A bit different than your typical wheat. Gold/copper colored, very nice hoppiness, not overpowering at all, but refreshing. Citrus flavor for once is faint, unlike many other wheats. It drinks very easily, and is quite a good change of pace amongst wheat beers! A winner from a great brewery!

From a bottle (though I’ve had it on tap, too) - It poured a nice autumn gold hue, with tight lacing in the tall head, snd the aroma wasn’t as "banana-esque" as like in my wheat beers. Still, the flavor was good, and I recommend this beer.

I can't wait until the summer to have this in it's natural environment: a cookout.

Very murky yellow/gold body with a fluffy, thick white head. Lemony hops and bready nose. Very nice, sweet flavor. I’m usually not a wheat fan but this is pretty good. Also aquired from a random trade in Coventry last weekend.

Creamy, yeasty, banana, and light spice. Creamy mouthfeel with citrus, vanilla and banana flavors. Finish is long enough to make this a great summer session beer!

I was surprized to find out this was a wheat ale, the label not giving away any of the ingredients. This has a righteous hopped aroma with a thick red/tan head, a pleasant bitterness followed by a citric aftertaste. No alcohol flavor, just solid refreshment.

Staple summer drinking in Michigan. Despite all the great Bell’s, this is usually the only one on tap in the Detroit-Metro area. Still, it’s what you need on a summer day.
