Can. Grass, orange peel, and caramel malt aroma. Hazy golden yellow with moderate head. Moderately sweet orange caramel malt, and moderately bitter floral orange peel flavor. Good body. Straight forward but pretty nice.

Fairly hazy pale golden and light copper coloured body with only an oily off-white head on top - nothing significant at all. Aroma of grapefruit, alcohol, lemons and a bit of lower alpha acid hops. Light-bodied; Strong wheat and mild hoppy flavours at first with some grain, alcohol, pine and bitterness and only a bit of grass, grapefruit and yeast flavours showing through at the end. Aftertaste shows some subdued bitterness, a touch of sweetness, a light grassy and fresh flavour from the wheat and the yeast and ends nice and mellow. Overall, a good and robust beer, if not celebrated and refined - this one is an easy drink, but still has some good flavours throughout. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Whole Foods in Pentagon City (Arlington), Virginia at the end of my driveway for US$1,99, at my hotel room here in Chelsea, New York, New York on 02-December-2016.

Can: Pine, bread crust nose, hints of cocoa. Clear amber, thin head. Lemon, pineapple, dandelion. Medium body, easy carbonation. One of the better examples of the style.

12 oz can poured into a tulip. Courtesy of DCLawyer, thanks Jason! Canned sometime in July 2016, date stamp got misaligned on the bottom edge. Mostly clear golden yellowish orange with almost a finger of off-white head. Aromas of citrus, tropical fruit, light malt, wheat. Tastes of floral notes, some citrus, toasty biscuit, light malt. Medium body with a dry finish. Tasty hopped up wheat ale.

$1.95 Can from Wine Warehouse. Pours clear pale golden with a small quickly dissipating white head. Ends up looking like cider. Nice aroma of orange peel, pineapple, grass. Flavor is good: light vanilla, caramel, orange peel, light grass. Wheat finish, but otherwise I wouldn’t have guessed this was a wheat ale based on flavor.

Draft at the brewery. Pours a slightly hazy golden color with a medium sized creamy white head. Good head retention. Aroma of citrus, floral and herbal hops with a wheat finish. The taste is herbal, resin, citrus hops and dry wheat. Thin-medium bodied. Decent.
