For some reason this is in the Winter collection mix twelve pack that Sam Adams is offering this year. Pours a clear yellow-orange. Aroma of fruit loops and sprite. No, not sprite. It’s cheaper. LIke mellow yellow or grocery store brand lemon soda. Flavor is dull wheat and lemon. This beer is like going to Boston and never leaving the hotel room.

Dec 23, 2009 I didn’t want to try this as a sixer, so I finally got my hands on a single. Curious to know what "coastal wheat" is? Turns out it is just a plain old wheat beer with a bunch of lemon rind. Strong peel flavor that dominated the wheat.

Dec 23, 2009 ~ Pours a cloudy light gold color with big fluffy white head.
~ Lemon wheaty aroma with orange and some spicy pepperness.
~ Lemon flavor, slightly wheaty. Lemon dominates.
~ Medium bodied with high carbonation. Astringent like after taste in finish.
~ I really don’t care for lemon in my beers. Leaves a funny taste in my mouth. Might be better in the hot summer and not the freezing cold. Not sure why they included this in the Sam Adams winter pack..?
The scent is nice, Lemon dominates too much in the flavor.

Dec 23, 2009 Nothing stands out about this beer. Ho hum. It pours a cloudy pale orange with no head. Slight citrus barely noticeable in the aftertaste. Not a fan of this brew.

Dec 23, 2009 Pours a cloudy light orange almost yellow.Aroma is like a lot of your hefeweizens.The flavor is bland and whatever subtle lemon flavor it says it has it only gives it a light sour flavor.A bad one I might add.The body is very watered down.Just not a good beer at all.

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.
