I admit I approached this with some trepidation when I read on the label that it was brewed " with grapefruit peel and chamomile." But I plunged ahead and poured it into my standard Troeg's pint glass. Pours a slightly hazy light gold and left a modest head and some residual lacing. An attractive beer.

Smell is subdued, I get a little citrus but that's about it.

Taste is very pleasant, very light. A bit of citrus and a hint of pepper.

Mouthfeel is crisp and finishes well.

Drinkability is fine. The bottle lists no ABV but this is no alcohol bomb - probably in line with the style around 5%.

I really liked this beer. It's nothing pretention.Just a good light summer thirst quencher. Good job, Philadelphia Brewing.

look: 3 | smell: 3 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5

Poured from a 12 oz bottle into a standard pint glass.

Appearance: The beer itself has to look: A murky, hazy yellow beer. The issue here is the borderline non-existent head. There's a tiny bit of glass lacing.

Smell: You don't pick up much. Sweet citrus fruit, coriander.

Taste: This is a workman's wit for sure. Pretty standard, but there's nothing wrong with that for the price. The grapefruit adds a nice touch.

Mouthfeel: Refreshing and crisp. Ample carbonation and a wet taste. Doesn't leave much aftertaste and isn't too sticky.

This is a pretty standard wit, and I don't mind that. Ever so slightly above average, and I don't mean that as laudatory.
