It is golden in color with a pretty white head. There is a slight fruit and wheat smell on the nose. This ale is light in body, great carbonation but light in taste. I was expecting more wheat to heffe, this is more wheat to lager.

An average beer. With a lower ABV and a bit of refreshing citrus probably not a bad choice for the cooler on a hot summer day. But by no means a great representation of the style.

Centennial hops, grapefruit and orange peels, make this a wheat ale that’s enjoyable after a nice bout of yard work. This is easily drinkable, though not big wheat fan, this one could grow on me over time.

A: The beer is relatively clear pale yellow in color and has a light amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a quarter finger high white head that quickly settled down, leaving thin layer of bubbles on the surface, a narrow collar around the edge, and some lacing down the sides of the glass.
S: Light to moderate aromas of grapefruit and orange citrus are present in the nose along with hints of floral hops.
T: The taste has flavors of grapefruit citrus and pale malts along with notes of floral hops, the latter of which contribute a light amount of bitterness.
M: It feels a bit more than light-bodied on the palate and has a low to moderate amount of carbonation.
O: The light body nature of this beer makes it very easy to drink but the citrus adds some flavors without being hardly hoppy at all.
Serving type: can

It's not bad, not the best of the style that I've had, but it's pleasant enough. Fairly clear, very light and mild.
