Very hazy golden and straw coloured body with a thick three to four centimetre tall off-white head that stays afloat for a while and is microfoamed. Aroma of funky soaps and citrus with lemons, wheat [duh], coriander seed, curacao and some light grass noticeable along with some subtle caster sugars. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong soapy and floral flavours show at first with some mild lemonade and radler-type like flavours and a soft wheat backbone that gives some depth and very herbal flavours with a light astringency. Aftertaste shows some sweetness with a light soapy bite, but the lemons finally show their potency and give some tartness to this one with a dry quality, especially at the end. Overall, a nice dry, very fragrant and floral beer with tons of lemons, lemonade and easy-drinking wheat malts, but a smooth beer for sure with moderate sweetness and a light complexity. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Wegman's in Leesburg, Virginia on 10-October-2020 for US$1,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 01-December-2020.

Sampled on draft at Tapped this beer poured a hazy yellow color with a large foamy whit head that left minimal lacing. The aroma was lemonade. The flavor was tart with a bit of citrus and watered down lemonade. Medium length finish. Medium body.

Can. Lemon juice, wheat malt, and straw aroma. Cloudy pale yellow with small head. Minimally sweet lemon, light malt, and mildly bitter hay flavor. Light body. Okay - nice Radler/Shandy type beer.

On tap at Roasthose. Hazy golden with small white head. Aroma is lemon, medium body, lower carbonation, and little lacing. Taste is wheat esters and lemon. Pretty easy to drink.
