12 ounce bottle purchased at a random gas station in Davis, CA. Holy shit, the aroma on this is huge bubble gum and huge cotton candy. Amazingly sweet with some lemon. Doesn’t really smell like beer. Mostly hazy orange-honey colored body with a medium white head. Starts with some sour orange juice flavor. Tart, lightly astringent. More fruitiness in the middle. Very bubble-gummy late. Tastes a lot like bug spray.

bottle. this was an odd beer. not much aroma honestly other than some vague yeast and malt aroma. the taste is overpowering with blueberry and lemon, which the label really gave no indication of. leaves a mildly bitter hoppiness. the sour and sweet flavors were balanced at first, but quickly become off kilter. too much fruit up front, not enough wheat, malt or hops in the back. i guess its ok for what it is, but it was not what i would want in a wheat beer at all.

solid beer, tasted like some strawberrys and was very light. tasted bubbly which was enjoyable. I’d call it a solid summer beer, or a solid beer if you’re in the mood for something fruity

Not a bad beer, but after 3 or 4 I am pretty much done with it. The taste is a medium sweetness, with hazy, appearance. Like I said not a bad beer especailly when you what something different for the palate.

Tried this about a month ago, but I will never forget the taste, even though I cannot name it. Pours a bright hazy orange with good head. The aroma (and taste) is of something resembling a sickeningly sweet blueberry/boisenberry/orange/I don’t know jolly rancher. This was way to sweet and weird for me (aroma/taste verified with the rest of the 6-pack). This was a real disappointment for me. A real drain pour.

12oz bottle. Aromas of wheat and citrus. As other here have mentioned, this has a very distinct sweet, fruity flavor. Drinkable, but too much bright citrus for me.
