A: Pale yellow with no real head. It poured about half a finger and disappeared in under 5 seconds. The beer is very hazy and only renders the appearance of shadows through the glass. There is almost no carbonation visible moving in the glass after a few minutes.

S: I pick up fruity scents like lemon and...starfruit. It has a floral smell to it as well.

T: It's very light on the wheat character with more of a pils flavor. There's some orange or other citrus flavor floating around in there as well.

M: It has a nice light bodied mouthfeel, with a hint of bitterness and it feels good. It could be a bit under-carbonated.

O: Overall it's a nice easy beer but I think mine wasn't carbonated enough. I probably just got a bad bottle or something. It's a nice refreshing summer beer or lawnmower beer.

A hazy, intense yellow color, the beer has a modest white head an plenty of carbonation. The aroma has a lemon and orange peel scent...lots of wheat scents. Some grass and pepper, as well as a little pale malt. The taste is crisp, fruity, and just a little sweet. Nice mix of wheat twang, mixed with a little pale malt. Medium body. Solidly drinkable beer.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, bottled on 3/12/2013. Pours very hazy golden straw color with a nice 2 finger dense and fluffy bright white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice soapy lacing clings down the glass. Aromas of lemon, orange zest, pear, wheat, bread, pepper, light clove, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and strength of bready malt and fruity/spicy yeast and hop notes. Taste of lemon, orange zest, pear, pepper, wheat, clove, bread, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Light amount of spicy floral bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of citrus, pepper, clove, wheat, bread, floral, grass, and earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Damn nice flavor balance and robustness of hop, malt, and yeast flavors; with no cloying flavors on the finish as expected. Medium carbonation and body; with a slightly creamy, smooth, and crisp mouthfeel that is great. Alcohol is very well hidden with almost zero warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is an excellent pale wheat ale! All around nice balance and robustness of flavors; and extremely smooth to drink. Really enjoyed this one; best pale wheat ale I have had yet.

12oz bottle poured into a tulip. DOB 03/22/13

A: Pours a mostly opaque light yellowish gold with a full three finger dense white head. Can barely see some carbonation in the haze. Leaves some lacing on the sides of the glass.

S: Light wheat aroma and pale malt. Bit of a macro aroma to it. Hops are in there too for a touch of bitterness.

T: As anticipated it has a wheat dominant flavor. Not as robust as a full on wheat beer but a lighter take. Hops show up on the backend.

M: Body is nice and creamy with mild carbonation. Reminds fairly crisp and easy drinking.

Overall I feel like it may lose some in the bottling as it taste a bit more robust on tap. Good for the summer time or after breaking a sweat.
