Very sweet with lots of floral and citrus bits. Weak, thin body with a soapy, oily mouthfeel.

Clear golden body with a large frothy white head. Fruity grassy aroma with some light corn and honey. Grassy flavor, light honey, a good floral bitter but somewhat grainy. Light body with medium high carbonation.

120z bottle. Dark gold color with a big white head and plenty of carbonation. Weird veggie aroma with some malty breadiness. The flavor has some bland sweetness and barely any hops, and there is an element that I can only describe as off. Just not clean and refreshing like it should be, and tough to drink by mid way.

Bottle. Nice golden color with minimal head. Some hops, light grassy flavor, maybe a litte lemon. Slight floral aroma. Very crisp finish, easy drinking beer. Really like what they’ve accomplished here.

After rating 500 American beers, this bottle is my first gusher. All of its predecessors have been of Belgian origin. Now that I have cleaned up the mess... it pours a cloudy amber-straw with lots of tiny suspended particles and a frothy seltzer-like white head that gradually diminishes leaving behind wispy lace. The nose is bright and fruity with notes of kiwi and strawberry over a lightly "dusty" wheat malt. Light-bodied and thin with soft effervescence and a lightly dry finish. The flavor is of sweet and lightly fruity wheat malt with a clean finish. This is a solid American example of the style, and I’m surprised to see that it isn’t regarded more highly. Regardless, this would be a great thirst quencher on a hot, summer day.

Poured a nice golden color with a foamy white head that was gone quickly. Very light citrus aroma. Sweet and light flavor, with hints of citrus peel. Not bad for a light Summer beer.

Bottle poured slightly particulate rich golden color with dissipating off-white head. Mild aroma or corny malts out of a tall bitters glass. The flavor is crisp, slightly sweet and fruity, kind of like citrus rind. Soft carbonation and well balanced. Very good, but I think I rated a little higher due to a crappy day :) Hooray beer!

Orange pour. Smells of tart orange. Flavor is similar, a bit of wheat and some orange. Reminded me of a sweet tart.
