12-oz. Pours a crystal clear pale gold with a light gray froth scattered on top. Very mild sweet nose, smells like honey flavoring a little bit, maybe a hint of orange. Hard to tell, though. Could even be the power of suggestion. Very faint, in any case, and not so natural smelling. Creamy medium body, a little fizzy carb but not much. Some cloying, artificial-tasting sweetness on the mid-palate, honey, toast, and oranges. Not much finish. Not much start or middle, either, really.

I liked it, as a mainstream-variety beer. Almost went down too easily, there’s not much to enjoy and I think the honey helps. Misprinting on some labels detracted from appearance.

Pours thin and yellow with a thin head. Aroma is decent with honey and some malt. Taste is thin, but clean with some orange and honey.

not bad, though there are definitely better wheat beers out there with better flavor profiles. still, if it was low on funds or the store had a really weak selection, this would do in a pinch.

A good crisp summer ale. Pours a hazy yellow. Crisp. Definitely some notes of orange and clover.

12oz bottle served in a shaker. Lightly hazed golden pour with a thin head of off-white foam that quickly disappeared. Minimal, spotty lace. The aroma had wheat, sweet honey, and light citrus. Slightly metallic. The flavor was much the same. Lightly toasted wheat with some more pronounced honey. Sweet but drinkable. Light-bodied. Moderate, crisp carbonation. A mediocre American wheat masked by honey sweetness.

[bottle] Weak aroma of orange and very light malt. Clear orange-gold with only some white wisps and ring on top. Very gentle malt flavour that is a touch spicy and with a cinnamon note. Not offensive but very weak and boring. Well balanced in its gentleness. Light body, crisp fruity finish, medium carbonation.

Overall not bad but a lacked in depth and flavor in my opinion. Little aroma and substance however a nice light snack for the summer time...but not much more.
