Pours a slightly hazy yellowish amber with a thick white head that takes its time receding and leaving fine lacing. Aroma is flowery, difficult to describe, I'm not acquainted with the "chamomile tea" the brewer claims to have infused the beer with. Flavor is sweet, melons and honey. Feel is light to medium bodied, with only adequate carbonation. Overall not in my wheelhouse. I won't drain pour but certainly will not seek out.

Deep golden, hazy, with zero head and no lacing within 5 minutes. Not heavily carbonated. Uncuous for this genre. Most noticable is combination pumpkin pie/floral fragrance, heavy to the last drop. Worth trying and savoring, but maybe too over- powering in fragrance to drink by the pitcher.

The chamomile tea notes are pretty strong. Really overwhelms the wheat base to this. Some light floral notes and a little sweetness on the malt....couldn't drink more than one of these personally...too much tea and too sweet...

From the can, this pours a golden amber color, with OK lacing and fair head retention. On the nose, I get light clove, graham cracker and a hint of spice and light soap. The flavor profile replicates the nose, except this is really light and watery. Mouthfeel is light and pretty watery, and the finish is pretty much nonexistent. I guess there's some spice and light clove at the end.

Shrug. I guess this would make a decent training wheel beer for someone accustomed to drinking flavorless AAL swill. For me, this is pretty much undrinkable, and made me want to go out in search of something more flavorful. Pretty sure I won't be revisiting this drain pour of a beer any time soon again.

I had this in a flight at Tin Whiskers last weekend. It was my favorite in the flight. It pours a golden amber, but without much of a head. I'd get it again though.

Pours a clear yellow colour. Whiff of honey, chamomile, wheat on nose. Light wheat beer, touch of honey lends a smooth light sweetness throughout. Tea lies subtle underneath with a hint on the finish.

Good summer beer. Not too heavy, like some wheat beers. Slight citrus taste, very smooth, mild golden in color, not much aftertaste on the backside but still flavorful. Overall, pretty good beer.

definitely a unique and delicious brew, and definitely my favorite of the tin whiskers stuff i got to have. its a wheat beer brewed with honey and chamomile tea, and it has a lot of both in it. hazy and frothy looking beer, very pale yellow, with a pungent herbaceous aroma of floral tea, the chamomile makes an impact right away. there are also some grassy bittering hops in this, more than normal in a pale wheat beer. the flavor is bomb, perhaps a little perfumey on the chamomile, but i love it with the wheat malt. the honey cuts the bitter element way back and gives the beer a real lively brightness, raw honey, pollen and wax and deliciousness, not too sweet in the end but an awesome true honey flavor. i think the hops are awesome too, they really compliment both of these special ingredients. this is the beer that will put these guys on the map. it has a great feel too, super frothy and sudsy and expansive, satisfying and slammable. i liked it a lot just right from the pint can. warms up well too, this is just a great beer.

Very pleasant wheat beer smell, much more than Boulevard's wheat beer. Some definite flower notes along with some citrus. Has a gorgeous golden clear look. Virtually no lacing. Taste is light n silky with a smooth finish. Flowwry, citrusy with some apple taste. Would have liked a little more hop bite but this one is good nonetheless. Would definitely drink this one again.

L: Pours bright gold amber (SRM 4-7) from a bomber into an ale glass with a slight chill haze under a 2” cream colored foam cap that dissipates to a thick film in about 2 minutes.
S: White bread wheat with citrus notes with a faint trace of spice and floral. More hop than fermentation character. No clove, banana or bubble gum.
T: Juicy citrus palate with orange, apple, a hint of honey and herbal tea.
F: Medium body and carbonation.
O: A decent, drinkable wheat that doesn't stand out but does the job.
