Pours a medium amber color, darker than I expected, with an impressively thick white head. Aroma is also surprisingly hoppy, much more assertive than I anticipated. Definite lemony wheaty scent, dry and a touch hoppy citric. The hops and lemon flavors work very very well together. Flavor is much less hoppy than the aroma would indicate, although hops come through somewhat in the middle and finish lightly in the end, providing a very pleasant clean dry finish when coupled with the wheat malt. Very very slight clove taste. Flavor is mostly crisp and dry wheatiness, with little in the way of esters. Body is light, carbonation is definitely active. While i wouldn't really like this any other time of the year, this is definitely lawn-mowing beer. Not bad, better than I expected. It's no german hefe, but it did the trick today.

Oct 27, 2008 Wow, another lower than deserved score from the elite at ratebeer.com. This is an American Wheat Ale and the brewers from Vermont give the consumer exactly what the promise in this offering.
This is the preferable alternative to light pale lager...were you people expecting an IPA? not as bad as is suggested here.

Oct 2, 2008 From bottle. Pours clear yellow with a quickly disolving head. Light wheat and citrus on the nose. Very clean tasting but with virtually no finish. Like mgoy said, it reminds me of GI 312. Kinda disappointing.

Oct 1, 2008 Light hazy golden color with a small head. Slight wheat taste with some fruit in the background, pretty non offensive.
