On tap at Mellow Mushroom- very light yellow color with a fruity aroma. More fruity than it was wheaty- I was a bit disappointed after all of the local hype about this beer.

Very strange beer. No need to add an oragne, it already tastes like fruity pebbles. To some people, thats great, to me, not so great, but i do have to say its very unique.

12oz bottle. Poured a medium and cloudy golden color with an averaged sized white head. Aromas of wheat, fruity, berries, and lemonade. Very interesting. Tastes of wheat, very light spices, and a trace of berries. Thin body.

It poured a cloudy, straw color with a big, tight-bubbled, white head. The first swallow was light and refreshing and was followed by a lingering, bitter aftertaste. It was light on malt and light on hops; about what I expected in a wheat. Not much of a mouthfeel and the head quickly faded. It was that annoying, lingering, bitter aftertaste that turned me off.

Bottle. Pours average light orange with a respectable head. Aroma of off-banana and bread. Flavor is very berry-like, with hints of banana and stale clove. Average mouthfeel. I’ll pass next time.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy orange with minimal white head. Aroma is very fruity and sweet...kinda like sunscreen. Taste is orange, blueberry, ginger, cinnamon. Very sweet, but with a thin body.

"Leiny’s" my buddy from Milwaukee calls it! Great label. Modest frothy head. Pleasant scent of malt, florals, a touch of herbs. A lively wheat beer - dry and fruity, tartness and tingle, and some cherry cough syrup in the finish. The girls will probably like this fun (but kind of strange) brew.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy yellowish-white body with a soapy white head. Aroma consists of some blueberries, fruit loops, and bread. Very fruity flavour and kind of berry-like tartness. Sharp, refreshing spritzy palate. It’s not too bad.
