I believe this one has been renamed Coriander Wheat, as the abv is the same. On draught at SBC, 03/07/08. 4.5% abv, 13 IBUs. AtThin looking beer, pale, straw golden. Thin ring of lacing. Lemony citrus notes, mild hops, and peppery coriander present in the nose, which isn't very forceful. Everything present in the nose is present in the mouth, and it's a crisp, light beer. Undercarbonated, however, which takes away from the drinkability.

This is described as an unfiltered wheat beer with coriander added. It's pretty damn clear for unfiltered. Maybe it's settled in the keg? It's got a nice head, though.

The main smell component is hops, not what I expected.

The taste has a bit of wheat malt flavors with some crispness from the hops. It is just above average. I can taste the coriander, which is used in extreme moderation.

The body is light -- a little too light for my tastes.

The drinkability is good, though. Overall, this is a very light wheat beer. Just above average and good for thirst-quenching on a Florida summer day or night. Nothing special.
