Can on the RBSG. Pours a cloudy yellow with small frothy white head that lasts. The aroma is floral and wheat. Light body, wheat, lemon zest, fruity finish, very good.

Tap at Craft Heads. Light grassy nose with some lemon and citrus as it warms. Dry on the palate with a creamy, well-rounded mouthfeel. Clean finish. Pretty standard wheat ale.

Hazy golden color. Super light fruity but lacking hoppiness. Light body, dry super drinkable but the end is a bit too much two road grain. Decent but nothing uber amazing.

Keg at Mikkeller, Stockholm. Cloudy golden, mid sized head. Light aroma of dill, coconut and citrus. Dry with light body and clean mouthfeel. Mild citrus, some coconut and pine. Low bitterness. Clean and hard, but quite refreshing.

Draft. A hazy golden beer with a lazing white head. The aroma has notes of straw and wheat. The flavor is sweet with notes of wheat, lemons, and straw, leading to a bitter finish.
