Pours a cloudy straw yellow, with some orange hints. Two-finger white foamy head dissipates rather quickly. A thin layer of foam remains for the duration. No lacing.

Smells of citrus, some wheat and grass. Not very strong. Just a hint of grapefruit with some light bread notes.

Tastes of hops and citrus. Some bread and carbonation in the finish. A dry, somewhat sweet finish.

Some citrus zest up front. Some carbonation in the finish. Light and refreshing, would be good on a hot summer day.

First time I have had this beer. It does not remind me of a German Hefe, but is not bad. More citrus notes, and a little thin. Reminds me of Widmer.

12 oz bottle poured hazy (no effort made to keep sediment in the bottle) yellow-golden with a small temporary head. Like most wheat beers, the aroma was not compelling, but the flavor was quite appealing nonetheless. The yeast imparts a fruity aroma and flavor than is rather tropical-with-apricots in the nose and mainly lemony/citrus on the tongue. Lightly tart.

O: an exceptionally refreshing barley/wheat ale, with fine citrus overtones.

look: 4.5 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 4

Appearance: A light golden color, fair amount of bubbles, and a white thick head.

Smell: A clean hoppy smell.

Taste: Finishes like a typical pilsner, and has some very faint citrus notes.

Mouthfeel: Dry, with a nice finish.

Drinkability: A good refreshing beer. Would be great for a outside bar-b-que with friends. And I know you're not supposed to drink iced cold beer, but this one may be good a little extra cold.

Pours a golden color with a finger of head that disappates to a rim around the glass. Aroma is crisp and clean with a some pilsner hops present. Flavor is dry to start and finishes with the pilsner. Slight presence of citrus - maybe some grapefruit and lemon. Clean and refreshing brew and would be good for a hot summer day.
