Got three Sixers at local grocery for $3.99 a piece! Couldn't believe the deal! This is a fantastic every day beer for those of us that prefer a bold ipa, a crisp pilsner, or tart lager.
This beer has character, yet maintains just above the session level abv... but not too high abv category. A keeper...

Served in a pint.
Appearance: Cloudy body with light sedimentsto the frame, off-white head rising just about half a finger's length. Almost zero lacing.
Smell: Sweet citrus scent but doesn't last a long time.
Taste: Smooth sweet citrus and light peaches, I can't be the only tasting it.
Mouth: Semi-sticky, sweet malts.
Overall: Great pick-up, definitely going back for another six pack considering in the mist of a BBQ the brew is super refreshing. Salud!

Visiting Syracuse NY this week and tried this. Interesting take on a white ale. Less of a Belgian influence that I've found in many white ales. Nice aroma and very delicate yet complex fruity flavors. Finishes smooth. Very refreshing.

The prism is a decent wheat beer. It pours a hazy yellow (with floaties....I hate floaties) and white head that is leaving a spotty lace. The scent has citrus notes to it. The taste is starts yeasty then finishes with a grape fruit kick. The mouthfeel is lighter in body with decent carbonation. Overall its ok.

A very hazy white ale, with a bit of a citrus aroma to it. A tart and sweet citrus flavor to it. Very crisp, and a very nice lawnmower beer for people who don't something hoppy like an IPA or a pale ale.
