Can from the packie in Hyannis
Deep gold color with a good sized frothy white head that persists. Bready grainy cereal maltiness with bits of earth and spice to counter. Not bad but a little full bodies for my taste from a wheat beer.

From a can with a smudged stamped date or code on the bottom. Sampled on Feb 21, 2020.
It looks like a craft wheat ale with its slightly cloudy amber tone and a tremendous, long lasting white foamy head.
The aroma has a wheat presence as to be expected and then a slight lemon presence or maybe more like citrus. But I also get this olive oil sensation.
Light to medium smooth body.
The taste is sweet and toasted at the start and then it evolves into a lemongrass and mildly hopped end.

Served on tap at the brewery in a plastic cup.
Clear golden colored white head disappeared quickly leaving good lacing. Aroma some breadiness. Taste of bready malts with some fruit. A very decent wheat

Rather thin, but very smooth. Not too citrusy

A very solid wheat beer in an attractive 12 oz. can. Offers an appealing contrast to the ever-popular IPA's. Well carbonated with a somewhat lemony taste. Unobtrusive 4.2% ABV that is hardly noticeable. Hopefully this will be a year-round product rather than a summer seasonal as I think it would be quite drinkable regardless of the temperature.
