Pour is clear golden with a fizzy/fluffy head. Aroma is of corn, light orange, light floral. Flavor is a bit more up front with the floral characters mixing well with the malt and wheat. I get a little bit of a bitter bite in the middle of this brew.Not bad, not good.

Clear golden pour with a small foamy head. Aroma of wheat and very light citrus. Flavor is pretty much the same. Light and refreshing on a hot day, but seriously nothing special.

Light gold body, little head. Aroma of mild hops and some doughy sweetness. Flavor is weak with some grainy notes , citrus sweetness and little hops. Finishes weak and clean. I’ve had much better summer beers.

Pours yellowish with no head and lively carbonation. Aroma is citrus, wheat and grain. Flavor is wheaty but not outstanding or complex by any means. Palate is prickly and thin.
