Cloudy yellow body with a few splashes of sun and copper. Head is very small, white and gone in no time. Smell is fragrant citrus leaves, cotton, butter, sugar and also of yeast. Smells almost like a bag of kettle popped corn. Taste is sweet and bright and could almost be mistaken as a belgian double. The clarity of the flavors are excellent allowing my taste buds to harvest curaco, lemon and lime zest, bubble gum flavored sugars, clove, yeast and alcohol. Taste finishes with a grapefruit-like, dry hop ending. Very good and certainly a top favorite of this style. Given to me by my great friend jbg9348.

Tap, a very decent wheat. Thick orange/yellow beer with a nice cloud. Taste was wheaty but suprisingly crisp.

Botlle coutesy of Stegosaurus. I think I enjoyed this more then he did. Typical hazy pour for a wheat beer. Spice, wheat were detected in both the nose and the palate. By far not the best wheat beer , a little thin but a good relaxing beer.

Very different for americans, and very interesting. I don’t like bottle conditioned ales all that much, but this one is above the average.

Without a doubt the best American wheat I’ve ever had. Crisp, fruity, orangey, juicy, with a spiciness from the Saaz that lent a zip to the otherwise clean aftertaste. Refreshing and tart even without the usual yeasty notes of the hefes I love.

Tap at Slow’s in Motown: Murky & dirty look with a stiff head. The aroma is malty with a mild yeast flavor. The finish is real nice. It seems to have much more body than your average American wheat. Well done!

Hazy, glowing orange with a small white head. Orange, citrus, fresh hops, light wheat, and yeast in the aroma. Full bodied with noticeable carbonation. Orange, light citrus hops, yeast, and spice in the flavor. A very enjoyable, and thoroughly refreshing summer brew.

Pours cloudy, icy golden, small head, good lacing. Sweet wheat, honey, and sugar aroma. Flavor is intense, sweet wheat malt, orange peel, and sugar. Beer is thin but adhesive.. Flavor starts with a good bite. Finish is mildly flavorful like the beer, short, and good.
