A nice malt character but not a very distinctive beer, yet it is easy drinking and enjoyable.

Best by 15 August 2014, if I'm reading the label right.
Pours a clear pale golden yellow. Two fingers of white head. Good retention, decent lacing.
Smell is faint, a bit sharp. Round and warm, sort of corny mild sweetness. High in the nose aromatics, like some light lagers.
Taste is blah. Kinda chalky, kinda empty. Not much there, and what is there is dull.
Feel is meh. Light-bodied, okay carbonation. Not much going on, doesn't add anything to the mediocre flavor.
A rather dull beer. I find very little endearing about it. It could be light on flavor and still be crisp or refreshing, but it's not.

Poured from a 12 oz. bottle into a tall pint glass. Best by date of 08/15/14.
Appearance: Pours a bright and clear straw golden orange with a lot of rising bubbles. About two fingers of white head that slowly settle into a thin creamy layer. Leaves a lot of lacing.
Smell: A crisp, grainy, and fairly fruity malt forward aroma with hints of wheat, grains, and lemon. Upfront wheat and pale malt with hints of grains, straw, cracker, biscuit, cereal, and yeast. Zesty hints of lemon and some orange. Also some hints of coriander spice. Light hints of earthy hops. A pretty solid wheaty aroma.
Taste: Like it smells, a crisp and zesty wheat malt driven taste with good notes of wheat, grains, and lemon fruit. Upfront taste of wheat and pale malt with notes of grains, cracker, straw, biscuit, yeast, and cereal. Fruit notes of lemon zest and orange. Subtle notes of earthy hops in the background. Also some coriander like spice. A pretty nice zesty taste.
Mouthfeel: Light bodied with a moderate level of carbonation. Crisp, clean, and nicely zesty and smooth with a fairly drying finish.
Overall: A pretty solid summer wheat ale. Nice grainy wheat and fruit notes.
