Certainly a Summer beer in my opinion. Its' crisp and light mouthfeel reflect what I'm looking for in something to cool me off and keep my mouth feeling fresh and dry without any lingering heavy notes. The look is also quite similar... A light golden-honey appearance sports a short 1-finger head that dissipates quickly shows a good amount of tiny champagne bubbles rising from the bottom of the glass. The carbonation feels just how it looks, perhaps just a little thicker, but not by much.

The smell is delicate and expresses the wheat backbone of the beer. There is not a strong malty presence in the taste. It has a little pucker (not much), but enough to let you know that there is a dash of zesty lemon or citrus peel in the beer.

Overall - It's not my typical style of beer that I prefer. I would definitely choose my go-to Hefeweizens over it. In fact, I would probably say that it tastes like a mix between a good HW and a BMC beer, but without the wonderful Banana aromas I most desire from my favorite Hefeweizens. I don't see myself buying singles of this beer in the future. The variety pack, however, has many others I would choose of this beer. It rates "average" to my taste...
