Cloudy yellow appearance, little head. Some citrusy notes in the nose - wheaty, nice. Bitter, burnt hoppy finish. Nice beer, not great though. More of a cult sensation than a phenom.

Bottle. I ordered this beer at three different bars that all claimed to have it but did not for whatever reason. I didn’t even want it that badly but after getting shut down like I did I HAD to get it. Cloudy golden color with a white head. Wheaty, with some clove and some pear. A bit yeasty, mild citrus. Medium creamy body, refreshing. Thank God, finally an American Wheat worth drinking.

12 oz bottle thanks to Vyvvy. Look I really like a lot of what Bell’s is doing but is this beer really almost a 3.5? Poured a hazy orangey/yellow/brown with a bubbly white head that looked like appple cider with some large floating chunks. Aroma had some sweetness to it and was pleasant, when you actually smelled it. Palate was medium body with a nice mouthfeel that finished with a slight bit of bitterness. The flavor was light with some hints of fruit but overall needs to kick it up some. For Bells this one is a let down to me.

Hazy pale gold w/ large white head. Wheaty, grainy, mildly spicy aroma. Light, grainy feel. Not particularly complex. Some wheaty malt, light fruit, & grassy hops.

12 oz bottle. Pale orange with a thin frothy head. Gently sour lemon nose with faint wheat. Airy with orange and lemon. Additional sweet fruits and light spice. Light with medium carb.

Bright orange yellow color with a dense head. Aroma is really nice. Sweet with some zesty citrus hops. Very clean, but don’t age this one. Very floral taste and bright and refreshing. Love those mini kegs. Great beer.

A nice light, hazy beer. Crisp and fairly light. I’m not a huge fan of wheats, but this is pretty good.
