Sweet Hurricane aroma with some off wheat musk, especially as you first open the bottle. Lightly hazy pear gold, nice label and cap. Lightly briny, fruity, underbittered, very desperately in need of a lemon or lime. Not sweet. Medium to medium light body. No glaring flaws, except for blandness, but if you’re looking for a better wheat at a similar pricepoint, then go with Sam Adams Spring, Leinenkugel’s Sunshine or just plain old Blue Moon.

Oct 5, 2008 Numerous taps including Yard House Scottsdale, Pour 24 in Vegas. Oddly thick nose for a wheat beer - not complex, but actually foggy and thick: pineapple, flour, wheat, orangey passion fruit smell. Flavors of the same with the texture of that large-can pineapple juice we used to mix with in college. Refreshing beer - JUST this side of cloying.

Oct 3, 2008 Bottle. Strong passion fruit, orange and wheat malt aroma. Hazy yellow-brown with minimal head. Passion fruit/pineapple and wheat malt flavor. Nice light beer for the beach.

Sep 21, 2008 Had this on a hot night with wings and nachos. Poured a pale golden color with thin white head that lingered slightly and left okay lacing. Aroma was somewhat fruity, but not overwhelming, and I could still smell the wheat as well. Mouthfeel crisp and refreshing, and the flavor followed the fruity wheat of the nose. Thirst quenching finish of medium duration.
Not a bad summer cooler.

Sep 21, 2008 (Bottle) Thanks to Enniskillen for providing this beer. Cheers Chris? Pours a thin, white frothy head atop a golden body of tiny sediment. Nose of thin Seville oranges: tart, light. An interesting and extremely drinkable brew. The texture is somewhat tonic and the finish of lemon, cardboard and cheese. Rather poor. 5/2/4/1/9

Sep 20, 2008 [1649-20080902] 355mL bottle. Wheaty fruit juice aroma has plastic and floral passionfruit soap notes. Slightly hazy, "Gatorade" yellow lime body with a quick foamy white head. Lots of passionfruit juice in the flavour with a wheat base. Light body is waterly acidic. Would have been hard to say passionfruit if not told first by the bottle, but it has a definite presence which could be better integrated.
