Dec 30, 2009 12oz bottle pours hazy deep gold with copper core and thin white head. The aroma has some wheat backed up by some mild dark fruitiness, a touch of honey and a dash of winter spices. The taste is a mix of wheat, some dark fruit and yeasty spices to start. It smooths out with building sweetness to the finish to go along with the addition of some honey notes.

Dec 29, 2009 In the bottle from Hy Vee Council Bluffs. Swirled and poured into a weizen glass, the dark golden hazy beer has a nice white head. Good looking lacing rings are left. The aroma is indeed quite lemon-like. Unfortunately, this drinks more like a glass of Alka-Seltzer Plus than it does a hefeweizen. The yeast contributes little to the flavor.

Dec 28, 2009 Pours a cloudy yellow color with a white head, lots of lacing and lots of carbonation. Aroma is corn, lemon, and yeast. The taste is lemon, corn, yeast, and water. Very boring, easy to drink so that’s a plus but there isn’t anything else positive I can really say about this beer.

Dec 28, 2009 Hazy yellow with a nice white head... Aroma is lemony with a touch of a chemicalness, kind of like lemon Pledge... Flavor is also quite lemony as well, over the top a bit, not very Hefe... Yeasty, quite carbonated, drinks heavier than the ABV for me...

Dec 28, 2009 12 oz. bottle from a Sam Adams Holiday Sampler pack. Pours a cloudy yellow-gold color with a big, foamy white head. Lemon dominates the aroma and flavor, with notes of wheat, pepper, pale malt, and yeast. Light-medium bodied with a lot of active carbonation (like so many Sam Adams beers). Fizzy citrusy mouthfeel. This is an unusual one to include in a winter pack.

Dec 27, 2009 Experienced from a 12oz bottle in a fluted pilsner glass. The beer pours a light to just-short-of-medium golden hue, with a frothy head. Notes of lemon and a slight hefeweizen yeast ester to the nose. Both were fairly subtle, and would benefit from a bit more aggression. The palate seems to be the result of creating a malt bill that would appeal to a wide range of consumers. Little complexity, and not a whole lot going on other than a touch of the aforementioned lemon, a balancing bitterness, and a lot of carbonation. Overall, an inoffensive beer, and a decent example of a fairly boring style; but one that shows the mainstream aims of Sam Adams rather than true craftsmenship.
