Originally known as Spring Heat Spiced Wheat
We’ve shaken up traditional tastes by brewing a spiced Belgian-style wheat ale with real orange, lemon and lime peels,and then added a little coriander spice to the mix. This uniquely-crafted and award-winning ale is unfiltered to create a brew that is naturally cloudy with a light golden color and a smooth, refreshing finish.

If I was a 15-year-old girl, I'd be like, "OMG WTF is this?" Actually, if I was a 15-year-old girl, I'd probably like this beer, because it seems that that's the basic demographic that goes for this stuff. It sucks when you go to an event and they have a "craft" tap and as you make your way through the crowd waiting to see what it is, you say to yourself, "Please don't be Shock Top, please don't be Shock Top." and then...it's Blue Moon. Or Shock Top. Give me a break. Ah, InBud, your mediocrity is mind-boggling.
Anyway, this pours cloudy yellow with a small white head that fades rather quickly.
Aroma is wheat, citrus, banana, and yeast. Sort of generic.
Flavor is very generic with wheat, lemon, orange, banana, and bubblegum. Very uninspiring.
Palate is light and annoyingly harsh and acidic. This beer is a donkey punch to the face of Belgium by Anheuser-Busch. Just don't drink it unless you have to. Calling this a Belgian wit is like calling Bagel Bites Italian cuisine.
Drinkability is average.

Tap hit at a local seafood place. They added a dollar to the value by calling it a ‘craft beer’, lol.,.
Cold and flat in the chilled mug, a wedge of orange attached. Smells bland, but slightly Sunny D. Taste is ok to rinse a shrimp po’boy down, but I’ll not get a refill.,.
