Commercial Description:
Hazy and golden in color, this brew is a fresh twist on the popular Hefeweizen style. Eureka and Lisbon lemons, from three growing regions in California, balance out the wheat malt character, resulting in a crisp and refreshing wheat ale with subtle lemon flavor. Cheers!

Soap, wheat, a tiny bit of citrus in the nose. Hazy light orange, creamy looking white head, very nice retention. Lemony palate, a bit thin, some biscuits. American style wheat, blah, stick with the hefe sammy!

Not a bad pilsner. Smells better then it tastes. Orange/lemon citrus finish. No hops. Light sweet and slight mass produced taste like all of sam adams beers...

12 oz bottle. Pours a very light golden with a thin white head. Aroma is some light citrus and floral hops, with lemon and citrusy and soapy notes- light crackery dough and wheat. Flavor is lemon zest, play-dough, sweet doughy gummy wheat, citrus oils, and some doughy malty sweetness which is a bit too strong in the middle, and doesn’t finish as crisp as you might expect- slight slickness and soap. Meh

Courtesy of Cavie. Clear yellow with a white head. Zesty tropical fruit, tart wheat aromas. Thin, fizzy mouthfeel. Pale tart wheat flavor with lemon juice.

Not bad, really. Your basic American wheat ale. Nothing too interesting or disgusting about this beer. It’s a decent chugger. Reminded me of Pyramid Hefeweizen.

not very good. cloying sweet, sugary citrus, tacky mess. closer to smirnoff ice drink than most beers.

Out of bottle. Had a nice color for a domestic hefeweizen. Had a nice head. The coastal wheat had a nice wheat flavor but, like all domestics a tad watered down. all in all it was a great brew ha ha! enjoy the samual.

Sampled on 11/27/2009. This wheat beer pours a slightly hazy medium orange gold color from a 12oz bottle. Medium sized, quickly diminishing, white foamy head, without much lacing. The aroma is wheat, cereal, lemons and lemon peel, yet kind of sweet. A medium bodied wheat beer. The malts are cereal and wheaty. The hops are herbal. Lots of lemon and lemon peel flavors, yet not very sweet or very tart. Touch of banana and clove. Light and refreshing, and the lemon flavors are interesting at least. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is crisp and clean. Aftertaste is slightly bitter and a touch tart.
