#200 for me. Pours hazy yellow with lots of floating yeast; pretty much no head after the fizz from the pour goes away in a few seconds. Aroma is very wheaty and citrusy; nothing too out-of-the-ordinary. But the flavor is just plain unusual; awesome hit of citrus fruitiness, but it’s not as sharp as the typical lemony citrus flavor; it’s more mellow; sort of a more "closed up" flavor than a typical wheat, almost "musky" you might say; touch of banana/clove, vaguely reminiscent of a Belgian, and a slight vanilla/cream taste. Mouthfeel is awesomely full and thick for the style. This is a very cool and unusual beer. I was a bit taken aback from the first sip. Really top-notch wheat beer, and I don’t really like wheat beers; probably my favorite thus far.

Tap. Pours cloudy orange with a light sudsy white head. Smells of fruits and yeast. Tastes of spice, fruit and wheat. Light bitter aftertaste. Goes well with an orange.

Hazy, cloudy pour nice citrus flavor Great summer beer. Michigan’s favorite wheat beer. This is a beer that I really can say no wrong about, it is brewed just down the road and we all know the summer release date for this summer beer.

Very refreshing beer on warm days beside a lake in Northern Michigan. Strong orange citrus taste with a light finish. Served on tap with a large orange slice, but combination of orange tastes is overwhelming at the bottom of the glass. Recommend small slice of orange or nothing at all.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy ruby golden orange color with a large white head. Smells is sweet and fruity with malt and hop notes. Big citrus tones in the aroma and the taste. Not really my type of beer, but it is always nice to have it in the summertime. This one belong in the summer time with friends and sunshine, ALways nice to have this back on the shelves to have at those BBQs

A cloudy yellowish orange with lots of suspended particles swirling around in it. It has a thick white head that left lots of frothy lace.Smell is great with citrus, wheat, and spice. Taste has the wheat, citrus, spice and hops which all make an appearance but none are amazing. Just a little bitter at the end.
