(Bottle) Pours clear amber golden with essentially no head. Aroma is cardboard with a hint of sweetness. Light bodied with plenty of rather fizzy carbonation. Taste is light and sweet, rather sugary than honey. Some bitterness in finish. Easy drinking I guess, but light and sweet and I wouldn’t choose it again

From a 330ml bottle on 14/2/2016. Pours a clear light golden with a small head. There’s very little to the nose, with the barest hint of wheat. Taste wise, it’s very sweet, with orange and honey notes set off against very mild spices and wheat flavours, with the barest bittnerss . Light bodied with average carbonation. Okay.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, best before 11/23/2015. Pours lightly hazy golden yellow color with a 2 finger dense white head with good retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the head. Aromas of lemon, orange peel, pear, apple, honey, wheat, cracker, biscuit, herbal, grass, light pepper, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aroma with good balance of pale malt, honey/orange peel, fruity yeast, and light earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of lemon orange peel, pear, apple, honey, wheat, cracker, biscuit, herbal, grass, light pepper, and yeast earthiness. Light herbal/spicy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of lemon, orange peel, pear, apple, honey, wheat, cracker, biscuit, and herbal/yeast earthiness on the finish for a short bit. Nice balance and robustness of pale malt, honey/orange peel, fruity yeast, and light earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Fair amount of dryness after the finish as well. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, fairly crisp, and lightly creamy/bready mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with zero warming present after the finish. Overall this is a good Pale wheat ale style. All around good robustness and balance of pale malt, honey/orange peel, fruity yeast, and light earthy hop flavors; and very smooth and crisp to drink. A nicely enjoyable offering.

Pours a dark straw from a bottle. Aroma of honey. Flavor is kind of like a standard pale lager with some honey added, even though this is an ale. I don’t know, feels somehow fake. Meh.

A nice solid wheat ale with a modest orange body and okay head (when poured into a plastic cup). Good amount of orange and coriander on the flavour and aroma but not too overpowering. Highly drinkable in large quantities if you’re into the style.

12 ounce bottle. Pours a pale straw golden color. Small rocky white head. Light lemony grainy malt aroma. Sweet lemon wheat malt. Noticeable honey notes. Refreshing, but very thin bodied. Your not drinking this for it’s complexity and character. This is strictly a hot weather session beer. My wife thinks this is delicious. Me, I would rather have a German wheat bier.

12oz bottle from Orchard Fresh, Orchard Park, NY. Hazy straw in colour with a tight white head; slight honey aroma; grainy body with a subtle honey taste that’s not too sweet; and a not unpleasant finish. Rather bland, but could have been far worse.

Reviewed from notes.
The appearance had a golden colored body with a large foamy head with speckled lacing sliding down the sides of the glass. There was barely any carbonation seen rising.
The smell had some honey and lemon with some wheat and orange in the background.
The taste was mainly the wheat with the lemon and the orange in the background. There were some light malts that were in the background as well. There was a very faint taste of hops at the end.
On the palate, it sat about a light with a semi-refreshing quality. This was mainly a drinkable beer.
Overall, this is a decent brew. I was mostly impressed by the appearance but other than that, this is an American Pale Wheat Ale, as far as I know. I might have it again .... maybe.
