In my opinion, as someone who is not a big fan of wheat ales, i think this is a great beer. INtense but not overpowering taste with a clean finish that lingers.

fruity pebbles in a glass. my wife loved it. I did not enjoy it as much. Definitely one for the ladies.

It has a cloudy yellow color to it with little head. It smelled like a fruity cereal with a hint of alcohol, and that was what it tasted like too. The mouthfeel was a bit thin but not pathetically so. The added fruit flavor is just too much though.

Complex and fruity... smooth and drinkable. Could session this with ease. Can get a little old after a couple though.

12oz. bottle. Pours like a hefe but with a little more peach color to it. Thin white head that leaves a little bit of lace on the glass. I had a few particulates in the glass as well, unfiltered I guess. Smells sweet with a few normal beer smells i.e. malt or hops. Smells of citrus and summer fruit. Tastes great a little bit of malt all the way through but a lot of fruit flavors. It’s like a citrus taste but with barely any acidity to it. Not quite peach flavored though. Smooth on the palate, nice carbonation and even though it’s only 4.7%abv it’s still got a little alcohol on the back of the tongue. Drink this until you get full.

On tap TD Banknorth Garden Bruins game. Cloudy. Fruity taste. Reminded me of Blue moon. Not worth the $7 I paid for it. Finished it and found a guy selling Molson Canadian on tap. Bruins lost. Drat.

Tastes exactly like fruity pebbles, but it’s actually pretty good. Very drinkable, goes down clean and smooth.

Great beer, drank out of a bottle and off tap. Good with an orange or without. Hard to find at bars around College towns but not so much anywhere else.
