Pours a slightly hazy straw color. The had is white and thin with moderate retention. Just a bit of lacing can be seen.
Lots of wheat in the nose. Its accompanied by sweet pineapple and light tropical hops bitterness.
Wheat, pineapple juice, orange slices, and a hint of lemon and honey.
The mouthfeel light bodied with tingling carbonation. Its quite refreshing with all the summer flavors.
All in all pretty solid.

A refreshingly quaffable session ale that is balanced and tasty. Even my friends who are not too keen on wheat beers like this one. I stock it as a regular part of the fridge.

Poured from a 12 OZ can into a pint glass. The appearance is a semi clear gold color with a small white head. The aroma is citrus and wheat. The taste is watery and mild.

It’s got a good beer smell. It tastes more like a lager to me. Very slight skunk but quickly replaced by a good balance of malts and hops. It has the cleanest finish I’ve ever had. Almost no aftertaste. I drank it from the can so I have no idea how it looks. It’s solid. Not a world shaker but a quality brew. If you want a lot of flavor with a clean finish this will do it.

Appearance: Hazy, light golden body, with a modest head, which soon dissipates to a slight dusting of foam on the surface. Modest, broken, fine-beaded lacing is present.
Aroma: A dramatic wave of pine hops is offered in the aroma. Pale malt struggles to assert beneath the hops.
Taste: Opens with fairly sharp pine and citric hops, with as well as crisp pale wheat malt. As the taste progresses, the pine and citric hops dominate, but the lightly toasted wheat malt maintains a presence. Finishes with white bread notes and mild citric and pine hop flavors.
Mouth feel: Smooth and soft, with a bit of champagne-like carbonation.
Drinkability/notes: A pleasant and refreshing example, well-made for a long, hot summer.
Presentation: Packaged in a standard twelve-ounce aluminum can, served in a New Belgium Brewing chalice.

Pours to a fluffy white head and symmetrically laces. Hazy gold. Aroma is granted, wheaty and slightly hoppy. Flavor has more hops in it but is wheat and malt forward. Love the balance of grainy wheat, pale malts and grassy, citrus and floral hops. Light and very refreshing. This beer was clearly made for Houston summers. On tap at Pappas Burgers at Hobby airport. Highly recommended.
