A pretty average beer across the board. Yellow pour with a minimal white head. Aroma of honey and some citrus. Taste is a little honey and a little wheat, not enough for me, who likes wheat beers.

I like honey beers... I like Blue Moon... but something about this didn’t sit right. Nothing special.

From the Jug at the GABF Colorado Convention Center, Denver 10/10/2008 Floral aroma. Clear golden coloured smooth on the palate fruity and hoppy with a little dryness in a crisp and creamy finish.

(bottle - 12 oz) Clear gold color with a fizzy white head. Aroma is light and slightly sweet with some dry hops and wheat. Flavor is sweet with some hints of honey at the beginning that gives way to a very light wheat middle and a sweet and grainy finish. Couldn’t taste any orange peel like it claimed.

Bottle: Good honey taste, though not as strong as some. Very smooth and easy to drink. A mid level wheat ale.

On the heels of Stella and didn’t compare quite as well. More metallic, more adjuncty it seems - not a surprise given the brewery and country. Good for summer drinking when you’re at ease and not in the mood to be challenged. I guess I noticed the touch of "honey."

A gentle beer, very drinkable. Honey notes aren’t sticky sweet and the beer isn’t cloying. On the other side of the equation, the beer is mild throughout. Besides some aggressive citrus on the nose, it lacks some of the flavors that ought to pull the honey out of the beer -- caramel, coriander, and lavender. Full and fresh-tasting, though.

Pretty typical for an American wheat, yet for some reason it really hits the spot on a hot day. Thirst quenching? Yep. Maybe my mood made it more enjoyable that it really was, but I liked it.

The body is a clear golden color, small bubbles collecting at the bottom of my glass, and a tight white head sits atop. Aroma is sweet, light grass and honeyish. No noticeable flaws, but it was cold. Flavor is sweet, easy to detect the honey but I didn’t get any orange notes. Weak, but nothing that caused me to wretch while drinking it. Two of these went down pretty easy.
