Commercial Description:
Our take on the classic summer wheat beer...it’s a light, crisp ale for mowing lawns, hitting lazy fly balls and communing with nature. Glowing like brilliant rays of golden sun, its malty sweetness finishes tart and crisp. Hocus Pocus is best appreciated with a wedge of orange. Offered as a sacrifice to cloudless days.

A decent summer beer (seasonal). It is light and drinkable, reminds me of a take off of other more popular Wheat Ales (Blue Moon).

Bottle. Pours an orange amber body with a white head. Wheat, citrus, floral grassy hop character with no alcohol in the finish. eh.

Straw color with fair, white head / Bright nose of lemon and wheat / Light body, a little thin, crisp and acidic, with good finish / Flavors of lemon, grass, and wheat / A pleasant, lighter, wheat.

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.

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.

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