Bright, citrusy and hoppy, this summertime ale salutes the flavor of the American hop and gives way to a smooth refreshing finish.

Poured from a 12 oz. bottle into a pint glass. Thanks to nlmartin for the bottle.
Appearance: Pours a slightly hazy golden color with a 2 cm bubbly white head. The head fades to an archipelago on the top of the beer.
Smell: Hopped pretty nicely, citrus and a lightly herbal aroma. There is a light medicinal note in addition to the wheat as well.
Taste: The flavor starts out lightly sweet, with the wheat coming through nicely. Smooth citrus really dominate, and the finish cleans up nicely.
Mouthfeel: Bubbly carbonation pops off the tongue. Light body, clean and crisp, heavy carbonation. There is a light puckering sensation from the bitterness.
Drinkability: I thought this was pleasant and drinkable. Being local to Ohio, I most likely will not get a chance to drink it often, but I would be happy to see it show up at a BBQ.

Looks good in a glass, smells fine. Tried it once before and didn't like it all compared to other seasonal summer wheat beers. Forgot that I didn't like it and purchased some more recently. I have to remember to not get it again.

Not my fave. A bit skunkified and bitter that didn’t subside for me. Bleh.

A: The beer is slightly hazy light yellow in color and has a moderate amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a quarter finger high frothy bright white head that died down but never completely faded away.
S: Moderate aromas of wheat are present in the nose.
T: The taste has flavors of wheat and grainy malts along with faint bits of floral hops and a slight amount of bitterness.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied and a little rough on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: The wheat lightens up the body of this beer, but it feels a little rough on the mouthfeel so I wouldn't classify it as something that is very refreshing.

A decent beer for its style the hops struggle to come through, but ultimately do. First few sips were almost Belgian. Overall a decent Wheat

An excellent session ale from one of my more favorite local breweries. Pours a beautiful
golden orange from the bottle with a fantastic white head that dies down to thin foam and
nice lacing. Nose of lemon zest, sweet wheat malts, and light bittering hops. Taste is lemon
zest and sweet wheat malts on the front with light bittering hops shining through on the back.
A very quaffable seasonable brew with good carbonation and nice finish perfect for summer.
Very nice session-able brew good for the BBQ.
