Hazy yellow-orange with a white head. Malty aroma with cirus and spice. Flavor is subtle, but with a nice refreshing, spicy, lightly hoppy finish. Excellent summer beer. Always has a special place in my heart as the first beer I really liked.

Dec 18, 2009 Gorgeous appearance of pale gold with slight haze, and mountainous rocky white head that dissipates slowly and leaves behind an abundance of lace. Fresh beer!
Nose has light fruit and a clean grain aroma that is subdued.
Palate has a lightly sweet wheat component with balancing citrus to give it some complexity. Finish is somewhat fruity-tart, in a good way, and is rather easy drinking.

Dec 16, 2009 On tap @ Papago for the Bells launch party. Pours cloudy gold with a soft white head. Aroma smells of wheat bread, orange peel, yeast and bubblegum. Flavor shows the same and is primarily malt driven with additional notes of cookie dough. Overall body is moderate and creamy with soft carbonation. Finish is short. Wheat beers don’t typically knock my socks off, but this is definately a well balanced and expressive example.

Dec 10, 2009 A: Hazy golden yellow as you would expect from a wheat beer. There is a nice head upon the pour made up of millions of tiny bubbles which quickly die down.
S: There is a nice yeasty malty character to this brew. Very tiny amounts of orange and lemon can be detected.
T: Not a lot of flavor here. There is a malty flavor with a hint of orange. Nothing to write home about.
M: Light and bubbly.

Dec 2, 2009 Orange with lots of yeast, white foam with solid lacing. . Taste is the normal bland wheat with lots of spiciness, yeast, orange peel. Definitely one of the better wheat beers I’ve tried.

Nov 28, 2009 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.
