This ones a sipper. The hops will definitely make you smack your lips a couple of times. The hops may be borderline. Some sips I enjoy them, and other sips they just seem like too much. All in all a pretty decent brew. goldtwins (4084), Nesconset, New York, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 10, 2004 Large rocky white head with hazy yellow appearance. Aroma of lemon and yeast with a flavor to match. Crisp and refreshing. Nice body with a clean finish. This is better than I thought it would be. PorterPounder (3147), Tallahassee, Florida, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 5, 2005 Had on tap at the Red Brick Tavern in the Atlanta Airport. Pours an extremely cloudy orangeish-yellow with a frothy thick white head that leaves decent lacing. Requisite, sweet bubblegum aroma with a touch of banana. Flavor has the same bubblegum and banana thing going on with a bit of underlying coriander. Nothing really complex, but deent none the less - one of the best I have had from this brewer. Mouthfeel is pleasantly thick but fades just a tad near the end. Good refresher after traveling and fighting through the airport. Hangover (770), Atlanta, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 23, 2004 They have a ton of this at greens in atlanta now. Cloudy orange pour with a thick, lasting eggshell white head. Wheat and yeast aromas along with a bit of malt when warmed. Nice hopping in the taste, with some citrus (orange), coriander and some peppery spice. I’m going to call it medium bodied, but it’s cutting it close. Nice finish, with some lingering hop bitterness. Nothing to really complain about, it’s pretty solid. Slight sourness keeps it out of the top ten. The best of the red bricks I’ve had yet. Way to go for the locals. harlequinn (2745), Tacoma, Washington, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Sep 13, 2004 This is not bad as much as I hate to admit that, as I really do not like the majority of ABC’s beers. This was a nice tangy summer outing. Lots of fresh fruit, balanced acidity, some spicy corriander and orange peel flavors as well. Very clean tasting. 21iceman40 (1731), vienna, West Virginia, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 1, 2005 THere is nothing all that great and all that bad about this beer. It is fairly light bodied and has a bit of funk in it, possibly due to the extreme old age of the bottles i found. I would have it again for the 4 dolla i payed for the sixer.

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Aug 10, 2008 A lightly hopped wheat ale, with some citrus in the nose, a light bit of fruit and spice on the palate. A hint of bubblegum, some cereal maltiness. Pretty light and refreshing. Butters (1651), Virginia, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Jun 18, 2009 I’m assuming this is the correct one. This bottle has definitely got some age on it, and the label is "Summer Brew - Unfiltered Wheat Ale". Pours a milky yellow with ridiculously massive billowing white head, at least 8 inches of head. Nose of banana, bubblegum, and lemon. But pretty weak all around. Flavor definitely has a graininess and metallic tinny finish. Pretty average actually.
