Pours golden yellow with a fizzy white head. Bready wheat malt aroma with a feint hop spiciness and the illusion of lemon citrus. Medium-bodied mouthfeel. This is a crisp hefeweizen. It almost reminds me of a pilsner with less bitterness or a blonde ale, even at that. There's no banana. No clove. No fruitiness that's typically associated with a hefeweizen. There's some bitterness that emerges toward the back from the hops and lingers into the finish. Overall, not much to speak about.

Magic Hat has classified this beer as a hefeweizen and if that's the case this is off the mark quite a bit. It's still a drinkable beer, nothing spectacular, but if you're looking for a beer of this style, this is clearly not it.

A- Cloudy golden body with an orange tint to it. Thin white head that leaves no lacing at all. Some light shines through, but the unfiltered body leaves no visibility.

S- Sweet malt, some wheat, sweet corn, light citrus, fresh grass.

T- A little more wheat comes through in the flavor than it does in the aroma. Still getting a lot of sweet malt. Grassy, citrusy flavors come through towards the end for a nice finish.

M- Rather light bodied with medium carbonation. Good for a drinkable summer beer.

O- Pretty good beer that would be a good candidate for a can. Drinkable, but not huge on flavor.

A- Light golden color. Cloudy.

S- Citrusy, a bit skunky.

T- Large hints of lemon and orange peel. Ever so slightly bitter, which I really like about this. Extremely drinkable.

O- I really enjoyed this Circus Boy brew. Very refreshing on a warm spring day. Very drinkable.
