By far one of the best summer ale's out there. Foggy appearance but it has a great taste. The bottle is pretty cool, too.

Bottle pours a hazy yellow with a big white head and good lace. The aroma is almost Belgian, spicy, clove, citrus, and hops. The flavor is citrus, spicy, a touch of clove, and more hops than I expect in style. The palate is rich, made more so by the agitation of a lots of sediment and somewhat carbonated. Overall, this is pretty awesome.

A fine beer to drink any time any place. It has a rutty orange cloudy appearance, but taste outstanding. A very well balanced brew. Great head good balance of hops and malt with a touch of orange rine.

A great summer beer, very similar to the Summit Scandia beer that was on tap last summer. Nice hoppy, sweetness to this. Had this back in May and forgot to rate it...

On tap at Legends - Notre Dame. Poured a cloudy golden color with a fairly well-sustained white head. Aroma was citrusy, with some grass noted. Beer was well-carbonated, and the flaver came mostly from citrusy, grassy, and wheaty hops. Light-to-medium malt backbone. Pleasant hop finish.

Pours a golden orange into a weizen glass. One finger head dissipates quickly with minimal lacing. Aroma is oranges with a definite hint of lemon. Taste is primarily wheat that goes to a grass with a strong orange aftertaste. Mouthfeel is thin and watery for a wheat. Very light and extremely sessionable.

Probably my favorite beer in the summer...much more flavor and aroma than an typical wheat beer, but just a refreshing on a warm summer day. Very smooth, with subtle notes of hops and malt in both aroma and flavor. Good underlying citrus notes, not overpowering...just a nice refreshing beer from start to finish. Goes great with a slice of orange (much better than using a lemon...the orange brings out the flavor).

Cloudy gold color. Aroma of wheat and hops. Flavor of wheat and citrus with some hops. I can see why some call this the perfect summer beer. Looking forward to enjoying many more of these in the coming months in Ann Arbor!
