Clear Gold Color, Huge White Head, Long Lasting, Lots Of Thin Stings Of Lacing. Very Pleasant Aroma, Reminds Me Of Passion Fruit, Floral Hops. Lager Like Base Topped Off With Passion Fruit and Floral Hops to Finish Off. Slightly Sweet, Moderately Peppery Bitter Finish.. Medium Body, Highly Carbonated. Really Nice and Easy. Enjoyed It. Recommended...

12 oz. bottler from a trade with Fletche00. Clear, gold, with a small, off-white head. The aroma is lemon peels, immense resinous and piney hops, caramel, and some light coriander and peppercorns. The flavor is light sweetness, and a pretty aggressive bitterness. There’s a light spiciness in the finish. Medium body, lively, and crisp, with a pretty clean finish. This is a nice, hoppy wheat beer.

Tap at the Hopleaf, Chicago. Poured a hazy medium amber with a frothy off white head and some low carbonation. The aroma is hoppy with a hint of dry yeast. The flavour is medium bitter with a smooth Amarillo hop slightly spicy citrus palate.

Slightly hazy dark golden colour, white head. Aroma of hops, malts, tropical fruits, wheat, yeast, candy, gumballs, caramel, apricot, light banana. Sweet flavour, wheat, bitter hops, clementine and light orange. Quite light body, finish hops, wheat, very fruity!
Great beer, I love this one!
(From 33cL bottle @ ZZT VII afterparty. Thanks for sharing, kermis!)
Update: Another bottle, shared by Tim @ the pre-FortaRock tasting. I remain at my opinion, it’s a great beer. Lovely fresh, fruity notes on a wheat background. Refreshing and balanced, I could drink this again and again.

Sampled from bottle. Not much to detect from the notes taken other than I thought it was a bit weird but at the same time quite nice. Worth a try anyway.

Pours a crystal clear medium golden color with a huge fluffy white head that persists forever. Holy hop Batman, I wasn’t expecting such an aroma from this. Earthy pine and grapefruit atop a solid base of bready and spicy malts. The flavor is pine and resin atop a spicy yeasty earthy wheat base. Lingering spicy hoppy finish long after each sip. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation and a sweet resinous mouthfeel. Wow, now that’s a wheat beer. Mild phenols don’t distract my sensitive palette and the hop flavor and aroma makes this quite interesting.
