pours a clear golden yellow with a one finger white fluffy head. aroma is grain, honey, malt and hops in that order of strength. has a light body with ok lacing and good carbonation. flavor is the same as aroma. has a small dry aftertaste and there is an aroma and flavor of coriander. it’s descent and definitely a summer slammer. the aroma and flavor do get a bit stronger as it warms. the coriander sits on the tongue and grows a little in strength in the aftertaste. i am also getting a little lemon citrus in the flavor as well. the honey comes out a little bit more in the aroma.

Bottle. Pours a sunshine gold color with a medium off-white head. Aroma is predominantly citrus and slightly sweet. It has a light summery flavor, with citrus, malt, hops. The honey is there, but is in the background. Thin mouthfeel. Good, but not great.

Nice nose to this stuff. The honey comes through on the pallet with some some sour/citrus fruit. Malt is decent, very clean with a spicey, light hop dryness to it. Poundable on a hot day, very refreshing.

Bottle from beeronthewall. Pours gold with off-white head. Nose is citrus, mild honey, tart fruit, grainy malt, hops. Tastes crisp, with some citrus, pale malt, hops, and light fruit. Decent.

~Pours pale golden with diminishing head. ~Sour wheat and honey scent. ~Sour taste with wheat and light honey. ~Crisp clean palate. ~Easy drinking summer beer. A bit boring.
