This beer was pretty good. It had a nice look to it. Very cloudy, and yellow/orange. The palate was decent. The beer was nice and thick and had a nice wheat ale palate. It wasn’t too thick, and definitely not too thin. The only problem I have with this beer is that something tastes weird. The beer is unusually sweet. Tastes like the bar, or the brewers added some sweetner to make the beer taste better. I cannot trust the flavor. I think the flavor was nice and citrusy. In fact, this beer had a very strong taste to it. It was like drinking friggin Tropicana orange juice. I must say everything was fine except for the fact that I think they are cheating on the flavor a little bit. Otherwise, this is a good looking a smooth beer, but watch out for that suspicious taste .

Tap. Sampled at Orlando Ale House. Hazy golden colored and served with very little head. The aroma is fresh and I guess a little citrusy. The beer tastes very wheaty with a sharp citrusy, lemon taste that is borderline dishwater or chemicals. This beer is not very good and I doubt I’ll get it again, even on a hot day.

12 oz bottle-Pours a cloudy yellow color w/a moderate white head. Sweet aroma, had a bartender tell me every time he pours one it reminds him of Fruity Pebbles! Sweet, spicy, citrus flavor w/a strong floral hop flavor. Kind of a typical wheat, but maybe a little crisper, cleaner. It’s a nice change of pace/summer beer, but I wouldn’t drink it all the time.

On tap. A hazy golden color. Aroma of citrus and blueberry. Much too sweet, nothing to balance the sweetness. Ugh.

Opaque yellow orange color with a foamy white head. The aroma is light with a faint grassy wheat field feel to it. The taste is very wheat like with a bunch of fruit character. I can see how this would be popular with the ladies.

Draft - I remember when Leinenkugel made an outstanding Wheat Beer(1997). This beer is gross. I don’t want to drink a beer that tastes like stripper perfume smells.

Hazy orange taste with obvious coriander and maybe a touch of peach and ginger abounding. It started off quite nice but ended on a rather mediocre note. There is nothing unpleasant here though. Easy session beer.

hazy golden appearance with solid white head. nose is of strong coriander. flavor has the esters of a wheat beer but the coriander sweetens the beer too much and is overpowering. almost undrinkable due to the sweetness
