2.7 Bottled. No clear date. Hazy lemon, white head. Aroma is lemon, wheat. Flavor is generic ale. Meh. Underwhelmed.

2.6 Canned at the Tin Can. Pours hazy golden. But watery in the mouthfeel but drinkable. Tad of citrus.

2.6 Light translucent golden color with quickly dissipating head. Rather bitter aroma. Taste is better than smell, light and refreshing, with a hint of citrus. It’s not bad...might even drink again on a hot day, but nothing really impressive about this one.

3.2 Similar to Blue Moon, just not as good. Pours a hazy straw golden with dissipated white head. Aroma is spicy with citrus. Flavor is pretty decent, very drinkable, with slight sweetness of malt and orange. Finish is fairly clean and dry, but just too low abv, and thus watery.

3.2 Bottle. Pours a hazy yellowish color with minimal head. Aroma is coriander, lemon, orange. Light sweetness. Average carbonation. Meh.

3.3 Pours a cloudy golden caramel. Aroma of lemon and straw. Taste is light sweet with apricot notes. High carbonation. Refreshing.

2.8 Hazy orangish wheat color with a thin white head. Wheat beer aroma with a little spice. Citrusy, a little thin. Just okay.

4.2 Had this brew at Ford Field, Detroit. Smells like a wheat beer. Very sweet. Pours a cloudy gold colour. Very little head. Tastes as a wheat beer should. Sweet, but not overpowering. Lots of carbonation. No aftertaste. Overall I was very impressed with this beer. Very easy drinking beer. I will be purchasing again. MB The Beer Bearon

1.8 Ambar con opacidad, espuma baja con adherencia. Lúpulo floral moderado, ésteres a naranja moderado, malta maltoso caramelo moderadamente bajo, malta trigo bajo. En boca lúpulo floral moderadamente bajo, malta maltoso caramelo bajo, trigo bajo, sin astringencia por amargor de lúpulo. Final semi-seco pero efímero a trigo.

3.0 One of four different types from a sampler case purchased at Sav On Beer in Pittsburgh. Too much wheat and not enough taste. Tasted kind of acidic.

2.7 This stuff is a bit bland but still a reasonable thing to drink. Odds cloudy orange with a small head. It smells vagully citrusy with some bready malt and some vegetal underpinnings. This is full bodied without being too sweet and the texture is the best thing about it. It is just a little boring overall.

3.3 [7337-20150704] Tap. Light orange grains aroma. Hazy, orange brown body with a quick foamy off-white head. Orange peel and grainy bitter flavour. Medium body. A great ballgame beer, light and sessionable. (6/3/7/3/14) 3.3 (Blue Jays vs. Tigers @ Comerica Park, Detroit, MI)

3.1 Very easily taste the orange peel and coriander. Not too heavy. Bottled. Nice label. Would drink again...

2.7 2015-07-04. Yellow body with a small white head. Aroma of cereally grains, mild pale malt. Flavour is similar with light grains and pale malt, mild bitterness overall. Average bodied palate, moderate carbonation. On tap at Comerica Park, Detroit.

2.9 12 oz. bottle at home. Pours a hazy golden with some orange and a medium sized eggshell head. The aroma and flavor have pale wheat malts, mild sweetness, light orange and spice, coriander, just not much to get excited about.

2.6 bottled - cool label. Nice slightly sweet orange flavor. Amber to golden color. Tastes very similar to Blue Moon.

3.1 Orange sour gummy worm aroma, high head. Plenty of orange presence throughout this wheat beer.

2.6 Bottle, 12oz. A hazy, golden beer with a small, off-white head that lasts. It’s peachy, grassy and cellary with a touch of perfume. It’s medium to full-bodied, with a soft carbonation. There’s a light bitterness in the flavor, some sweetness too, with peaches, overripe banana notes, grass and some cellar. Short finish, 150613

3.0 Bottle 355ml @ Motel room, Crystal Inn, Niagara Falls, ON Pours hazy golden with a white head. Aroma has notes of malt, yeast, grass and some fruitiness. Taste is light to medium sweet and light bitter. Body is medium, texture is thin to oily, carbonation is soft.

2.8 Aroma of orange peels and malts, not as crisp and a little metallic tasting, odd finish

2.8 12 oz floral waxy coriander grass Slight haze orange yellow white filmy head moderate retention and lace Medium sweet medium light bitter Thin oil fuzzy medium body bittet slicy oranges moderate finish zesty honey aftertaste light wax and bread easy drinking

3.2 On tap. Trübes goldgelbes Bier mit einer ordentlichen weißen schaumkrone. Geruch leicht säuerlich fruchtig, gering hopfig. Geschmack schwach fruchtig, leicht trocken, gering hopfig, wässrig.

2.3 330ml on tap at Taphouse Munich. Aroma is light grass. Appearance is cloudy yellow with a nice foam. Taste is light bitter and light sweet. Very watery. OK.

2.4 Hazy green with a thin foamy white cap. Nose smells a bit musty and dirty with some bitter orange peel and stale wheat malts. Clean yet bright and also somehow chewy nose with pale wheat malt doughiness combined with a bright orange zest. A little doughy and wheaty on a semisweet finish with a little lingering orange juice note. Not awful, but certainly not remarkable.

3.1 hazy yellow, almost no head. Aroma is very sweet, melons, candy, kiwi and some raisins a little yeasty with wheat and citrus. Nice taste. The wheat body is crisp. lots of orange, some citrus, table sugar sweet finish.

2.9 Draft at the NYC craft beer festival.pours a blonde golden color with a nice aftertaste. Really session able

3.6 12 ounce bottle into pint glass, bottled in 9/2014. Pours lightly hazy bright golden color with a 1 finger dense white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of lemon, orange peel, coriander, wheat, cracker, bread, herbal, straw, grass, light pepper, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of pale malt, spice, and earthy hop notes; with decent strength. Taste of lemon, orange peel, coriander, wheat, cracker, bread, herbal, straw, grass, light pepper, and yeast earthiness. Slight earthy herbal/spice bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of lemon, orange peel, coriander, wheat, cracker, bread, straw, grass, and herbal/yeast earthiness. Good balance and robustness of pale malt, spice, and earthy hop flavors; with a good malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, crisp, and slightly bready mouthfeel that is good. Alcohol is very well hidden with zero warming present after the finish as expected of 4.5%. Overall this is a very solid spiced pale wheat ale style. All around good balance and robustness of pale malt, spice, and earthy hop flavors; and very smooth and crisp to drink. A pleasantly enjoyable offering.

2.6 Pours dirty gold with the faintest haze ever and a barely there head. Aroma is inoffensive but faint. Taste is better but muddled.

2.7 12 oz bottle. Golden orange with an average white head. Aroma is of grain, caramel, malt. Taste is of oranges, light spice, and malt.

2.8 Bottle. The look is clear, white head, and golden in color. The smell is dirty, pickles, malt, odd, and off. The taste is wheat, fruit, blah, ok.
