22 oz bottle poured into stemmed tulip style glasses.
Light golden color and nice head on the beer.
Pleasant, and balanced wheat ale, and a bit more hoppy when compared to other wheat ales.
Overall, another solid beer from O'Connor. I will continue to support this local brewery from Norfolk, seeing how I live 15 minutes away in Virginia Beach.

I don't see any bottle date on the bottle or label.
Appearance: The beer is a light hazy golden color with a very thick long-lasting foamy white head. The head looks like a beautiful meringue. It looks perfect.
Aroma: It has this sort-of dank hoppy aroma with a bit of a spicy edge. It smells nice but it doesn't exude a ton of hop character. It gives you some hop aroma but it just doesn't punch out of the glass. The bottle touts this as a "hoppy American Wheat Ale" so I'm hoping it make a larger presence in the flavor department.
Taste: Some of the wheat makes it through and is met with a bit of earthy woody hop flavor. It's a bit like an earthy tea with a bit of cedar. There is a good amount of bitterness to the beer but the flavor of the hops are very recessed into the background of the beer.
Mouthfeel: The bitterness provides the beer with a good edge. It has good carbonation and a medium body.
Overall: I wasn't too impressed. It was more of a "here's a wheat beer with some more hops" than "this is a hoppy American Wheat beer worthy of the title of a battleship." It's ok but it's not something I'd really recommend. Additionally I think that any wheat beer or beer that focuses around hops should have a bottle date or something similar. I'm not detracting from the score but it just makes me wonder if this beer is even fresh.

Poured a straw gold body with great carbonation so a two finger head appears and never really goes away. Aroma mixes some bitter, grassy hops with a little bit of a wheat twang. A smooth, somewhat wheat twanged and sweetened beer that gives off a dirty, oily hop bite. Not a bad beer but the disparate taste profiles of soft/sweet wheat and harsh/bitter hops do not mesh and it's just not a personal favorite of mine.
