Poured golden with a nice head that settled into a light ring. Not much in the nose. Smooth intro with some carbonation in the medium, crisp mouthfeel. Obvious honey and ripe banana in the finish. Some floral notes. Good summer beer. Enjoyable.

Bottle. Hazy orangish golden pour with a thick white head. Mild wheat aroma with a faint orange scent and some noticeable honey. Weak flavor, not much wheat or spice to speak of, honey and orange dominates what taste there is. Body is about right, and it is easy drinking, so its not a complete loss.

Pretty good effort from this big brewer. Thirst quenching sweet wheat ale. Some nice citrus notes. Medium palate.

12oz bottle from Total Wine Tampa. Pours a slightly cloudy golden color with a thin white head that provides minimal glass lacing. Aroma is somewhat sour with notes of bread, citrus and yeast. Watery mouthfeel with little discernible flavors other than slight hints of honey. Fairly uninteresting in terms of aroma, flavor and complexity -- however -- might be a good thirst quencher on a hot summer day.

Appearance: Pours a lightly hazy, yellow body with a small, white head. Smell: Crushed wheat crackers, light citrus, and a vague honeyish scent. There ya go! Taste: Wheat and honey and a middling sweetness. Background taste of orange. Not much in the way of hop flavor or bitterness, though. Same till the finish, which unfortunately just deposits that cloying honey taste on your tongue. Be sure to have a glass of water handy! Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: The standard-issue Blue Moon is acceptable. This, however, is kind of icky.

Presentation: It was poured from a 12oz bottle into a pint glass. It has a hazy golden straw color with a big foamy white head that hangs out and leaves nice lace on the glass. The aroma has a touch of sweet wheat malt and honey with a hint of orange peel. Its flavor has a mild wheat presence with as noticeable sweet honey character. Orange citrus and mild hop bitterness add to the crisp refreshing character. Its light to medium bodied with average carbonation and it has a slightly sweet finish. It’s not overly complex but it gives you a refreshing simple quick hit of flavor on a hot summer day.

Pours a hazy pale golden color with nice big white head. Sweet malty aromas with hints of flowery perfume, citrus, and caramel. Light-medium body with good carbonation and satisfying mouthfeel. The taste is definitely that of wheat, with sweet gram cracker overtones and a gentle finish with suggestions of orange zest and faint anise. Great compliment to grilled lemon-peppered fish.

Pours hazy yellow with small white head. aroma is sweet and malty. flavor is a bit to sweet for my taste but not a total waste of money.
