Interesting wheat. The color is a beautiful golden-yellow cloudy with an average head and outstanding lacing!. The aroma is sweet, fruit-like wheat maltness. The taste is similar, almost too sweet. The bitterness seems a tad more than most of this style. The Witbier characteristics are there but seem to be all over the place. The berry sweetness and the bitterness are a just a little too extreme to balance this beer. An OK wheat that I might not revisit.

355ml can. "We ain't serious about a lotta things, but beer ain't one of 'em" (tm). Yeesh, all you have to do is the marketing, and that's what you come up with?
This beer pours a clear, bright medium golden yellow hue, with three fingers of puffy, foamy off-white head, which leaves a decent array of cobwebbed lace around the glass as it slowly ebbs away.
It smells of semi-sweet, almost sugary wheat malt, applesauce, a bit of strawberry puree (??), a hint of bland clove, subtle white pepper, and tame earthy, leafy hops. The taste is more sweet pie-crust malt, less wheat and more generic processed grain, a continually baffling vegetal strawberry fruitiness, ethereal white pepper, some fading apple skins, and a mere suggestion of earthy, and not even skanky hops.
The carbonation is rather unassuming, and generally inert, the body an ok medium weight, and actually smooth enough. It finishes well off-dry, wheaty, fruity, and a tad yeasty, underwhelming all.
An average wheat beer, with a fair amount of intriguing flavours, good and less than good, however, there's no crispness, very little yeast, and too heavy a reliance on the overall sweetness. I'm just glad this doesn't make my head hurt as much as their advertising slogan.

Pours a cloudy dull yellow/gold color with a good amount of white head, but doesn't last long.
Aroma is earthy, straw and wheat are the main notes. A little bit of citrus.
Taste is a sweet herbal combination, a little bit of orange, but overall the flavors are really muted. Buttered Biscuit on the finish. Mouthfeel is a little thin, but not bad.
