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.

Cloudy orange pour with an initially huge fizzy head that recedes to a slight film. Aroma is huge on orange with a bit of coriander. Crazy orange flavor, almost like drinking a sunkist soda. I’m not sure if it’s really that sweet and citrusy without adding some kind of artificial flavor or not. Somewhat tart, some rasberries in there and lively carbonation. Hell, I don’t care, I like it!

Had this beer while in Michigan last year, and recently purchased a six pack. Decent head, nice aroma, if it were unfiltered, it would be a great heffy. Surprisingly good taste, although I prefer draft (only in MI), very drinkable, and MUCH better than the mass produced beer. The label decribes is as a sunset in the great north woods... I couldn’t agree more.

Six pack from the Kroger on Pioneer and Bowen. Wheat isn’t my favorite, but I still think it could be better.

Not really much of "wheat" beer, but interesting nonetheless. Had a citrusy and blueberry aroma. Taste upfront had a rather light wheat malt presence, but the strong blueberry finish is really something else. That’s the main feature of this beer, and it’s the best part really. Not many beers taste like that. Mouthfeel was pretty thin. Not my thing, but I won’t forget that blueberry taste.

Bottle. Pours a very cloudy off yellow color with a medium white frothy head. The aroma is a pungent orange with hints of citrus and wheat. Nice lacing that stays. The taste is a very strong orange/citrus taste with a crisp finish.

Cloudy pale straw color with a snow-white head and lacing. The nose has lots of orange and coriander with a hint of licorice. The flavor is the same. Light in body. Smooth in texture. Not great but not bad either.
