Given free sample while at the moon dog. Light golden hazy pour. Slight citrus aroma. Refreshing taste but not a great belgian style wheat.

This beer has a lot more integrity than your average wheat. Off-white head, with a subtle citrusy aroma. Taste is strong and holds up to the lost drop

Bottle. Smell is fruity, more orange than typical wheat. Slight white head. Taste is orange, with a bit of wheat under. But fruit dominates. Didn’t like it atfirst, but after a six pack have come to like it. Not the best wheat, but not bad, esp if you like an orange-ish fruit wheat.

I’m not even going to use "proper" terms to describe this beer, because I can sum up the taste very easily; "Fruity Pebbles;" yes, the fruity-sugary kid’s cereal. I found one bottle here and again to be enjoyable but could not finish off an entire 6-pack without mixing it up with some "real" beer. This one is okay for a treat every now and again, but is definately not an everyday drinker.

Bottled. Sap back on one of these on my uncles sailboat one afternoon. Cloudy yellow, typical of american wheat, with a modest head. This beer was way too fruity for me, like it was overloaded with orange cream and coriander. Not much bitterness, this beer disappointed me, one dimensional. Like eating a stale fruit mentos.

Typical, bland wheat beer. Cloudy yellow color. Modest wheat aroma and taste. No hops to my taste.

(bottle - 12 oz) Slightly cloudy yellow pour with a puffy white head. Aroma is very fruity, surprisingly so for a wheat beer, with lots of fruit and only a little bit of wheat. Flavor is exactly the same. Lots of blueberries, cherries, and some notes of fruitcake. and a slightly dry finish of wheat and grains. Very odd beer.
