One of my favorite wheat beers. Unfortunately, it’s tough to get my hands on it while I’m at school, so I have to get it when I go home to MI for the summers. Good carbonation. The wheat comes out nicely in the finish. Not bad if you add a lemon slice, either.

Hazy golden colour with a thin white head. Very subtle yeastie aroma mixed with a small amount of citrus. Served without a lemon; Medium to full-bodied; Great wheat & yeast taste...whle the yeast is subtle, the body shows through, and the malt is noticeable as well. Not too many crazy characteristics to mention, but this beer is one of the best wheats i've ever had...regardless of country. I had mine from a 16 ounce glass served on draught at the Polish Village Cafe in Hamtramck, Michigan on 14-August-2003.

Ah the lucky all sevens rating. poured and opaque amber hue with a thin white head which had okay retention. A nice fruity aroma with nice apricot and peach notes, and some spice. Good malt flavor nice balance between fruit and wheat. Finished with a sweet alcohol taste. Full bodied.

Golden yellow appearance with a small white head. Flavor is with a small amount of bread blended with a nice belgian spice and straw throughout. This is one of my favorite wheats.

RERATE: I'm not a huge wheat fan, but this is one I truly enjoy. I'm always sad to see it go out of season! The aroma is fairly typical wheat, but not overpowering. As far as "weaknesses" go, the aroma is this beer's weakest point. The look of the beer is very nice, with a deep gold color. The flavor is crisp, has some depth, and finishes very nicely. A great beer for summer!

Light gold color. Medium head. Aroma is fruity and sweet. A medium bodied American Wheat ale. Malts are fruity and slightly sweet. Hops are fairly floral. Well balanced. Very nice wheat beer. Light and refreshing. Flavorful wheat beer. Very nice. Mild tasting yet, so well constructed wheat beer. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.
