Love the citrus taste, its also good on the belly. Sweet after taste with a smooth feel.

Had on tap in Los Angeles in some chain restaurant. Not bad orangey-blonde colour, not much on the nose but yeast, failry loose and sweet flavor structure, lacks citric solidity to prop up the flatness. A little too sticky-smooth and watery-sweet, lacking fruity or spicy hints or anything else of note - in short, I missed some character and flavor here. I didn’t know what to think of this one - it was just an okay refreshing beer that I didn’t crave a second round of. Maybe the sample was old and dis-integrating? There were no oxidation indicators, but wheat beer is a tricky thing whether German styled or otherwise. Better than some American wheats but bland.

Lots of subpar ratings here, but I was excited by this one -- maybe it was the setting -- just gotten off the plane and was hot as hell. Had on tap at American Cafe -- was beautiful hazy orange, lemon was not needed at all great citrus taste in the beer -- not overly yeasty, perfect balance. I really enjoyed this -- and before I knew it -- I had three down the hatch. Great marks all around -- don’t know when I’ll have it again tho -- hard to find down here.

Bottle 12 oz. Cloudy pale amber with small head. Very little aroma. Medium to light body with smooth wheat texture. Medium flavor of citrus and malt with a small bitter finish. Below average for style.

Hugely dissapointed. The only hefe I have in the fridge on a hot summer day and it’s rather bland. Light amber, no head. Light yeasty aroma. Flavor very bland. Watered down.

Draft at Friday’s. A cloudy yellow color, certainly looks like a wheat beer. The flavor was not very exciting however. It was fairly smooth, but I’ll probably pass and try something different next time.

Golden yellow color. Pale white head and hazy. Light and distinctly wheat, but missing some crispness and fruit flavor that I was hoping for.

Opaque buff with no head. Wheat with some citrus and spice. Strage flavor that is like a cross with a rough cheap American lager and an American Wheat. This seems softer when I had it last. Some rough citrus hops noticable(Cluster?)
