Jul 14, 2008 12 oz. single bottle from Total Wine in Huntersville, NC. Pours a dark gold with a small head. Aroma is all citrus. Taste isn’t bad, but there’s nothing too special about this beer. Meh.

May 26, 2008 Not too bad of a beer. Cloudy with no head. Lemony wheat taste with a clean finish.

May 23, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a hazy yellow orange with a medium white head that retains pretty well and laces the glass.
The aroma is lemoney fruit (agave?) and wheat.
The flavor is pretty bland - a little acidic fruit and some metallic malts. It improves some as it warms. The mouthfeel is medium bodied and watery.
Overall, this is not so good. FCB’s Major Tom’s is a much better beer in this style.

Jan 13, 2009 Slightly cloudy amber pour with small head. Decent wheat beer, hopping seems about right, agave gives an interesting note. Somehow it just doesn’t quite all work together. Buy a single not a sixer.

Mar 3, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours hazy yellow with soft fizzy head. Smells of wheat and cactus. Tastes citrusy, wheaty, and a little bit of agave flavor. Sweet aftertaste. Not bad.

Jan 3, 2009 It scores low, and upon first sight appears to be putrid. But in all honesty. I find its not horrible. Ok as a summer beer. Light fruit and spice aromas, notes of malt. palate is a bit syrupy and fruity and a bit sweet , presumably the agave. Light breadiness as well. Not terrible.

Sep 28, 2008 (12oz bottle from Whole Foods on September 28, 2008) First thing, before I get into the rating: INCREDIBLE 2-3 finger head. Bright white, huge, stiff and frothy, leaving splotchy patches of lacing. Nice, steady carbonation. Sweet smelling for a wheat ale, but not like the usual malty, sugary bit. Its flavor is almost nothing what I’d expect from a wheat, but the agave-wheat pairing (in my opinion) is a good combo. They compliment each other nicely, and it seems Breckenridge did their homework. We use agave at home instead of sugar, so I don’t know if I’m biased to the flavor, but this is very well done. The center-back of my tongue was a little active at first. The rest, very enjoyable. Clean and thin, but thick enough on the palate to give it points. I’d drink this any day.
