Reviewed from notes.
The appearance was a clear blonde colored body, three finger worth of foamy white head after thirty seconds dies to film of a head, some foamy lacing graces the sides of the glass.
The smell had some wheat, lemon, light malts.
The taste was sweet through previously mentioned flavor.
On the palate, it sat about a medium, sessionable, some light harshness on the tongue, no aftertaste, yet a sweet finish.
Overall, this is a beer that is just a tad above average to me. Maybe not something I would rush out to buy but I think I would have it again.

On tap at OKC Fox & Hound. Pours a near clear amber gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a light flora note with a good amount of sweet wheat and a hint of light fruits. Flavor is lighter with sweet wheat and a touch of light spice and flora.

12oz bottle poured into a shaker. Pours a lightly cloudy gold with a half finger of white head. Aroma of skunky wheat and citrus. Light sour. Citrus notes with a strong wheat backbone. Light bodied with a thin yet somewhat sticky texture. Lively carbonation and a lingering citrus finish. Overall, pretty good. I’m not usually a fan of spring beers but this one is drinkable.

12 ounce bottle. Pours a clear golden color with a medium sized fizzy white head. Poor head retention. Aroma of toasted wheat, spice, grain and citrus. The taste is sweet wheat, nutty notes, spice, citrus, toasted notes and raisin. Thin bodied.

Bottle thanks to my friend Jamie: Pours a hazy yellow golden with a white head. Aroma is sweet grain, citrus, and wheat. Taste is very smooth with some lemon fruitiness, which seemed to be balanced by the wheat instead of sour as I would have expected.

Location: 12 oz bottle from Colonial Wine and Spirits, 3/27/12
Aroma: The aroma is pretty faint, with hints of wheat, malt and lemon
Appearance: It pours a clear yellow-gold color with a small head and no lacing
Flavor: The taste is more of the same, some lemon and wheat sweetness and little else
Palate: The body is light, maybe a little watery, with a mediocre feel, and an unappealing aftertaste
Overall Impression: I know I'm probably late to the party, but it is so very exciting that they decided to replace the old Spring Moon with a new spring seasonal (sarcasm alert). Did they do a better job? Not so much. This one is unoffensive, but mostly because it hardly exists at all.

Not very interesting. Bland under-stated wheat beer, hints of lemon in the nose and flavor. Empty finish. Dull copper color, not much head.

Bottle. Pours a clear golden with small frothy white head. The aroma is orange peel and citrus. Thin mouthfeel with a bready malt with orange peel and crisp finish. A decent wheat ale.
