Bottle, thanks to ericandersnavy. Pours a cloudy yellow, white fizzy head. Aroma of lemon peel and faint malt. Flavor is semi-sweet, lemon peel, faint malt. Palate is light bodied, soft, with high carbonation. Overall a great summer beer....

Bottle. Pours a bright hazy yellow with a puffy one-finger head that hung around for a little while leaving very little lacing. The smell is very sweet with bananas, oranges and coriander. The wheat backbone is also very evident in the smell. The taste mirrors the smell and is a very sweet wheat backbone with banana and spices on top. Oranges are also present after the initial sweetness. The mouthfeel is medium-bodied but very crisp and dry in the finish with high carbonation. Drinkability is extremely high on this one and it’s a great summer beer.

On draft at the Sweetwater Taphouse in the Atlanta International Airport. Nice hazy yellow pour with fair white head. Banana and clove nose, Wonderful aroma, too bad the flavor didn’t stand up. Funky yeast flavor is a bit off. Cloying finish.

12 oz. bottle courtesy of a trade with GAManiac. Gotta love the slogan "Everybody loves a hummer!" Pours a cloudy gold with a moderate white head that lasted until mid-glass and left patchy lace. Light, somewhat indistinct aroma of lemon and perhaps a touch of spice. The flavor is strong tangy lemon and lots of coriander. Some light orange and banana also detected. I don’t know that I would drink this every day, but its a nice change of pace.
