A Sim rate (on tap at the Flyng Saucer Houston): Overwhelming aroma of sherbert and lemon. The flavour is similarly too sweet with loads more sherbert. It tastes fizzy, like a fanta orange soda. Not great for a beer.

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.

Bottle at home thanks to the bopsses. Alround rating: Big serbert character, lemon and orange spitzery over carb hard to drink. Ended up throwing half of it away. No beer character.

(12oz bottle) Pours a pale yellow body with a small white head. Aroma of wheat, artificial sweetener, and light ginger. Flavor of wheat, sweetener, and hops (grassy, orange) with a somewhat dry, chalky finish.

12oz bottle-pours a big foamy to rocky white head and hazy yellow color. Aroma is apricot, lemon zest/lemon meringue. Taste is musty wheat, malt, lemon zest, faint hops. Nice. Light /medium body. Mild carbonation.

Pours a hazy golden bronze with a thin, clingy-lacing white head. Aroma of citrus and berries with some grainy wheat. Body starts with a strange fructose sweetness, some coriander spice and a lot of orange peel. Something is just off here. This isn’t a good American wheat, nor is it a good witbier or hefeweizen. It just tastes sort of artificially citric. Strange...

Bottle... Hazy, pear-colored ale with a small, creamy, white head. Fruity nose... tropical fruits mostly. Not your typical hefeweizen. Odd nose, even for an American wheat, but very nice. No banana or spice. The flavor is tangy, but even more sweet. Fruity, breadsy, perfumey. Light to medium-bodied with lively carbonation. Finishes crisp and lightly tart. Thanks go out to MilkmanDan for bringing the bottle down from Minnesota!

Pours a straw color with a white head. Smells of sweet wheat, some earthy hints, peppery. Tastes of citrus and wheat with a spicy finish.
