This cloudy golden ale poured with a decent off-white head and a lemon aroma. There is a very unique flavor consisting of wheat, lemon, coriander and a hoppy finish. Very refreshing and tasty.

pours a cloudy yellow gold with a nice two finger creamy white head. aroma is smooth malty wheat, lemon, and a touch of hops. has a light to medium body with good lacing and carbonation. flavor is the same as aroma with some fruity pebbles. it has a nice creamy mouth-feel and not bad i guess as a whole.

You can almost see through it just a little hazy like a wheat beer should be. Artificially strong aroma. Blandish taste where the flavor does not quite come through. Light fruit taste also.

I found this beer once on sale really cheap in 1/2 barrels and served it at a party instead of the more expensive Miller Lite. Everyone laughed at the beer, saying it had the aftertaste of fruit loops cereal. tastes good, but they could have worked on the aftertaste. nothign natural about it, so it feels forced.

Couldn’t even finish the bottle on this one. Smell was bitter and taste was worse. Reminded me of black licorice.

Bottle. Pours hazy orange with a quickly dissipating white head. Nose is surprisingly good with coriander, ginger, and an abundance of wheat. The flavor is slightly less impressive but still decent with strong flavors of wheat, coriander, a touch of tart orange, and a strange sweetness, with notes of ginger and more coriander. Light bodied with a dry finish.
