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.

Poured from MiniKeg at BCTC thanks to TomDecapolis. Poured cloudy gold in color with a medium sized white head. Aroma of wheat, orange peel, bread, lemongrass. Tastes of wheat, light citrus, lemongrass, and mildly spiced. This is a great session beer for a hot day. Nice.

A defining beer for summer. Tastes a little different each year they brew it. At its best it pours a dark golden orange with a light head. Tastes like citrus with some seriously flavorful but not overpowering hops. Best on tap... Bottles tend to differ in quality from April to October. Always seems to taste best to me around June for some reason.

Bottle. Moderate aromas of light bread and dough, light notes of lemon and pear. Head is frothy white, with good to fair lacing and is mostly lasting. Color is hazy but sparkling, amber with an orange tint and there’s teeny tiny particles. Flavor starts lightly sweet and moderately acidic, then finishes lightly sweet and very lightly bitter. Palate is medium, creamy and has a soft carbonation. It has a fantastic clean finish. Finally a decent wheat beer. This was really above my expectations. Cheers Bell’s.

Pours a cloudy amber color with some small particules floating about. Foamy white head that leaves some lcing. Aroma of fruit and yeast. Love the flavor of this one. Sweet with some spice. Light carbnonation. Very refresing beer.

Pours a slightly hazy golden orange with a thick white head. Aroma of wheat, citrus, and yeast. Flavor is wonderfullly refreshing with a slight sweetness. I am not a big fan of this category of beers, but this takes the cake for me.

The definition of summer for me. A classic wheat beer. Perhaps it isn’t the absolute pinnacle of the style but it sure is good. Every part of this beer is reminiscent of the season. The palate and flavor profile is bright, wheaty, and pleasantly citrusy. Citrus is non-contrived and adds plenty to an already nuanced beer. Take the Blue Moon away from your friends and hand them this.
