Bottled May 2013:

Into a pint glass:

A: clear yellow body with a one finger white foamy head that concaves a bit and softly clings to the edges, nice lookin' filmy head of a valley appears after a minute, some carbonation is seen rising

S: light citrus, lil' bit of bubblegum but really subdued, light wheat

T: all previously mentioned flavors combined nicely, sweet sticky aftertaste and finish

M: light, sessionable, carbonation seems a bit under-carbonated for the style but actually I think I'm starting to like my APWA's this way, becomes a bit smooth and creamy

O: actually, I think I like this one, it would be great on a hot summer day, despite the other reviews on this one, I say give it a try. There's a nice refreshing quality to this beer and probably doesn't have enough hops for the hopheads to go crazy about, but hey, its an APWA, whaddaya expect...

look: 3.75 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 2.5 | feel: 2.75 | overall: 3

Slightly hazed body, eggshell white head forms a cloudy three fingers worth with fine even lacing. Aroma has a nice sharp wheat and citrus combo with very mild spice additions, limited coriander which is usually a good thing for my palate. Flavor wise there's some biscuit bread dough layers with a very chalky yeast in the finish, slight hint of citrus peel and coriander with a relatively lackluster overall flavor. Carbonation is light, not much on the palate as far as textures go but still not a horrible beer, under 4.5% it's light and refreshing and keeps you wanting to experience the next sip. It has a trademark Atwater characteristic it misses the mark on the style and ends in a generic watered down version of a witbier, I appreciate it for what it is but can't really look at this as a beer I want to keep buying.
