Pretty average wheat in every sense. A little yeast, a little fruit yada yada yada.

Tap at Buffalo Wild Wings Chanhassen. Initially served with an orange wedge until I removed it. Hazy gold with short lived head, no lace. The aroma was slightly spiced, but nothing stood out. The flavor was somewhat wheat like, but not anything special. The palate is what I really enjoyed as it was very refreshing and washed down the hot sauce.

Bottle. Poured hazy orange with thick lasting white head. Faint citrus aroma with a whiff of coriander. A little more coriander in the rather bland and flat flavour. Almost no finish, a bit of hop and that’s it.

Light and spritzy with a nice light citric tartness. Pours a cloudy maize with a smallish white head and decent lacing. Coriander is present but not dominant in aroma. Lemony throughout with a touch of hops at the end. Shows its ale character through resonant fruitiness. SOme peachy/apricot in there as well. A good hot summer quencher.

Pours cloudy yellow with a white head. Aroma is orange, citrus, and wheat. The orange really stands out. Flavor is a sweet orange of a medium strength with wheat. Body is very good for the style. Very smooth with little bitterness.

Not bad.... especially for a "Miller-micro". Effervescence of Apple Jacks on this one all around, beginning with the nose, and ending with the aromatic finish. Pours cloudy orange-straw with a sudsy head and minimal lace. The flavors have some grain and cereals, with lemony-citrus leading to a zesty, dry finish. There feels to be some yeast in the content, as well as an ever-persistent orange flavor. Honestly, whether it’s natural or artificial, I don’t know that it matters. The mouthfeel lends a summer sensation, and would make an excellent session brew. I’m glad I picked this one up. I’m more impressed than I thought I’d be.

Hazy, tan, with a massive white head. Fruity aroma, with clear citrus notes. Sweet and fruity, almost like juice. In fact, reminds me of a kid’s fruit flavored cereal.

Poured into a tulip glass. Hazy unfiltered apple juice color, with an off-white head of about a finger. Quite fizzy and short-lived. No lacing. Aroma is blueberry pancake batter, with a limey twang. Flavor is faint blueberry, and there’s no real wheat influence that I can taste. The lime is more subdued in the flavor. Distinctly summery, but I don’t know if this is distinctly a witbier. Finish is exceedingly watery. If you poured tonic water into a bowl of fruity pebbles, it would taste like this beer. Mouthfeel is overcarbonated but clean. Not much body here. Easy to drink, refreshing, but boring.
