Dec 2, 2007 Bottled sample via oakbluff. Gold in colour with fairly strong carbonation. Aromas of stale malted wheat and citric hops. Hop forward in the mouth, followed by more wheat malt and some coriander like citrus flavors. Some bitter length on the finish keeps the wheat in check. Pretty good overall, especially considering the style. This bottle might have been a bit past its prime too. Probably really nice when fresh and on a hot patio in the summer.

Nov 26, 2007 Very good beer, smooth and refreshing. The aftertaste left me wanting more. Best wheat beer on the market.

Nov 24, 2007 This is by far the best wheat beer out there. Nice golden color. nose is hops and citrus.Taste is wheat and hops. I like to let this one warm up a bit. I feel it brings out the hops more. Drinkability is great.

Nov 18, 2007 Wow... I don’t like wheat beers! This is great. Relatively clear yellow, small white head. Aroma of citrus. Very hoppy taste with (as the description says) a lemony finish. Very nice drinkable beer.

Nov 14, 2007 One of the best smelling summer wheats around due to the amount of hops. Unique. A great wheat, one of my favorite. The beer is very pale. I seem to remember this beer having more of a knockout flavor, but it is still solid.

Nov 14, 2007 10-17-07 bottle. Semi-transparent deep golden color with thick foamy head. Amazing candy-coated hops aroma. Peaches and cream dominate the flavor. Finish is clean and smooth with ideal carbonation. I highly recommend this beer to anyone! Great palate - smooth, yet clean and crisp - lively yet not over the top. All around, a fantastic beer!

Nov 12, 2007 Bottle. Poured a hazy yellow with a huge white, fluffy head. Immediately on opening the bottle you get the citrus aroma of the hops. On pouring in the glass the hop smell is even more evident and enticing. Flavor is of smooth wheat flavor with a tremendous hop presence which gives it a bit of citrus flavor. I love German wheat beers but, this is the best Ameircan version I have had so far. Many thanks to my brother biggmike for this one.

Nov 6, 2007 Updated: Nov 1, 2008Thanks to Pantanap for the bottle. Fluffy head...typical wheat body. Very pleasant aroma...has strong grapefruit scents but also a lot of other fruits, including orange and lemon...very nice work of the amarillo hops! Nice flavor up front...hoppy, citrusy and bready, then mellows out into a mostly-lemon flavor, and actually has a somewhat watery finish on the palate. Flavor lingers long for a wheat. I’m not one that has completely bought into the FFF craze so far, but this was a very enjoyable variation of a wheat, which is nice to see today!
Update 10/31/08: On tap in NW Indiana...this is a very clean beer on tap, the amarillo hops are truly allowed to shine in this beer...lemon and orange flavors very well defined and the oscillation between strong citrus and sharp bitterness is wonderful...notching this one up slightly from previous rating
