Pours with a deep golden body topped by a thin to medium thick, white head with some lacing. It’s slightly sweet and floral with a hint of bitterness and a touch of fruit. Light to medium bodied, smooth and a touch watery.

12oz Bottle - Trade - Daknole
Aroma – Nice wheat aroma with a light hops backing with a slight fruitiness in the aroma also.
Appearance – Amber in Color, Thick head and hazy.
Flavor – Nice German malt build. Lots of good hops adding to the fruitiness of the beer.
Palate – Good Mouthfeel, Wheaty sediment texture with a dry finish.
Overall – A great summer beer with a good use of hops I can see why this is so well liked. Very good beer and very well brewed.

Hazy orange-yellow body with an ample, fluffy white head. Slowly, the head settles to a bubbly 2mm layer that nearly lasts for the entire drink. Spotty lacing dots the glass. The aroma is of lemons and oranges over a pale wheat malt background. The flavor is quite refreshing, though predictable. More of the same citrus over wheat, with just a hint of mild spices off in the distance. Body is on the lighter side of medium, adding to the smooth palate and the effortless drinkability. Refreshing summertime beer.

bottle. pours hazy golden with white fluffy head. nose is slightly citrusy with some wet grain and oats smell. flavor is leathery, wheaty, and biscuity. the leathery taste and texture gets to me a bit. carbonation is smooth. body is light but not watery. finish is a bit too wheaty and there needs to be a little more bitterness to balance that out.2.7.

7/6/08, sampled on tap at the eccentric cafe and this really shined on tap, really nice fresh spicy hop character, balanced the citrus and wheaty malt profile. really refreshing beer.3.5.

Earthy aroma of oranges and wheat; minor spice as well. Color was a murky, orange-brownish gold. Easy drinking, great palate. Flavor is nothing amazing, orange and wheat. Very good for style.
