Bottled@The Rake, London. Golden colour, lots of particles floating around, mediumsized white head. Aroma is spices, wheat, US hops and some mild notes of earh. Flavour is citrus fruits, herbal notes and quite a lot of grass and mild spices.

A respectable attempt at a wheat beer by the big guys, but in an underhanded way. It pours a slightly hazy gold color with an aroma of citrus, but upon tasting it reveals something different. The flavor gives a hint of citrus and spice, but also some corn and rice. If served with a piece off ruit, however, this taste is masked well. I will avoid it simply because it is a Coors beer, and Coors should take ownership of it and stamp their name on it.

Slight citrus aroma with a hazy orange pour with little bits of orange zest and white head. Has a spiced and citrus taste, which is surprisingly complex for a macro, and with a sweet finish. A pretty good attempt at a Belgian white from Coors of all people, but still obviously leaves much to be desired.

Murky looking brew with rather nice aroma and enjoyable on the palate. Sort of light but smooth and really drinkable. I actually like this a lot.Very,very good on tap with some fruit eh.

Overall a decent attempt at a belgian from a macro. Smells average for a belgian, nothing to strong but meets standards. Some wheat tastes there with a bit of an orange citrus, but an overwhelming carbonic sting destroys any semblance of enjoyment there. A shame, this would have been quality without it, but carbonation once again takes hold of a hopeful macro and flushes it down the toilet.

Good solid introduction to the classes of beer outside of BMC. I enjoy the light taste, though the bready feeling makes me want to change brews before I "get full". Not too much to say, some wheat, a little citrus and that’s all there is. I’d recommends for anyone who wants to get someone drinking something new.

22 ounce bottle. Pours a cloudy orange with a nice, large, off white head. Taste and aroma are of wheat and citrus. Is fairly sweet. For the price, this is a really nice beer, that is very easy to drink and enjoy.

Tasted somewhere along my trip through the States.
Pretty dull, but drinkable white beer.
