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

Drinkable, I found it to be fair on the malt side and some hops noticeable. Not my favorite, but then neither is Bud.

Had this one bottled in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. Dark yellow pour with a nice lacey white head. Wheaty, malty nose with a lemon and banana nose, some fruitiness and a mild finish. Good bite.

Mine had no head at all, but was a rich full golden color; with any head at all it would have gotten a 5 on apperance. Taste is fruity and heavily scented with floral hops. I did not detect much wheat in the flavor, but some of the characteristic yeast taste that I associate with Belgian wheat ales was there. Indeed, a nice summer beer, though there are many German wheats that I would take first!

OBF 2004. Yellow. Light lemon and sour soap nose. Fizzy lemon and yeast, light and stale in the finish. Tart wheat in there as well. Decent.

"Nice summer beer, poured a nice golden color with an average white head. Just a little lacing. Tasted of citrus, not to strong and some hops, very well balanced beer. WOuld have again. "

Pours clear with a golden apple juice color. There is minimal smell with a faint hint of fruit and spice. Taste of lemon and apples with aspects of wheat, rye, and grass. Very refreshing for a summer day, reminds me of being outdoors.
