden amber color, average head. Average beer aroma. Flavor is very smooth, a good barley and wheat taste and nice hop flavor. Touch of lemon. Just plain and simple, a pleasant beer.
