Pleasant light bodied quaff. Seems to be a nice balance of very light aromatic hops with just a touch of wheat malt. Better by far than run of the mill American wheat beers. Color is an appealing hazy amber. Sediment in the bottom, and that has a really nice hoppy smell.

Oops, I apparently finished this while trying to figure out BA message system. Give it Super Worthy for drinkability.

Brewery says this was brewed half with Ale yeast and the other half with Belgian Wit yeast. Also claims to be brewed with Zythos hops (a blend) and Calypso (new high alpha-acid hop). IBU listed at 20. Does have a nice floral aroma that is not the usual.

Serving type: 12 oz bottle into a shaker pint

Pours a golden yellow with the slightest of haze. Smell is of citrusy hops, pleasant wheat, slight citrus oil scents. Taste reflects the smell. Initial citrus hoppiness, prevalent wheatiness, slight hops bitterness at the end mixed with a wheat aftertaste. Refreshing. Feel is light, amply carbonated which compliments the lighter flavors well. Overall, this is an amply named beer that is light and easy to drink.

Poured from a 12oz bottle into a pint glass.

L: hazy golden in color with a fluffy white head that never really goes away. Nice looking beer

S: malted wheat with citrus hops. Notes of lemon peel. Good hoppy wheat aroma.

T: soft, subtly sweet malted wheat nicely balanced by lemony hops. Grapefruit and lemon peel bitterness. Bright and flavorful. Well done

M: full mouthfeel, slightly dry finish.

O: a good hoppy wheat ale. This one was expertly paired with an 82°F February afternoon in Tucson whilst grilling some carne asada tacos, thinking of the poor bastards back home shoveling. Who said it's too early for spring beer?!

Thanks to Orthodoxkardia for this extra.

12oz bottle. Pours a hazy burnt orange with a 1/2 inch of head. Minimal lacing. The aroma is floral hops and tangerine with some wheat, banana and cloves. Tangy. The taste is tangerine, orange peel, banana, and cloves. Some light spicy wheat followed by some floral hops. Finishes with some orange peel, banana and light spices. Lightly carbonated with a body on the lighter side. Almost tastes like a happier version of a Hefeweizen. Overall, a solid warm weather beer.
