12 oz bottle thanks to DrBayern - Pours a gorgeous cloudy sunset orange in a weizen glass, with a nice white holding head. Smell is nice and citrusy, with predominantly orange scents, along with light yeasty and hearty wheatiness. Taste is nice, rich and quite full bodied for a wheat. Wheaty thick mouthfeel, but still nice and bubbly and refreshing. Very nice and flavorful for the style.

12 oz bottle, pours a hazy orange color with carbonation bubbles nearly stationary instead of rising to the top. Aroma is sweet and malty and perhaps a bit doughy. Taste is a good mix between spicy, caramel, citrus, and malt. Palate is very smooth and relaxing to drink. Seems well suited for a sunny day. Quality as expected from Bells.

On tap at Capitol Ale House (Virginia) - a rich, hoppy wheat with bready notes - complex and very nice. Also tried a bottle, thanks to Adrian. The aroma was not the best, but it was well-hopped and a little sweet. Robust and flavorful for the style.

Light orange color, citrus and wheat taste and aroma with some spice thrown in. Very crisp and mild. A very good beer. Drinking this beer in December makes me think that summer isn’t too far away.

Pours a murky Amber color. Small white head that goes away rather quick. Nice wheat and sweetness taste. Mild taste of citrus. Much better than most wheat beers. Great beer for those pants-free summer days.

A delicate strong version of a good wheat ale. I would like to compare this to a Blue Moon, another wheat ale that I would like to list as one of my favorites. This brew is great compared though with a richer, more developed taste. Slightly cloudy with a golden head that sparkles. Pours like a river of gold and tastes just as smooth.
