look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5

Served in a Weizen glass.

Appearance: Hazy gold, head is maybe 1/4" off the body...take a sip and it disappears.

Smell: Light citrus hops, not too strong but it is very pleasant.

Taste: Citrus, banana, and nutty....one of the easiest to drink beers.

Mouth: Medium carbonation, light after-taste.

Overall: When it's hot outside or not you would be crazy not to try it out. You don't drink this for a buzz you drink this because you want a relaxing beer after a hard day's work...we all deserve it. Salud!

Pours hazy golden with minimal head. Aroma of grain , bread, with a slight lemony nose. Taste is very hefeweizen (bready) without the banana and bubblegum notes and other sweet accents. Finish is chalky dry and abrupt, not much of an aftertaste to remember. So-so, not impressed.

Had it out of a bottle in a make your own 6 pack at my local grocery store

Can smell the lemon peel right off the bat as it is very strong to the nose, a little hint of the wheat as well but the lemon really over powers the nose.

Taste is smooth no bitter, no real after taste and a very drinkable beer. This to me is a great summer beer and I recommend it to anyone looking for an enjoyable summer beer to drink. It is not as light as a bud light coors light etc. but if your looking for a lighter beer with some flavor then this is the beer for you
