Not a lot of character. They sell a lot this, but the flavor is weak. It does have a nice appearance and a solid aroma. Nice citrus touches.

Excellent summer beer, very light, smooth and has a unique wheat flavor. This is the first time I’ve had a wheat beer and said, "This actually tastes like wheat." Good job guys, I’m just not a huge wheat beer fan.

Poured straw color with medium to small head. Tasted very waterd down with very little taste at all. A decent beer if you like no flavor, it’s a chick beer.

Very pale straw color...thin white head (even with a relatively vigorous pour). Aroma is all malt and honey (lots of honey!) Flavor is somewhat light on the wheat/yeast flavors and more corn and honey. There’s a bit of citrus in there too, but the honey is what dominates for me. Palate is a bit watery for a wheat...making it very easy drinking, but not for a cold day in winter. Nothing phenomenal, but a good ’post yard work’ beer.

Cloudy straw with decent, creamy white head / Light grain and honey nose / Light body, crisp and clean with good finish / Flavors of corn, grain, and lemon with light honey finish / Seems odd to release this summer beer now, at least in Chicago.

12 ounce bottle. Shaker glass. Pale yellow with a small head. Aroma was slightly malty. Flavor was bland with hints of lemon and citrus. Reminded me of Leinenkugels Honey Weiss.

Tall glass on tap on Washington Island in Wisconsin. Light wheat, malt, and citrus aromas. Golden color with a bubbly head. Lemon and wheat flavors. Light, sweet, thirst quenching, easy to dirnk. Crisp and clean.
