Pours a cloudy golden color with a respectable thick white head. Aroma is wheat malt and fruitiness. Taste is refreshing sweet malt, wheat nuts and mild citrus. Clean palate; little aftertaste. This is a pretty good effort, but I don’t understand why Jim Koch decided to charge a $1.50 more per six than all his other beers. It’s good but not $8.29/6PK good.

Dec 21, 2009 Lemon and witbier wheat aroma. Only slightly sour. Sweetish but a little dry in the nose.
The appearance is cloudy, sunny yellow. No head.
The flavor is very sour, like a lemon drop. A real sour flavor on a dry wheat base. Almost like a malternative instead of a beer.
Feels smooth with some bubbles. Really really lemony. A sweet/sour concoction. Pleasant but not much of a beer.

Dec 21, 2009 Very crisp refreshing beer, golden hazy brew, tastes semi sour with a hint of sweetness. It was a good beer, it would be nice to have on a hot summer day!

Dec 21, 2009 12 oz. bottle from Plaza Liquors - Pours a hazy golden color with a one finger thick white head. Very light lacing. Aroma is floral, spice, and light lemon. Flavor is lemon and light wheat malt. Nice. Light to medium body. A very nice, easy drinking wheat beer.

Dec 20, 2009 12oz bottle. Murky golden-tan with a big, frothy head. Mild lemon-dough aroma. Medium bodied with minimal toasty malt undertones. The lemon taste is not pleasantly fresh and lively, just a thick, soapy tang that, along with the ubiquitous hops, coats the mouth in a rough,sandy sweetness. Mellows as it gets closer to room temperature. I’d drink this one at cellar temperature, or at least give it a few minutes out of the refrigerator. Almost comes off like a Saison in some respects.

Dec 19, 2009 Bottle.
Pours a nice, deep cheddar orange with an aroma of plastic orange plank. Flavor is slightly spicy orange and coriander. Average mouthfeel. Not horrible.

Dec 19, 2009 12 oz bottle served in a clear pint glass. Pour was cloudy golden with an inch of white head. Nose was lemon, grass, and wheat. Taste was the same and there was nothing really notable about this brew. I am never into these summer wheats because there is just not enough to them.

Dec 18, 2009 12 oz. bottle- Pours golden with 1 inch thick white head, aroma is wheat, yeast, and citrus. The flavor is ok, it is better than most American hefe’s, but doesn’t compare to the Bavarian styles, there is also a nice lemon zest flavor added, nice.
