3.9/5 rDev +3.2%
look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 3 | overall: 4
Appearance: Hazy, yellow color with two fingers of creamy white head that fade with a uniform curtain of lace.
Aroma: Wheat malt, yeast, clove, hints of banana and lemon
Taste: Crisp, wheat malt up front with a good amount of carbonation that pops in your mouth. Towards the finish some spiciness and banana oil builds, but still a lot of carbonation prickling the tongue. Finish has a slightly lingering banana and orange rind taste.
The Rest: A solid white ale; a good definition of the style.

look: 3.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.75
Appearance:
Hazy, pale yellow body with a small, white head. Retention leaves a lot to be desired. Light carbonation.
Aroma:
Bright coriander and black pepper over a musty, wheat backbone. Yeast is noticeable. For the simplicity of it, it's very pleasant.
Taste:
Pretty simple affair here, like the aroma. Sweet wheat right up with a hint of citrus hops. Plenty of coriander. Pepper on the finish.
Mouthfeel:
Light and refreshing. Decent carbonation. Clean, slightly sweet finish.
Overall:
For the style, it's a worthy contender. Easy to drink and enough flavor to please, this is a solid summer beer.

Smells- Yeast and spice
Tastes- Some pleasant fruit flavor with spicy notes. A little bit of citrus.
Mouthfeel- Medium body and smooth. Very refreshing
Overall- A decent beer especially in the summer.
