Nice refreshing wheat. Great on a hot day. Nothing about it overpowering, very smooth and enjoyable.

Strawberry and cherry aroma. Thick head and cloudy golden pour. Powerfully strong and distinct taste of blueberries, with no other discernible flavors. Weak finish of blueberries. Very unique and enjoyable, but suspect one dimensional flavor for a beer. Uprated for unique character and the fact that I love blueberries. Beer purists will probably not like it.

I believe the hardest part of this delicious ale is pronouncing the name. The full flavor and citrus taste is very good when applied to the palette. Reminds me of blue moon sans the orange garnish. This beer doesn’t need the orange to be a solid ’A’ in my book. As a long time Blue Moon fan, Sunset Wheat ousts my old fave for a new front runner in the medium colored ale category. Translucent pour, temporary head, very tasty.

A light, refreshing brew of peculiar character. Stands out from similar brews like Blue Moon, as it’s fruit character is exxagerated. One of my personal favorites, it can be enjoyed in the summer as a truly refreshing treat.

Ok, I’ve heard everybody bitching about how much this tastes like Fruity Pebbles and all and I have to admit it is a fruity beer, but its also a good one. Very hazy pour but it has a fruity and yeasty smell. Nice sweet fruity, wheaty taste that would be absolutely awesome on a hot summers day. Guess I’m in the minority but hell, I liked this brew.
