Average everything. Color, aroma, flavor. Kinda tasted like a combo of beer, dandelions, and lemons. Decent at best.

12oz. Eh how many times does somebody bring this to a party? Average summer lemony light beer. Wouldn’t mind never having again, but I’ll take it over coors any day.

Bottle. Hazy dark yellow color, slightly rusty, with a medium white head that diminishes pretty fast. Aroma has some fruity wheat, spices and a bit of citrus. Sweetish flavor, quite wheaty, with some lemon, yeast, some spices and light tartness. Light-bodied with a wheaty well-carbonated mouthfeel. Nothing great, but definitely quite refreshing. Has quite a bit of wit-like character.

12 oz. bottle obtained for free! Yay! Orange pour with a 2-finger head that fades quickly. Fruity aroma with notes of citrus and caramel. Taste is wheat, citrus and a very subtle hoppiness. Medium bodied.
