Bottle. Nothing really outstanding about this one. It was refreshing to drink while on the lake but the lemon was very slight and light. Not really that bad of a beer.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, bottled in 4/2015. Pours slightly hazy deep orange/copper color with a 2 finger dense off white head with good retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with sole light streaming carbonation. Aromas of lemon, pear, apple, wheat, cracker, toasted biscuit, herbal, grass, pepper, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of lemon, earthy spice, bready malt, and fruity yeast notes; with solid strength. Taste of lemon, pear, apple, wheat, cracker, toasted biscuit, herbal, grass, pepper, and yeast earthiness. Moderate herbal/spicy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of lemon, pear, apple, wheat, cracker, toasted biscuit, herbal, grass, pepper, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Good balance and robustness of lemon, earthy spice, bready malt, and fruity yeast flavors; with a good malt/bitter spice balance and minimal cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, crisp, and moderately creamy/bready/sticky mouthfeel that is good. Alcohol is very well hidden with zero warming present after the finish as expected of 5%. Overall this was a solid spiced wheat ale. All around good robustness and balance of lemon, earthy spice, bready malt and fruity yeast flavors; and very smooth and crisp to drink. Tasted like a bit of a darker kolsch style, the lemon character was not too big. A fairly enjoyable offering.

looks like iced tea. rather sterile clean aroma with slight metallic perfume. taste is not overwhelmingly lemon, not forward at all. from detroit, think they’ll go bankrupt, heheh? perhaps some bitter lemon peel hiding in the background. that bitterness almost approaches a old euro pils. could drink two of these. decent sizzle. overall, improved during the session. Not the worst shandy i’ve drunk.
