Strong aroma that was sort of citrus/fruity. Quickly dissipating head. Lovely golden color with a crisp clean taste that has an odd sharpness with noticeable carbonation. Finishes clean and light. A great brew for those summer days!

Pours straw color with a white head. Smells lightly wheaty. Tastes grassy and wheaty with a faint trace of sweet citrus on the finish.

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.

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.

A nice crisp kristallweizen if not a little bland. Aroma was slightly below average. Slight lemon with a husky graininess to it. Has a floral/perfumey aspect that carries through to the flavor. Pour was just as the style suggests. LIght gold, filtered to no end with complete clarity and a nice half finger white head sitting on top. Taste was a little weak. The strong and biting carbonation burns the top of the mouth with lemon and perfume just making an appearance in the aftertaste. Great for the summer.

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.

Pour a very clear golden, no head, slightly effervescent. Aroma of perfumed hand soap and wheat toast. Kind of flabby wheat taste with a light apple juice notes. Mouthfeel is thin and carbonation is little flat. Finish is bland. Would be better with a dryer finish and better carbonation.
