Served on tap at the Doolittle American Grill ($3.25) Alexandria, Mn. Pours with one finger white head that goes quickly leaving no lace. Cloudy amber color. Light carbonation and medium bodied. Apricot nose. Starts with a apricot flavor but is nicely balanced, finish is clean.

Hazy dark orange in color. Very fruity aroma which carries over into the taste. I like this one but it deosn’t always taste the same. Sometimes I think its too sweet other times its really refreshing. maybe a quality control issue at the brewery.

super strong banana/orange aroma. smells really really artificial. demitriustown’s suggestion of pushup ice cream is pretty accurate. too sweet in flavor.

In the bottle from MacDoogles in Pineville AR. Pours an orange-gold color with a chunky white head and huge carbonation bubbles. Aroma is awesome of passion fruit! The taste is citrus, much like a shandy. Lemon-lime. Has a medium sweetness. This is surprisingly a good beer. The body is thin like all Leine’s, but tasty.

Too sweet for me. Malty. Has a passionate following from the Midwest crew, though.

This beer has a lot more integrity than your average wheat. Off-white head, with a subtle citrusy aroma. Taste is strong and holds up to the lost drop

12 oz. bottle from Plaza Liquor - Pours a hazy light golden color with a half finger thick white head. Light spotty lacing. Has a sweet, orange aroma. Has a slight tart citrus flavor. Light body and thin palate. A good wheat beer.

Pours amber/yellow with a strong citrus aroma. Honestly, this beer is like drinking a glass of grapefruit juice. A few other subtle fruit notes, like blueberry, orange and lemon. Fairly good.
