Bottle. Honey golden color, closing in on amber, with just a touch of lace. Sweet, fruity aroma with honey and some citrus. Slightly spicy as well, with a bit of caramel. Somewhat sweet, malty flavor. Earthy malts, a touch of honey and fruit, wheat, cereal grains. Unexpected flavor for a blonde. Interesting and nice. Good bitter hop finish, though not so much hop aroma. Decently made stuff, though not really exciting. Too expensive in the bottle.

@ GJBF. Spices, fruit, floral and yeast in the aroma. Similar flavor, but had a little alcohol and a slightly bitter finish. A good wheat, though a more pronounced flavor would be nice. Refreshing.

This beer looked so lame when it was poured out of the tap. Dark golden color with virtually no head. It could have been any XYZ beer. However, that is where any mainstream comparison ends. Surpringly tempting nose with hints of floral and exotic fruits. The mouh has tinge of brandy and floral, but is well balanced. The finish is clean and freshing. Definetely one of the best, if not best American wheat I have had.
