Commercial Description:

Poured from 12oz bottle into pint glass. Aroma - Predominant natural lemon aroma with subtle spices. Appearance - Straw yellow in color, cloudy, with huge foamy white head that hangs on for quite a while. Flavor - Not as lemony as the smell would indicate. Light malt with coriander and orange. Palate - Light mouthfeel. Good carbonation. Overall - This is very drinkable and very refreshing. One of the better American made wit biers I’ve tried. Would be great after mowing the lawn on a hot summer’s day. Unfortunately, it’s November and snowing outside; however, it did brighten up my day for a few minutes.

Bottle. Pours foggy yellow with a white head. Wheaty aroma with lemon and spices. The flavor has lemony zest with wheat and light spices. Decent.

Bottle: Pour is bright golden with a bit of sediment on the bottom of the bottle. Aroma is of light ginger, orange, citrus, and coriander. I got a bit of lemon right away in the flavor which seemed to dominate. Not much malt going on here and the spices are all shadowed by the lemon. Has a somewhat dry finish. Thirst quenching brew but not much else going on here. Not worth another purchase.

<b>12 oz. bottle</b> from Plaza Liquors - Pours a cloudy light golden color with a 1/2 finger thick white head. Faint lacing. Aroma is light malt, spices, and light esters. Flavor is very light malt and spices. Light body. Thin palate. Worth a try I guess.

Bottle poured a cloudy gold with a small lingering white head. Aromas of wheat, yeast, spice and light plastic. Palate was light to medium bodied and smooth with a lightly dry finish. Flavors of wheat, orange peel and light coriander with a smooth spice finish.

Bottle. Nose is light coriander, somewhat musky. Cloudy, very pale yellow with good thin white head. Opens with coriander and becomes very muddled before fading into a tart citrus finish. Full-bodied with very little carbonation. Lacking in many respects.

Cloudy light straw yellow color, fast fading white head. Some carbonation is noticed through the cloudy glass. Robust citrus aroma of grapefruit and lemon. Honey and wheat are in the aroma as well. Salt is the first taste to hit the tongue not nearly as sweet or yummy as it smells. Palate is as light as the color of the beer. A dissapointing salty and watery beer.
