Bottle from Frank Smith’s. Pours turbid gold with white head. Nose is wheaty malt, hopcitrus. Tastes hoppy, citric, with pale malt, slight peppery, and a crisp finish. A solid summer beer.

Hazed dark gold, creamy white head. Soft yeasty bubblegum and clove notes ride faint swirls of honeyed banana throughout. Dry fruity wheat-like flavors round with a touch of spice. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, dry finish. An ok summer quencher, but just not feeling the love…

12 oz bottle. Pours a cloudy orange color, small white head. Aroma is malt, lemon, banana, yeast. Flavor is a touch of spices, a touch of citrus, and malts. It was a bit sweeter than I had imagined, but it wasn’t bad.

[bottle] Estery sweet but crisp malt aroma with lemon and herbs. Hazy dark yellow under wispy white. Crisp and refreshing wheat and base malt flavour with a touch of grainy sourness from the wheat. Notes of coriander and lemon. Extremely quaffable. Crisp and clean finish, light body but not watery.

12 oz. bottle from Grape & Gourmet. Pours a cloudy yellowish-orange with virtually no head. Aroma of bubblegum, honey, and banana. Sweet bubblegum flavor with some cloves. A little too sweet to be great (which I blame on the honey) but still a good drinkable beer.

8/24/2009: Terrapin Sunray Wheat Beer... Aroma: Slightly sour wheat malt with light yeast and clove, a hint of lemon, and a dollup of honey. Appearance: Bright pale yellow, cloudy; not really much on the top surface except a thin veil; large, erratic carbonation bubbles the shoot to the surface. Flavor: Honey sweetness, even a bit syrupy-like; chewy wheat, a hint of banana, delicate honey honey undertones.. Palate: Medium-light body, mostly smooth, a little tingly carbonation. Overall: Very drinkable, but a tad sweet; quite filling for a wheat beer.

12 fl. oz. bottle (Best if enjoyed by: Month 11, Week 1) from D’s SixPax & Dogz in Pittsburgh, PA. Rating #85 for this beer.
