Brewed in the USA !!! (KSBF) Pours a hazy yellow color with a dissipating white head. Aroma is of fruits (citrus)with a malted wheat taste. Not bad, average wheat beer.

Highly drinkable. Cloudy, orangey white color, very pungent aroma of orange and wheat. Great flavor, too. This beer has it all.

Bottle: Pours a cloudy honey must reminiscent of mead. thick shiny white head. Strong nose of tangerines and mixed citrus with hints of pine. Bosdy is full and smooth with sugared grapefruit ringing. Large thick lacing exudes from thicker quaff rings. finish is rounded and full with hints o hops and pine. A very nice brew. Worth a try.

Pours hazy grey-gold with a 4 finger rocky off white head that fades to 1 finger or so after a minute or two and leaves some nice lacing as you drink. Aroma is lots of orange juice, some coriander, orange slice gel candies, lemon, a hint of wheat, limestone, and a hint of wheat. Really it doesn’t have alot of beer character in the aroma. Flavor is sweet orange candies, a little spice, adjunct, straw, dust and wheat. Palate is thin with a light carbonation and off dry finish.

Have this one both tap and bottle. Cloudy unfiltered appearance (very nice) but immediately noticeable aroma that is sticky-sweet, something I really despise in a good beer. Taste is same, very sweet, makes the glass sticky. A nice beer to start out with, but shift to something better later on. I like the tap version much better.

[tap] Pours a barely hazy golden color. Tall, white head. Aroma is sweet citrus. Grainy wheat flavors, with some yeast and artificial tasting banana flavors. Not really that exciting in any way, but remains drinkable.

Typical wheat appearance with a slight haze. Definite berry undertones to the malt flavors that is reinforced by the fruit aroma. I liked this more than I expected.
