My wife drinks this stuff like water. It is just too sweet for me. It tastes like Fruity Pebbles. It isn’t bad for a summer, lawnmower, beer, but it could be a little too sweet for some.

Bottle from a NYC deli. Murky yellow beer, does not look very appetizing. Rather sweet, a little spice, and the whole banana hefe paclage. A bit cloying IMHO, but true to type and far better than the standard US lager.

bottle. this was an odd beer. not much aroma honestly other than some vague yeast and malt aroma. the taste is overpowering with blueberry and lemon, which the label really gave no indication of. leaves a mildly bitter hoppiness. the sour and sweet flavors were balanced at first, but quickly become off kilter. too much fruit up front, not enough wheat, malt or hops in the back. i guess its ok for what it is, but it was not what i would want in a wheat beer at all.

solid beer, tasted like some strawberrys and was very light. tasted bubbly which was enjoyable. I’d call it a solid summer beer, or a solid beer if you’re in the mood for something fruity

Not a bad beer, but after 3 or 4 I am pretty much done with it. The taste is a medium sweetness, with hazy, appearance. Like I said not a bad beer especailly when you what something different for the palate.

Tried this about a month ago, but I will never forget the taste, even though I cannot name it. Pours a bright hazy orange with good head. The aroma (and taste) is of something resembling a sickeningly sweet blueberry/boisenberry/orange/I don’t know jolly rancher. This was way to sweet and weird for me (aroma/taste verified with the rest of the 6-pack). This was a real disappointment for me. A real drain pour.

Very strong fruity taste to it, tastes exactly like Fruity Pebbles. I can see how many wouldn’t like this, as it is very sweet and unusual. Very light and easy to drink, delicious.
