You'd be wise to pick up CLB's Busted Prop, a hoppy American wheat ale that greets you with the aroma of tropical fruit and spice. A big, bright citrus taste follows, balanced by a wheat smoothness. With a clean, hoppy finish, you''ll want to raise another--along with the trim.

Had on tap. Clear bronze body, two fingers of white foam. Wheat, general citrus and moderate hop bitters. That's it for both smell and taste, none are super defined or potent. Feel is not very pale, decently wheat and hop driven but watery in the middle. Crushable and forgettable

I got a can of this off the single shelf from a Binnys near my old stomping grounds. It poured a hazy orangish with thin white head that is leaving some lace. The scent had faint fruit notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with malt presence and fruit highlights. The mouthfeel was medium in body with good carbonation. Overall its a good beer.

Pours a foggy yellow gold, small head, minimal lacing. Nice hop aroma and flavor. Medium bodied, nice carbonation. Probably better suited as a summer guzzler. I could probably drink a bunch on a fishing day.
