Has a great wheat flavor to start off and a watermelon after taste. Color is a hazy gold with a nice foam-y head. Really
enjoy this beer. The watermelon flavor is very unique and definitely would try this again, especially in summer months as a nice refresher.

Advertised as a session beer - lo-cal, and "crushworthy"...two out of three ain't bad...
It was quite possibly the most milquetoast session beer I have every had. Other than the nice straw-colored look of the beer, the rest of it was pretty much 'meh'. There were supposed to be notes of lemon and other citrus - but it was so watered down that it was practically non-existent.
As far as something to have during the summer months - out on a hot day - this would work. But even then, I feel like it would leave you wanting...

Nose is pleasant grassy hops and mild bread and butter but pretty faint. Lots of carbonation and a moderate citrus burst but only a trace of wheat or malt at all. Just not much for body, but yeah, easy to drink I guess. Almost reminds me more of a gose than a wheat.

Depends on what you're looking for. I, personally, think it tasted horrible. I got a 12 pack with 3 cans of 4 different flavors. The notes of whatever fruit they said they're using was barely there and overpowered by the flavor of the wheat beer. As far as looks, well, it looks like a light beer. Nice head, lot of carbonation. Feels smooth and wet, it's just the flavor. If you enjoy Coors/Miller/Bud Lite, then you'd probably enjoy these.

I got a 6pck of cans of this beer from a drive-thru beer store in Willard, Ohio. The beer poured a hazy golden with white head that dissipated quickly leaving no head and no lace. The scent had citrus notes and orange and lemon notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink (crushworthy) with wheat malt base and light citrus highlights. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a good beer.

This beer pours a hazy yellow/orange color with a minimal head. It has a very week aroma of sweet malt and citrus. The taste is similar to a very weak unsweetened lemon-aid. Of course its very "crushable" as it has only 105 calories.

Great Lakes Brewing Co. "Crushworthy Lo-Cal Citrus Wheat"
12 fl. oz. can. "SEE BOTTOM FOR ENJOY BY DATE. 32066DM 11/06/22". Sampled on 06/20/22
Notes via stream of consciousness: This is a low calorie beer brewed with orange and lemon. It's just 105 calories per can with 7.5 grams of carbs. In comparison, Bud light has 110 calories and 6 grams of carbs. It's poured a very hazy straw gold body beneath a half inch head of white foam. The aroma is citrusy and wheaty with lemon backed by orange. It's pleasant and welcoming. The flavor follows with a gently sweetish malt base, a delicate acidity, and the same notes of wheat, lemon, and orange that are found in the nose. It's not that bitter; are the IBUs listed on the label? No, but it's definitely low, maybe 12 or so. It's light bodied and crisp across the palate with a gently zesty, fine-bubbled carbonation and the aforementioned acidity. It's a very basic beer and kind of one-sided but it's also bright and refreshing. I personally really see this as a summer beer but to each his own.

Poured from 12oz can to weizen glass. Pours hazy pale yellow almost lemonade colored with a large soft white head that dies down a bit after a few minutes. Leaves some lacing behind in the glass. Smell is vague citrus and a sharp grain aroma. Taste is grain and malt up front, a bit of citrus and wheat bread in the middle, finishes with some leftover citrus and wheat. No flavor is bold or particularly stands out. Feel is light, soft, smooth, low carbonation, very easy to drink and drink fast. Overall, good summer beer, but not the most flavorful choice.

On tap at local bar. This is worst wheat beer I 've ever tasted and easily the worst beer from the fine GLBC. Almost no taste to speak of, maybe a little faint citrus. Thought I was drinking an Oberon mixed with water. Little in the way of smell either. No head, no lacing. Heck, no anything. I realize this is GLBC 's attempt at a light , low calorie wheat beer, but this misses the mark. I will continue to drink their other fine beers though.
