Pale golden colour with a white head. The nose is very nice and perfumey with hints of citrus, spice and peach. The body was a little thin, some wheaty hints with a little bit of basil and mint in the finish. A nice refresher from this brewery I think.

My roommate brought a case of these home, so I had to steal one. Sweet and citrusy smell. Taste very similair to the auroma. Doubt I could drink a lot of thse because of the taste, but one is good.

A pleasant surprise. I was piqued by the citrusy sweetness in this. Could well turn into my staple summer beer this year.

On tap at the Leinie’s Metrodome during the Vikes/beers game. Its hard to rate a beer apart from the context in which it is enjoyed. In this case it was a sight for sore eyes. Amongst the Miller Lite and Bud lite taps this looked as good as a belgian quad. Hazy darker wheat appearance. Immediate coriander on the nose with a bit of banana. Sweet and smooth and changed somewhat as it warmed into a respectably complex wheat beer.

FRrom a twelve ounce bottle purchased at "Keller’s IGA" in Cincinnati, Ohio, right down from the University Of Cincinnati where I teach - This one pours a dark, hazey brew that smells of lime and cherries, with a thin white head of foam. Tastewise, it’s a sweeter "Blue Moon" with more body.

Draft at Citizens Bank Park. Cloudy yellow, with a thick white head. Powerful aroma of lemon, berry, flowers, and yeast. Perhaps the most powerful aroma i have encountered in a beer, i could smell it from several feet away. Sweet wheat flavor, with a bit of lemon and spice. Light and refreshing, and a good option to have at the ballpark when I’m not in the mood for a Hopdevil. I don’t think my opinion of the beer was affected by the fact that the Phils were actually winning.

Bottle. Pours a golden with a small head. Aroma of lime, wheat, and lemon. An actually pleasant sweetness to this one, which I must admit I was shocked about. I *could* drink this beer and enjoy it.
