From the growler purchased under clearance pricing at "The Apple House," it pours a hazy amber color with a nice big white head, soon diminishing. Plenty of wheat in the nose. In the mouth, it is easy to drink and smooth, with notes of light citrus and a faint bitterness. Probably on it's last legs - hence the clearance...

Summer wheat beer.
No head. Poured flat.
Light gold color.
Light smell of fruit
Taste is light taste of lemon and banana.
I guess it is a OK summer brew but I wouldn't buy it again.

A- Poured into a pilsner glass. Nice amber with a bit of orange hue. Not much head or lacing.
S- Delicious nose. Plenty of wheat and cereal grains, bready, yeasty, banana and cloves. Nice, enticing aroma.
T- Taste follows the nose, and rather steongly for a "light, summer wheat beer". Plenty of flavor to please and follows the style in spades.
F- Medium mouthfeel, decent carbonation, and definitely NOT on the thin side.
O- Refreshing, TASTY, and utterly crushable. Of course it's a great summer brew

A: A pale orange tan color, almost like grapefruit juice, and a small white head.

S: Slightly tart with a little bit of earthiness.

T: Wheat bread with a touch of coriander, and a hint of orange zest.

M: Medium light in body with moderate carbonation.

O: Overall a decent brew, the smell is a little lackluster, but drinkable.

Poured from bottle to a tulip glass. Pours a golden yellow with about a half finger of white head, dissipates quickly with a small amount of lacing. Faint smell of banana, nuts, and fresh whole wheat bread. Tastes of a little banana, a little lemon, cracked wheat, and a mild spice finish. Feel is medium body, little to no carbonation, flavor lingers for a little bit but not unpleasant. Overall a nice hefe that I'll be buying again.

Slightly hazy gold beer with a white head that leaves a little lacing. Yeasty nose, not too fruity, with a little hops coming through, nicely balanced. Flavorful, a bit darker than some in this style, nice spicy yeasty flavor without the sweet banana overkill that is found in some similar beers. Clean, slightly slick mouthfeel. Another winner from Blue Mountain. Poured from a bottle with a 9/8/16 best-by date. They've changed the labels, by the way, and no longer include the "swirl" instructions that some other reviewers mention.

Pours hazy, gold in color with 1/2 inch head. Taste is bananas, lemon, and wheat. Not the most complex hefe I have had, but it is clean and hits all of the right notes. This is a quality beer that I would pick up again, especially for a lazy beach day.
