This wasn’t half bad, as far as AB’s "craft" beers go. This was at least drinkable for more than one bottle. Has some sweet caramel maltiness, which is a little on the thin side of course, balanced out by some cascade citrus bitterness. Decent enough.

12oz bottle-A slightly hazy amber body with a nice off white covering. Aroma of wheat, orange, and citrus. Taste of the same with a little orange and hops thrown in. This light bodied brew is not bad but I was expecting worse.

Pours medium bodied lightly hazy amber with a frothy white head with an orange tint. Sweet aroma of wheat, hops, and citrus with. The flavor surprised me as I expected it to taste much like the aroma but all I notice is a slight citrus and malt taste with a slight note of hops. But the overall flavor just isn’t to good. Bitter end. I really don’t mind wheat beers but this one isn’t all to great but better than a lot of beers coming from Anheuser Busch.

A modest attempt at an american wheat, and i think they passed... somewhat. Pours a clear golden, orangeish colour with a fairly large white head. Lacing is attractive, and coats the glass well. Aroma is of old malts, and pear. Taste is a little off dry with a soft bitter hop finish.

From a 12 oz bottle. I did not realize this was from AB until I went to post this rating. Guess I should pay more attention to the bottle. Saw a six pack of this at BevMo, didn’t recognize it, and so thought I would try it. Poured a hazy light amber with small white head and light lacing. Nose of wheat malt and citrus hops. . Light mouthfeel. Flavor is very typical of a wheat beer, with the citrus hops and a little caramel sweetness. Finish is bland. All in all quite drinkable and it gives me hope that AB might be moving toward putting ut something better than Bud.
