This beer might be the best american wheat ales in existence. Pours kind of orangish, hazy with a white head. Great spicey wheat flavor and nice finish. Good carbonation and great mouthfeel, and an awesome summer beer.

Light, yellowish-haze. Cloudy wheat style. Crisp and fruity. A good wheat beer, and very drinkable.

Sampled on draft, light, refreshing wheat beer. Euro influences all over this Wheat Ale from Bell’s.

Bottle, from John’s Grocery in Iowa City, IA. Hazy orange, smallish layer of fine white head. Cold, sweet orange aroma, a bit of mint. Green grass flavor and bitter citrus oil. hint of tomato. Nice touch of hops in the finish. Much higher flavor volume than the usual American-style wheat beer. I dig.

Not really a disappointment as through the course of time I’ve read so many reports here of people that didn’t think a lot of this. The larger disappointment that my brother brought a whole sixer of this, rather than another Bell’s. Still, I hoped for a bit more SOMETHING to come up over the top. Found some, but little comfort in my non-beer drinking brother saying "I could drink this" ... Nice layer of yeasty bidness that did little to impart much over the generally middleoftheroadwithsomebetterflavor. Better than a yawn, but not by a wide margin.

Pours an opaque buff with little head. Slightly sour aroma with bread yeast and some spiciness. Sweet and bready in flavor. A little spicy, a little caramel, a little citrus. Nice body. Better than Widmers though not my favorite style.

Bottle thanks to daknole. Thanks! Batch 9100. Pours a hazy gold with a medium white head that fades quickly. Grainy and somewhat unpleasant aromas… must be the Saaz. Sweet and wheaty, light honey flavors. Finishes with a light bitterness, and a bit of cardboard. Rather unpleasant, and a big disappointment for a Bell’s brew. At less than two months, I can’t figure that it’s old, just not so good.

Batch 8995, thanks bitbucket! Hazy murky yellow, some orange, all around blonde i guess. My stuffy nose couldn’t detect much beyond the dry wheat nose. Refreshing with a dusty dry side and a liquid sugar side. There’s some enjoyable depth if I look for it, though I also could drink 6 by the pool and not think twice either. Gets more and more dry as I drink it.
