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 orange-ish color, seemingly completely unfiltered. Sweet fruity and floral aroma. Palate is quite thick for this style. Orange, grapefruit, and other fruits come to mind in regards to the flavor. Maybe a bit too sweet, but pretty refreshing overall.

Perfect blend of wheat and 2-row, I just drank an ’06 and ’07 back to back and believe me this not one for the cellars. Drink as fresh as possible and you’re in for a treat!

Smells wonderful and pours a cloudy amber with a nice frothy white head. Out standing wheat flavor with just a little extra hops to define it from it German predecessor. Still a little to sweet.

Really nice orange kind of body and white head. Hint of citrus (lime especially) in the aroma. Very nice flavor, just the right amount of sweet and citrus

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.
