Pours clear, gold in color with one inch head. Taste is wheat, light banana, and coriander. Sweet, medium bodied, and high carbonation. Clean, above average, and tasty. Nothing I would go out of my way for but nothing to pass over either. Nice summer beer.

Had at the brewery today, the second day it's been tapped. Pours a straw color, very hazy, with a white head that sticks around. Smells of some wheat tang and yeast. Starts pretty sweet, going into those yeast flavors and a subtle hint of spice. Finishes with a bit of sourness and a touch bitter. It's pretty clingy on the mouth. Overall a decent but unremarkable APWA.

My wife and I both had this and agreed it tasted and had a nose of pickle juice. I had it on draft at the brewery, would not recommend.

The beer pours a slightly hazy gold color with a frothy bleached white head of 3 cm even with a gentle pour into my snifter.
Aroma is some wheat twang, a little light fruit and some slight spicyness. The aroma is light and sort of mild overall, but seems appropriate for the style.
First sip reveals a light body with crisp texture and fine spacious carbonation.
Flavor is a bit of grainy and husky malt followed by some wheaty twang, and a bit of sweet spiciness. I get a little bit of earthy or maybe spicy hop bite on the finish, which is also very dry on my palate.
The beer is very easy to drink and while the nose nor flavor are overly robust, what it has is pleasant and enjoyable. This is a pretty good beer for a hot day and I find myself finishing this growler pretty quickly on this June evening.
Could be a good pool or beach beer, just have to worry about the glass container. Otherwise worth a shot.
