This one pours a deep hazy amber color with a little bit of off-white head that quickly forms a cover on the beer and doesn't really lace.
The aroma is heavy on wheat and has strong caramel undertones. Something about the wheat smell here just seems so manufactured i can't put my finger on it..
Taste is of wheat, caramel malt, lemon, some orange with a little bit of floral notes.
Relatively light-bodied brew with medium carbonation. Mouthfeel is ok- but this one goes down easy, above all else. Not a bad lawnmower brew--and certainly a very well priced case.

Looks like a yellow beer with 1/2" head and minimal particulate (wheat) floating around. Aroma was grainy.
Taste was a bland affair, easy enough to drink but far from enjoyable. Its just there. Everything Saranac makes is always a toned down affair, and that's fine and all. Wheat beers have always suffered from a bland descriptor, and this one is bland for even an alleged bland style.
