Brewed by Bells Brewery
Style: Wheat Ale

MABR-Cloudy light amber color,small white head that faded fast.Wheaty citrus aroma with a light spice character to it.The taste was better then i thought it would be,Wheaty sweet taste with a slight spice and fruity tone with a slight yeasty flavor, the after taste being wheat and citrusy with a nice smooth feel to the brew.This was one fine brew and for the price it can't be beat.

ReRate#3 2005 version-This is the perfect session wheat beer in my book-big and citric! This years is much better than last years. Last year was plagued with diacytl problems. It was very inconsistent (had a few good ones and some really bad ones). ReRate #2 2004 bottle. This year’s version is way better than the 03. Very zesty and sweet. More sweet than last years which was dominated by a spicy saaz hop thing. ReRate 10/24/02-had this on tap again, but im still not shure if the tap handle was not changed-tasted more like the amber, but i wasn’t shure. This time around if it was oberon, it was steller! good wheat, probably my fav, but still not my boat. Huge citrus aroma and light orange appearance. had this on tap the same night i had the sierra nevada summerfest and i liked the nevada better hate to say it.

12 oz. bottle courtesy of a trade with yem25. Pours a very cloudy yellow gold with a moderate white head that faded to a light film after the first quarter of the glass. Light but pleasant aroma of wheat grain and just a touch of lemon. Flavor is similar but stronger than the aroma with plenty of wheat with just a bit of lemon and perhaps some yeast as well. The mouthfeel is more full bodied and creamy than a typical wheat ale and is a plus for this beer. Refreshing and enjoyable.

GABF, 12 bottle. Hazy orange with decent head. Definitley some banana. Some spice flavors too. not bad.

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.

Hazy gold w. fine head. Aroma is a light, refreshing miex of coriander and orange. Very mild taste, but refreshing version of the style with an orange citrus dominance.

Draft - Hazed gold, creamy white head. Light honey wheat and citrus aromas warm to a touch of grassiness. Faint bready wheat and citrus flavors balance each other well. Light bodied with soft carbonation. Decent for a lawn mower chugger...

Cloudy, golden bronze in color with a creamy, 3/8" white head. Smells of Wonderbread, orange cream, nutmeg and cloves. Taste is cherry-vanilla, amarillo and orange cream. Subtly sweet. Not really any strong flavor elements; rather reserved. Decent summer drink.
