Refrigerated 12 oz. aluminum can poured into a glass. Clear golden with small white head. Aroma is lime, light body, low carbonation, and little lacing. Taste is lime and grain. I prefer more flavor even for a wheat beer.

Tap. Pours crystal clear yellow, small white head, decent lacing. Aroma is wheat, a bit dusty again, lime. Flavor is light sweet, minimal bitterness, lime is very restrained. Light body. I expected a total gimmick beer, but this is simple and refreshing.

Sampled on draft this beer poured a bright yellow-gold color with a large foamy off white head that lingered and left decent lacing. The aroma was perfume, lime and a bit of chalk. The flavor was dryish and a bit dusty with notes of cracker, perfume and lime. Medium length finish. Light body. Meh.

Sample at the brewpub. This brew is a hazy yellow color with a thin white head that evaporates quickly to an outer ring. Short strings of lacing. Aroma of citrus, wheat and malt. Light-bodied with flavors of lime, wheat and crackery malt. The finish is fruity with a citrus aftertaste. Doesn’t quite capture the essence of the dessert, but a decent beer.
