Pours golden amber with a decent head. Citrus aroma. Tastes like a souped up blue moon. Citrus and pine flavors are the central part of the palate. Pretty damn good.

Refrigerated 12 oz. aluminum can poured into a weizen glass. Hazy golden with small white head. Aroma is light herbal hops, medium/light body, medium/light carbonation, and pretty good small-bubble lacing. Taste is light herbal hops, some orange peel, and wheat esters.

355ml can (2017 version, 7%). Hazy orange with no head. Aroma of sweat, orange, spices. Taste isn't much better either, some orange and spices, herbal, wheat malt, again a weird almost sweaty taste to it. Light-medium body, soft carb. Strange one, some nice flavours in there getting lost in off ones.

A hazed blonde weizen with a thin white head. In aroma, sweet fruity banana malt with cloves, light spices, alcohol warmth, nice. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity malt with loads of banana esters, cloves, light mineral notes, nice and smooth. On tap at Level One.

Crisp, relatively clear copper and orange coloured body with a thin white head that stays afloat for a while. Aroma of tea, bright yeast, bunches of coriander seed and a dose of fresh oranges in the mix - more than just the peel, this smells like the full orange. Medium-bodied; Assertive coriander seed and grassy freshness that also shows some yeast, curacao, light grain, a touch of spices and a finishing of sugars - nice and pungent, but the tea flavours are the strongest of the bunch and hit really hard at first. Aftertaste shows some more mellow flavours with the curacao and full orange hits the strongest, but with a mellow malt and bite near the end, this turns out to be relatively straight forward and still complex throughout - nice to try! I sampled this stubby twelve ounce bottle purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 22-July-2016 for US$2,19 sampled at home in Washington on the day Chelsea won the English Premier League on 12-May-2017.

12 oz can. Pale yellowish color with a fizzy white head and light lace. Flowers, spice, wheat, and orange aroma. Tea, grass, and grains too. Light bodied, with a softer carbonation early, it finishes with a spicy tingle. Drinks like a 5% beer, was surprised to see it is up around 7%.

Even though I read imperial wheat ale, I yield a slight confused look at untapped and ratebeer, well, what do I pour it in....hard stare, opted for weizen glass, okay fair enough, and here’s the rest.
The appearance was a soft glossy yellow color with a slight transparency about it. Carbonation rises at a decent pace. But not a normal big foamy head to dissipate like a normal hefeweizen.
The smell had some sweet wheat with a sweet orange juiciness to it. Coriander is somewhat there.
The flavor brings the sweet wheat to the orange juice. Underlying sweet orange pulp in the aftertaste following on into the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a spectacular sessionability about it. ABV seems almost too well hidden, whoah, really, yeah.
Overall, imperial APWA to me or perhaps just an APWA more or less. Great sessionable flavor to pound on my fishing boat, would have again.
