Light golden with a distinct floral and honey aroma, this wheat IPA is lively and bright. Bold, citrusy hops and a slightly sweet maltiness make this an easy-drinking yet full-flavored brew

Finishing up the last of the mixed 12 pack.
Poured into a pint the beer is a hazy dark yellow with fluffy off white head. It has sheets of lacing.
It has a nose is citrus and grains. It is fresh and inviting.
The taste is slightly bitter with lemon notes (assume it's the lemon grass) and some slight pepper like spice. It's pretty refreshing and may be a good beer to pair with food.
The mouth is crisp and on the lighter side of medium.
I liked it and could see that it would go well with some medium spiced noodle dishes.
