Pours hazy yellow, big white head.
Big grassy wheat smells, bit of orange
Nice mix of wheat and orange flavors, some sweetness giving it an lingering orange candy feel. Quick finish. and little booze make this very drinkable.
The wheat malts may dominate, but the citra adds a nice citrus profile to what otherwise might be a standard wheat ale. Well constructed as always from 3 notched.

On tap:
Pours a pale yellow, with a good amount of haze, almost cloudy. Head is a decently creamy white, but with a smattering of big bubbles. The head is also a little light. A swirl brings a slowly fading white film to the top.
Nose is more grain, bready, and not much of the Citra hops comes through, initially. With some time, a light lemony citrus note comes across.
Taste is simple, but nicely so. Also a bread grain start, but fairly smooth, if a tad light. The bitterness is fairly neutral-with a hint of citrus pith.
A straightforward, light, refreshing, balanced beer that isn't going to excite you, but hopefullly has you enjoying it. I liked the balanced nature, and thought it gave me just enough of what I was expecting to get a decent rating.

Pours a hazy golden yellow with a moderate head from the growler. Lacing as I enjoy the beer. Strong citrus fragrance with good tastemakes that extremely easy to enjoy on a hot summer afternoon in lieu of lemonade!

Appearance: a light straw yellow color. a finger plus white foamy head when I got it. foam fades slowly and left a good lacing. completely hazy and opaque.
Smell: strong citrusy hops, orange to slightly more tropical fruit. strong sweet wheat smell. over all the balance tends slightly toward sweet
Taste: opens up with some sweet wheat to caramel malt flavors, end has a mixture of orange peel and some slight tropical fruitiness.
Mouthfeel: light and refreshing. a touch too sweet for me.
Overall: a nice refreshing summer ale. in my opinion it could use some more bitterness to go along with the nice hop flavors.
