Pours with a hazy golden color - unfiltered. Slight white head. Yeasty nose with citrus in background. Mouthfeel has a nice citric bite which refreshes well. Just enough hops to clear out the palate.
An excellent summertime referesher. Not a lot going on, but thats the point of this beer..

Dark yellow color, substantial white head, full on over an inch. Aroma was lacking anything. Smells like a little wheat.
Taste plenty of fruity yeast flavors, mildly sweet. Mouthfeel still managed to finish plenty dry though. Light body and hearty yeast flavors come together here. One of the better wheat beers out there, plenty sweet, uplifting and good tasting.

Reviewed from notes: pours a slightly hazy light yellow golden with white fizzy head. Citrus, wheat, and some light grass on the nose; follows onto the palate. Light bodied. Finishes with wheat and light citrus.

Pours a slightly hazy with lots of particulates, deep straw/pale gold producing 1.75 fingers of off-white, frothy, moderately lasting head that leaves a heavy web of thick lace. Aroma is wheat & pale malt, citrus, floral & tropical hop notes. Overall quite delicate & subdued. Taste is also delicate but more robust than the nose: wheat, bread, hoppy hints of earth, pineapple, orange, thin lemon with some banana & spicy pepper throughout & some bitterness beginning in the finish. Aftertaste is hoppy fruit, citric & slightly bitter. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with with moderate carbonation, crisp but not clean being quite prickly & leaving a phenolic bitterness presence on the tongue. Listed as a Hefeweizen, it is certainly the most hop forward wheat beer I've tasted to date.

12oz can. 7/21/15 canned date. Appearance: Light golden, mostly clear, nice frothy white foam cap with good lacing. Aroma: Citrus, floral, resin hoppy notes. Malt not noticeable. Taste: Light crackery malt with a moderate grassy, resinous hop bitterness. Mouthfeel: Light to medium body with slight creaminess, moderate carbonation. Finish: Dry, sticky resinous bitterness lingers. No residual malt flavor. Overall: Fairly one dimensional hoppy wheat, with nice floral and citrus aromas that don’t come thru in the taste.
