Bottle sample at Brevard County Beer Fest--Orange color beer with no real head. Aroma of wheat and bananas. Light carbonation and fruity wheat was in the taste, with a fizzy finish.

Draft. Pours hazy golden with some orange hue, along with a white head. Spicy, lemon, and yeast aroma. Flavor of orange zest, lemon, apple balance by a spicy hop bitterness. Clean thirst quenching finish. Not normally a fan of american wheats, but this one is a an old staple and favorite of mine. The european ingredients is probably why I like this one so much. Great summer seasonal.

12oz bottle courtesy of iconoklaztor, thanks! The color is a very light but cloudy orange. It smells more like a pale ale than a wheat beer as described on the label. The taste definitely reveals the wheat and makes for a nice ale. This is very drinkable and a perfect summer offering that I am glad to have tried.

12oz bottle. cloudy orange or yellow color - depending how you look at it. with small white head. smells yeasty with slight citrus and wheat. tastes like total cereal - the wheat obviously. also some hops, light citrus and some spices. this rates pretty highly within my wheat ale experience. a good baseline for what I expect out of the style.

Maybe a bit too much citrus, but like it a lot. I just don’t understand the "cult status" it seems to enjoy to many who have raved about it to me. I want to try it sometime on tap, also want to try it side-by side with their Amber Ale, Pale Ale, and Winter Ales. I think I’ll buy up a fresh 6 pack about the time the Winter Ale comes out, or maybe make a pilgrimage to their Cafe in K-Zoo.

Pours cloudy gold, decent head and lacing. Smooth flavor, slightly hoppy, definite wheat notes. Good stuff.

A very good beer. Very smooth with a perfect balance. A great ale for summer or anytime really.
