23 oz draft. poured cloudy butterscotch yellow with a medium sized off white head. Served without orange by request. Aroma was of orange and coriander. So much orange that I could swear they stuck an orange in their and then took it out before I could notice. The flavor was pretty spicy with coriander and citrus notes. Finished a little dry and lots of carbonation. I would swear that they added something more than wheat, yeast, hops, coriander, and water. Pretty decent and quite refreshing.

This was enjoyed at Holden Beach at Four Winds. Justin purchased the beer for all to enjoy. It has a unque flavor that I liked. I think the malted wheat is what I liked. The coriander was the unique flavor. The beach sunsets were great with my Sunset Wheat. The beer pored a gold orange with amodest head. This is better beer than I expected. I hear the brothers on Steve Zabane in the morning and now I can relate the discussions.

A murky yellow/orange apperance with a white head. It left quite a bit of lacing on the glass. The aroma was full of lemons and coriander. The flavor was a bit strong and filled with peaches, oranges, lemons, and more coriander. A slightly sour and spicy aftertaste. If it werent freezing cold outside I think I would have enjoyed this more. A good summer beer.

This wheat beer pours a medium orange gold color from a 12oz bottle. Medium sized white foamy head. Aroma is orange and apricots, some malts and floral, perhaps some blueberry. A light to medium bodied wheat beer. Malts are very fruity and sweet, lots of orange, apricots, berries and coriander. Hops are floral. Lively carbonation. Some lemongrass character here as well. Very thirst quenching. Clean and crisp. Nice summer beer, drink half a six pack on the front porch on a warm Tuesday Night. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is sweet.

Poured a hazy yellowish color. Aroma was citrus, very nice. Taste was something perfect for the summer time - which is when I had it so yeah for me.

This was a pretty nice refreshing drink after my hockey game tonight. Very much a Wit-styled one with the coriander and oranges in the nose and oranges in the body. Very cloudy, nice lacing. THanks Ron for the trade.

Bottle. Appearance was a medium sized white fizzy head that mostly diminished, minimal lacing, cloudy, minimal carbonation, and a butterscotch hue. Nose was sweet, citrusy, oranges and coriander. Flavor was sweet, oranges, citrus, acidic, and somewhat thin and watery. Palate was smooth, sweet and somewhat watery. Light body.

Thanks to the in-laws for this one. Much more of a wit than an American Wheat. Heck, let’s face it, this is a wit. Even the pic in the ad has oranges and coriander seed in it. That + wheat = wit. Hazy gold, OK head. Aroma of oranges and coriander. Flavor matched, along with some rough wheat notes. A bit sweet, not particularly smooth, but not horrible.
