On tap at Appalachia Brewing. Pours out a hazy straw color topped with a white head. Nose is grain wheat a light corn note and some spice. Taste is more of the grain corn wheat malts and a touch of banana.

Bottle: Hazy, gold, with a small white head. Wheat malt, lemon/orange aroma. Taste is slightly tart....citrus, a little banana, wheat malt. A little watery and light, but a very decent amount of flavour.

On tap at the Harrisburg brew pub. Pours a watery gold with a zero head. Nose is totally bland, watery perfume, mild grass. Flavor is totally watered down, lemon, malt, a little perfume. Watery finish.

Reviewed from notes.
The appearance had a hazy golden colored body leaving no head, and some fizziness is heard when it was poured. Some light carbonation is seen rising.
The smell was wheat and lemon up front.
The taste was basically the same.
The palate was about a light to medium in body, semi-carbonated and watery.
Overall, though I got this in a year round variety pack, this seems more of a beer that would be better in the summer. Not bad, but nothing spectacular, and decent for the style.

Tap at Appalachian, Collegeville, 29/11/13. Hazed orange amber with a thin off white head that clears to edgeing. Nose is thin, faint bread dough, lemon rind, light grassy notes. Taste comprises light citrics, faint orange ring, grassy. Medium bodied, little in the way of carbonation - poor feel, sweet closure. Sub par nonsense devoid of flavour and body. And the stoopid lemon got dumped before I went anywhere near sipping from the glass, just remind me the last time I had a wheat based beer in either Belgium or Germany and someone stuck a fucking piece of lemon in it !?!?!?

Bottle. Lightly sour lemon and wheat malt flavor. Slightly hazy golden yellow color with small head. Sweet-tart lemon, hay and wheat malt flavor. Nice body (especially for a wheat beer). Very nice.
