Bottle. A heavy honey wheat bread smell. A great mild bodied wheat ale with a nice touch of honey.

Bottle poured a cloudy gold with a small lasting white head. Aromas of wheat, light honey and a hint of citrus. Palate was light bodied and smooth. Flavors of wheat, yeast and light honey with a smooth lightly sweet finish.

Classic Hefe/Wit appearance, cloudy and kind of hazy white. Very malty with some orange / apricot flavours. A little bitterness and and also sweetness from the honey finish off.

Sweet nose on this light amber pour at the brewery. Sweet malt and balanced hops with hints of honey.

12 oz bottle. Pours a glowing hazy golden orange with a fizzy white head that quickly dissipates to a small collar that leaves a little lacing.

The aroma is lots of sweet honey with earthy vegetal notes.

The flavor is some sweet honey and earthy grains. The mouthfeel is medium bodied but pretty washed out and watery.

Overall, this is a pretty bland beer. Not offensive and slightly better than macros, but not something I would seek out.
