Commercial Description:
A tribute to the highly drinkable ""every day"" beers from French-speaking Belgium. Contains Belgian two-row pale malt and 7% wheat. This beer is lightly filtered with an earthy, spicy hop character from imported Styrian Goldings hops and a beautiful rich creamy head from the wheat. Dry quenching finish achieved by use of the traditional sour mash process

Pours a golden color with a large fluffy white head. Nice bit of hops in the aroma, citrusy, with grass-like notes. Pretty hoppy on the tongue, some sweetness, and slightly earthy. Watery palate with a dry finish. Nothing great, but I’d drink it again.

(Bottle) A good, if somewhat unremarkable beer. I am never quite sure what to expect from beers marketed as "summer ales" and I tend to be disappointed in them. This beer was less malty and more hoppy. I did not really notice any influence of the wheat--and thankfully no sourness. I’ve had more or less good experiences with Flying Fish Brewing Co. but in my opinion, this is not among their best beers.

Extremely fresh. Bottles two weeks ago. Crisp and light with a little hops that linger a bit. Sweet light malt taste upfront. A little grassy spice taste that bothers me a bit. A little like dirt and leaves and a mixture of spices.

My friend loves this shit. Good for hot summer days. Light and refreshing. Some hop flavor. Mostly water. Good replacement.

12oz bottle. Poured out a nice golden color with a big lacing off white head. The nose offered floral hops, some citrus, and tineiest amount of spice, nearly nonexistent. This drinks very easy, again with floral hops leading the way, some bitterness, tiny amount of malt, and not much else. A crisp mouthfeel, and some bitter hops lingering on the palate.

Bottle found in the fridge. Pours out a hazy light golden color with a moderate white head, well carbonated. Aroma of some grassy and citrus hops with slight fruit. Taste is refreshing, citrus and grassy notes in the flavor with some underlying earthy tones and maybe even some fruit. Definitely drinkable.

Nice spices, slightly fruity. Crisp. Overal, however, watery. Lacks body.
