Pretty basic wheat ale. Basic light aroma of citrus zest and just a bit of spice. Flavor follows the aroma well, but again, a little on the light side. Palate is pleasant, soft, and lightly effervescent. Overall, good and fairly balanced, but really nothing all that special.

Bottle at the Brickskeller in DC. Hazy golden-orange color with a big white head. Aroma is wheat, yeast, and light fruits. Flavor is wheaty with an awesome fruitiness - banana, citrus, and tropical fruit - with some sweet honey. Really tasty. Palate medium-light and creamy. Simply one of the best wheat ales out there.

Bottle into pint. Trade bonus courtesy of mattmc1973 (thank you). Pours a cloudy light orange, with a large fluffy head that reduces slowly. Aroma is wheaty, citrusy, and mildly hoppy. A tiny amount of spice detected too on the nose. Flavor is moderately hoppy - more than expected. Also citrus and cream in the flavor, a little sweet malt. Creamy mouthfeel. Pretty damn good for this style. Overall, good to very good.

Pours bright orange-yellow; semi-cloudy with lots of sediment seen if you hold it up to a light; foamy long-lasting head. Aroma has strong hops, orange and some sweet honey overtones. Taste is surprisingly creamy, some grassy earthtones, cracked wheat bread, some citrus and like the aroma, some sweet clover honey. Definitely a little spicy coriander/orange zest as well. I love wheat beers and this is one of the best I’ve had.

Tried at a tasting at Wine World in NA. Not bad but not one I purchased. May need to try again as the competition was tough!

Bottle sample at Brevard County Beer Fest--Orange color beer with no real head. Aroma of wheat and bananas. Light carbonation and fruity wheat was in the taste, with a fizzy finish.
