Hazy orange in color with beige head. Aroma is caramel, malt, with notes of fruit. Flavor is caramel with solid hoppy citrus notes. Finish is slightly sweet with a small amount of biterness.

Pours a cloudy amber with a creamy beige head. Nose is of caramel and bakery. Smells yummy! Has a thick, syrupy consistency on the palate. Feels like melted caramel in the mouth. Very little malt or hops. Not much flavor at all. This shit looks, smells, and even feels wonderful. But it has almost no taste. WTF? WTF indeed!

Bottle poured a cloudy amber with a lasting amber head. Aromas of wheat, carmel and light citrus. Palate was light to medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of wheat, carmel, light orange and a hint of earthiness with a smooth bready finish.

Poured a pale amber, with a surprisingly big, creamy head. Cloudy in appearance: more like upper atmospheric clouds than fog. Very little to speak of taste wise. Bready, malt taste. Hops don’t really deliver, as the name seems to promise.

Light amber color with a slight haze and medium white head. The aroma has a decent, juicy ripe fruitiness with a light hint of spicy, grassy hops. (This beer has the best hop presence of anything I’ve had from Anheuser-Busch; nothing spectacular, but a step in the right direction.) It’s not too shabby on flavor- toasty, with caramel malt that forms a nice balance with the light sprucey hop bitterness. Actually quite well-rounded. The body is light to medium and not nearly as thin as AB’s other wheat beers. A reasonable brew with good drinkability.

Another boring wheat beer. Pours hazy gold so orange-ish with a semi-thin head. Aroma is all wheat and some junk grains(yeah and unfiltered beer with corn/rice...) Flavor bland some malts and a bitter hop. Metallic finish like most of these Michelob beers.

Clear golden color. Aroma is mainly malts and wheat. Taste is a little sweet. Flavors are malts, wheat, and slight caramel. Has a sweeter malt aftertaste. I must admit that this is a little better than I expected.
