Pours Golden and Hazy with super thin white head. Sweet aroma of citrus/oranges. Flavor of orange and banana. No real hops at all. Medium bodied with nice carbonation. The flavor becomes sour, bland and bitter about 1/2 way through. Yuck! Never again!

12oz bottle courtesy of mother in law. Sweet malted grain aroma. Yellow body with white head. Sweet malt, bread brins and some zesty lemon spice. Little to much for a summer brew on a hot day. Filling for a summer time brew.

Nice golden pour, spice hits your nose, wheat and lemon balance out the flavor, smooth enjoyable summer

0.355 bottle. Small thin fluffy head, murky gold colour with orange taints, very strong carbonation. Aroma of malt, herbal tea and traces of vanila, overall quite light. alcohol quite strong with some peach and herbal tea. long unpleasant sour aftertaste. Does not seem like a summer beer, alcolhol making it feel heavy and not thirst quenching.
