Bottle thanks to tronraner. Clear yellow, frothy sticky white foam. Aroma is spicy, lemony, lightly tart. Taste is lemon, light wheatiness, more citrus and oranges.

From a mix 12 pack. Yeas, I bought a 12 pack for this one rating. To quickly sum up, it clean and crisp, some citrus, blah blah blah. Not a bad beer, but I simply don’t understand the point of this style.

12 oz bottle. Pours very pale straw yellow with slight white head. The aroma is pretty strong lemon, some hay, a hint of banana, and a weird peach Jolly Rancher note. The flavor is heavy on the "lemon essence" as well, leaving not a whole lot else. There’s a dry wheat tone that sneaks into the finish that reminds me it’s beer. It is refreshing, just not particularly well made.

Pours clear gold into a Sam glass. Head quickly dissipates to nothing. Stale wheat malt and lemon aromas. Crisp upfront turning to a lasting lemon candy sandwich finish.

Has a strange taste of lemonade mixed with gin. Not sure I can take more then one.

Clear yellow pour with one finger white head that dissipates rather quickly. Aroma is grainy malt, and a slight citrus hint. Lemon is most evident. Flavor is loaded wih lemon and a dryish sweetness- almost reminiscent of lemonade. Palate is quite thin, but crisp and refreshing. Very unique.

Golden pour with a small head. Aroma has lots of wheat and grain, with a touch of lemony ctirus. Flavor is very lemony, but this is a style of beer I’ve never had before- very intriguing and heavy carbonation, and floral aspects intertwine with the lemon taste. A fitting brew in a summer mixer, great for the season.
