    I tired it on tap at a bar when it was first released, and had only a handful of BA reviews/ratings. Curious to try something labeled as a chocolate wheat beer as opposed to a chocolate stout or the likes. Didn't think it was that bad at the first sip, but had a tough time finishing the second half of the pint. Way too much of a fake chocolate taste

    Like target practice with an AR?

    I'm not using hyperbole when i say that the Honeycrisp Apple Wheat made me want to throw up.

    It tastes exactly like Coors Light (or some potentially worse BMC AAL) infused with applejacks cereal

    Thanks for the heads up - interest gone.

    It's actually pretty decent. I prefer to mix it with the Raspberry Wheat instead of the Belgian White though.

    I'll try any beer once, and I did try this, I liked it both alone and mixed.

    I just HAD to stop at the Safeway in the crappy part of town, and saw a guy picking up a 6er of this. I tried to talk him out of it-- I told him there were so many better brews... he still took the 6er and looked at me like I had two heads. Personally I've had the Shock Top Chocolate and definitely poured it out after the first three sips.

    I hope you run into someone who does the exact same thing to you next time you go into a car dealership, even if it's a car dealership not in the "crappy part of town."

    I had it on tap twice. The first time I drank it and liked it. I did have a few drinks before. The second time, it tasted weird to me, like no choclate flavor. Maybe if a case in on sale, I buy it.

    Overall its good when you have people over who might not like craft beer, but can't bring yourself to buy coors light.

    It wasn't bad but I won't be buying it again. Like a previous poster said, I ll try anything once if it's beer

    I was not a fan of this beer. I think it's too sweet and not wheat-ey enough. The BMC origin doesn't bother me at all. I just didn't enjoy the taste.

    Tried it a few weeks ago....It's not bad.
