pours a very cloudy pale yellow with a medium white head, some lacing.
smell of fruit, bread-dough, some citrus, a whiff of licorice, spice.
taste of malt, wheat, licorice, touch of citrus, spice.
overall a "different" beer, drinkable but don’t think that i would have more than one in a sitting.

12oz bottle. Cloudy, dark yellow pour, with a little orange tinge. Slightly sweet lemony aroma. Sweet citrus flavor as well, a little hint of banana as well. Not too bad.

Pours out a cloudy golden/ light orange color with a moderate white head. Aroma is of some fruit, citrus and that typical wheat aroma. Taste is refreshing, citrus with some blueberry and other fruity notes. Slight spice here and there. Not a fan of wheats, but this isn’t bad

Not bad. Pours out a nice cloudy yellow color with a medium white head. Aroma is full of wheat and maybe a hint of cirtrus. flavor was somewhat wheaty, but was very thin and uneventful. I like this beer and certainly enjoyed it on the porch yesterday. Great summer brew.

i find this to be an interesting combination of a sweet lemony and fruity style beer and wheat. the grain is honest and right in the middle. the substance is ok. at least it’s right out there. brewers in europe concoct a semi-interesting mystery and we pay double +. by nature this would be a one or two beer deal. i like loud sometimes.

12 oz. bottle. not what I expected from an Amer. Wheat. aroma and flavor had a bunch of orange in it, not the usual yeast, lemon etc. still an easy drink and would be good on a hot summer day.

This beer could be very refreshing. I just can’t get past the moldy celery flavor that comes from the coriander that they use.

12 oz bottle: Hazy golden w/ a lasting off white head. The coriander is immediately apparent in the nose, followed by a clean wheat aroma. Flavor is remeniscent of liquid Trix! Dry finish, lingering wheat malt and coriander. Highly carbonated, thin, but not watery m/f, and a bit on the dry side. Overall not an outstanding beer, but probably a good summer time refresher! Good for what it is!
