(Bottle) Pours a hazy dark yellow color with a pillow-like head. Mild aroma of spices and wheat. Excellent mouthfeel and fine carbonation. Taste includes some light citrus and wheat. It’s well balanced and quite tasty. By far the best American Wheat I have had so far.

12 oz. bottle from John’s Grocery (Iowa City, IA). Pours a pretty cloudy bright orange with minimal head that quickly dissipates. Smells of malt and some light citrus notes. Taste is a very nice yeastiness that is followed by a small citrus bight. Finish is a small citrus bite and a wheaty smooth aftertaste. Well balanced wheat beer that is enjoyable and refreshing.

Hazy golden color with a white head. The taste is full of earthy hops and a decent bit of malt. Citrus flavors make themselves known throughout the taste and aroma. Easy to drink.

April 2006 - This beer poured light, cloudy yellow with nice head and outstanding lacing. Aroma was wheaty and yeasty with some oranges (citrus hops are "in" this year, it’s seeming every beer I try is orange/citrus lately!). The flavor was orangey sweet, even more than the wheaty base...smooth and extremely drinkable. For an American Wheat (not my favorite wheat style by a long shot), this isn’t bad. The citrusy hopy make it stand out from the others and I do like the splash of orange. Not as "wheaty" as I would like (which is my common complaint against this style).

Thanks to Pailhead for this beer.

Poured a cloudy golden with a small fizzy off-white head. Sweet aroma of clove, a touch of banana, caramel, and lemon. Taste is light citrus, grass, a bit of sugary sweetness and lots of dry toffee. Reasonably full body with good carbonation for the style. Goes down very well for the style, even though it’s still a style that fails to impress me.

Slightly hazy honey color with a medium white head. Crisp spicy aroma. Spicy hops taste. The finish and aftertaste turns dry and bitter. Reminds me more of a Kolsch.
