Canned on 8.16.22

12oz can poured into a willi glass

Pours bright bjt cloudy golden with a finger foamy head, little lacing left behind and settled into a slight ring. 4.25

Aroma off the can is mostly lemon dominant citrus. Off the glass I get much more hops and then followed by some lemon zest. 4

Taste is a fairly mild bitter hoppy and bready mix, with lemon peeking it's head out. 4

Body is even balanced carbo and creamy wheat mix with a residual but subtle bready aftertaste. 4.25

Overall a great and very tasty summer wheat beer. More savory than sweet, filling over refreshing, but very good overall. 4.25

A- huge fluffy head that leaves lots of lacing, beautiful golden straw color that is delightfully opaque, and some enticing sediment swirling around
S-Citrus fruit, piney hops, grapefruit
T-Surprisingly hop forward, resin, honey, some bread rising up in the center, citrus fruit
M- low point of the beer as it’s a bit flimsy, but not enough to detract from the taste aroma and appearance.
O- looks great and tastes great. Surprisingly hoppy for the style but it works!

Pours out of the can a slightly opaque orange-gold with about a finger of head and nice lacing. Smells like pine, grapefruit, and maybe even mango? Tastes like grapefruit and a good hop-malt balance. Fizzy mouthfeel that's nice and crisp

A little expensive but it’s the gold standard of crushable wheat ales

Golden filtered with a half finger of white head.

Smells of pine, pineapple, green olives and apple sauce.

The taste is of honey, malt, pine, orchids, lemon and a hint of bitterness.

Light body with moderate carbonation.

I got this in Grand Rapids, MI, and am drinking it in Phuket Thailand, Dec 23rd, 2022. American Wheat Pale Ale, ok, converts any hop head over.

I like the can artwork, great use of color. The taste reminds me of a pale ale mixed with a wheat ale. Moreover, on the taste I'm getting a mild mix of piney hops but nothing overwhelming my palate, orange, grapefruit, & juicy fruit gum near the finish. Cheers! B

On tap at Copenhagen Beer Festival 2011. Golden colour, moderate white head. Lovely piney and resinous aroma, also notes of tropical fruits. The flavour has also notes of pine and tropical fruits, very pleasant and thirstquenching.

Pale gold pour, nice white foam cap with some staying power. The nose is citrus. Tangerine and lemon citrus prevails in the taste, with a delicious white wheat punch toward the finish that brings cracker and a refreshing bite. This is a great summer go-to.
