Poured from a bottle into a pint glass
Appearance – The beer pours a clear golden-yellow color with a small head of white foam. The head fades rather fast leaving a light level of foamy lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell – The aroma is strongest of a wheat and grain smell mixed with some light notes of lemongrass and spice. Along with these smells comes a touch of orange as well as notes of hay and grass.
Taste – The taste begins with a cracker malt flavor paired with a bit of grain and some wheat. At the same time there are notes of lemon and lemongrass with some spice of coriander and clove. The coriander and lemongrass grow a bit stronger as the taste advances and are joined by a touch of yeast, and with a hint of sweet citrus, one is left with a rather crisp and clean taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – T bohedy is light and crisp with a higher carbonation level. Overall good for the abv and style and makes for an easy sipper.
Overall – A rather decent and crisp summer style ale. Nothing extraordinary, but easy drinking and refreshing none the less.

Very bright and hazy wheatbeer pour.

Smells tame. Slightly floral yeast profile, some faint lemongrass. Tastes like it smells: light and crisp, sweet wheat throughout with a wee bit of lemon on the finish. Similar to, say, 312 or Oberon, but there's just not as much going on here as with those other beers.

Disappointing. Smell was encouraging but first taste was suprisingly lacking any real flavor or feel. Extremely watery, faint lemon hint, definitely won't buy again.

Fairly decent beer by Wachusett Brewing. Very light and a good taste. I am more for the IPA's so this is fairly light to me. Definitely one to try.....
