Bottle. Poured a hazy light brown (almost an off yellow) with a frothy white head that leaves light lacing. The aroma put out citrus, spices, and hints of wheat and yeast. The flavor has an orange/lemon citrus mix with a light spiced background. Light to medium body. Orange peal aftertaste. Another decent summer session beer.

Draught at Old Chicago in Coralville, IA. Attractive cloudy yellow color with bubbly white head that laced the glass. Fruity, buttery aroma with a touch of coriander. Actually smelled like a combination of blueberries, raspberries, and oranges. Flavor was also fruity and wheaty. Slightly sweet. I thought this was going to be a blueberry wheat. Bzzzzz, wrong. Decent beer, though.

Comes on with strong fruity flavors that seemed medicinal at first, before fading into something more natural and palatable. I don’t usually go in for wheats, but this is good for a hot summer day.

suprised by this one, was expecting the same old macro version of a wheat. heavy citrus made it an enjoyable summer beer.

Draft at Jupiter’s in Champaign, IL . Pours golden with a white head. Aroma of orange and wheat malt. Flavor of orange, pale wheat malt, and berries. This could use a little more hops to bring it in balance, but a decent summer wheat if you like sweeter fruity beers.

Pours a hazed, tawny yellow w/ a medium sized, spattered froth. Head fades fast leaving a full ring residual lace and a dusty canopy. Aroma is bright w/ fresh citrus. Light nectar w/ ample mellow residual effers. Malty and very fruity. Big citrus cream flavors w/ a mild biscuit essence. Slight cereal like Fruit Loops. Finish is very mellow w/ little bittering.

Actually, I like this better than most of the American wheats I’ve had-it has a creamy mouthfeel and a spicy finish. Wheat flavor a little subdued but has a sweet orange and coriander taste.
