Canned on MetroNorth. Color was a can. Strong hop aroma, clean choppy taste predominated with hints of wheat sweet acidity in the end.

Refrigerated 16 oz. aluminum can poured into a glass. Hazy deep golden with medium white head. Aroma is nice light herbal hops, medium/light body, medium carbonation, and pretty good lacing. Taste is herbal hops, floral hops, and citrus hops.

Draft at Pony Bar. Clear gold-orange with a white head and fairly heavy lacework. Mild aroma of citrus, straw, and wheat. Balanced hellebore has some light sweetness and bitterness that work well together. Palate-wide it has plus carbonation, a decently clean feel, and a somewhat dry close. Good, solid beer. The aroma is a little muted, but otherwise I liked it quite a bit.

Sampled from a 16 oz can this beer poured a dark golden color with a large creamy-soapy orange-beige head that left good lacing. The aroma was malty with sour caramel, pine and fruity hops. The flavor was sour caramel, tobacco and pine with an off medicinal note that grew with each sip. Long finish. Medium body. Pretty awful.

This was poured into a nonic pint glass.
The appearance was a hazy burnt orange color with a slim transparency about it. Carbonation could be seen bouncing off of particles/floaties in the glass. After the head dissipated, sticky foamy lacing sweeps the glass nicely.
The smell starts off with some sweet citrus making an effort to bring some bitterness to surface. Light sweet wheat slides into some caramel malts.
The taste was basically the same with a dry semi-sticky caramel malty aftertaste leading into a quick dry semi-sweet finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a dry texture and a decent sessionability about it. Carbonation runs smooth allowing a sly stickiness to it.
Overall, this is a decent American pale wheat ale that I might have again.

16oz can, poured a clear yellow color with a small wispy white head. Bland, boring, but clean and not awful.

Like an IPA but wheat! Innovation. Pours amber with OK head and lacing. Come citrus and pine. Bitter finish. Malty backbone. Tall can.
