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

Poured from bottle into pokal glass, no best buy date on bottle.

A- half finger white fine foam head to ring that stays, hazy golden/slight tan body.

S- lemony citrus melds with sweet blueberry scent mild tangy scent slight grains.

T- first sip is very sweet blueberry forward, after the flavor of beer comes out nice bready yeast and wheat flavors citric hop flavors emerge. unique fruitiness to the beer from mix of blueberry and hops and balanced sweetness.

M- soft mouthfeel, thin body without being watery. dry after taste w/ slight bitter.

O- the first time i tried this i thought it was blueberry syrup, this try the beer was nice and cold as was not a simple blueberry wheat. very asthetic beer but still not my choice of a fruity wheat as the blueberry flavor is not the sort i prefer.

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

Poured from the bottle to a mug.

Look: You have to pour a bit aggressive to get a nice one finger head going. It pours a golden brown that is hazy throughout. The head diminishes to a thin ring and it leaves a decent amount of lacing.

Smell: Getting some things that I don't generally smell in a Witbier, peach is the most prevalent. Seems to be a bit of coriander maybe? A very pleasant aroma that stay throughout.

Taste: Generally good. Lots of wheat and malt with a bit of the fruit that you smell. Maybe a type of berry as well. Black or blue maybe? Not sure. I generally don't like those type of berries, but it's working out nicely here.

Feel: Very light and refreshing. I wish it was hot out so I could enjoy that a bit more. The carbonation level is right around my preference.

Overall: I was very surprised by this. I picked it up in a mix-six but would definitely grab a full six next time. It's light and fun, and with the lower abv, I could knock a few back in mid-day after some yard work. (Always a plus)

I am glad I bought one bootle at the store. It is was way to sweet and 'fruity.

Appreance: Golden yellow with a white frothy head
Smells L fruits and whean
Taste YOu can taste fruits, with no balnce ot it '
Mouthful : is very acidic in the mouth

Overall : I would pick up a blue moon any day before this beer. THis is an average beer on hot summer day at best !
