Pours a somewhat effervescent amber with a finger of cream colored head. Average head retention
S: Wheatyness that fades fast
T: Some grainyness, mineral & grassy hops up front, faint apple flavors too. Apple peel flavors dominates as this warms, dryness is there along with some grassyness. Finishes grainy & crisp with some pear flavor once very warm
MF: Thin, grainy with an okay carbonation level
Average drinkability this is a very forgettable beer in a very mediocre summer mixed 12 pack. I'm not sure I'll buy any future ones based on this group of 6 mediocre beers

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.
