This beer pours a pale straw with an average head. The aroma is mild and slightly rubbery, with clove, banana bread, orange peel, marzipan, cantaloupe, and a little floral tinge. The flavor starts gentle and sweet, with flavors of lemon curd, clove, coriander, bubblegum, cantaloupe, and a little bit of pencil eraser. The mouthfeel starts very light, then fills out a bit with foamy carbonation. Overall this is an okay white ale, maybe a touch light for my liking.

12 oz bottle. Pours a hazy light yellow with a nice white head. The aroma is banana, clove, yeast, biscuits. The flavor has the same with a nice hint of hops. The finish is quite dry and refreshing with a bit of lemon.

Grabbed this in a mix-6 from Binny's. Poured a hazy light gold color with a nearly unnoticeable head. Corriander and bread came through strong on the nose, hints of citrus. Taste followed suit with a crisp spice. Great Lakes never does me wrong.

I quite like this. Standard straw yellow beer, cloudy, good head retention. Bright white colored head.
Aroma and flavors very malt forward, crispy, slightly dry but balanced. Nice bread flavors, yeasty. Also has a spicy note, likely corriander if it is brewed as per style, light citrus notes. Touch of pepper/phenol
Drinkability is high, light, not overwhelming. Carbonation is on the softer end.
Overall an excellent iteration of the style, highly enjoyable, well crafted.

Excellent beer. Tastes just like Cigar City Florida Cracker, which is a stellar wheat beer. Highly recommended this

Draft at Lost & Found. Pale golden pour with small white foamy head. Aroma is light and savory, grassy and spicy. Taste features more of the coriander and pepper on top of a mildly sweet fruity base. Wit straying over into saison territory.
