Reviewed from notes.
The appearance was a clear yellow colored body with a half finger white fizzy head, barely any carbonation seen rising.
The smell was based around the citrus with some hops and honey in the background (both are barely there).
The taste was kinda bland between the citrus, hops and honey. I’m just wondering if the blend between the three was just not combined right (I don’t know)? A fair amount of floral tones came out as the beer warmed.
The palate was vey light, slightly watery and harsh on the tongue.
Overall, well, its light (makes a good summer beer), but this is nothing special and has an unusual blandness that doesn’t excite me. Sorry Otter Creek, try again.

Enjoying this one in Brooklyn. Pours an average golden colour with a small white cap and not much lace. The last pour creates a haziness. Cereal malt scent with a little hop. Same for taste. Grainy with hints of hop, but not much bitterness. Does the job for what it is suppose to do - refresh for summer.

Used a weizen glass. This wheat ale tastes like a lager. Light aroma of lemon. The taste... well not much there. Very light citrus. I mean LIGHT. Summer beers should be light but come on!! This is a prime example of why wheat ales get a bad reputation. I wouldn’t spend money on this again.

Bread dough aroma with a lemony tartness. Clear yellow, thin white head. Bread, barley malt, lemon, and grass flavor. Fairly nice level of hoppiness with a wheaty maltiness. Quaffable and flavorful. I’m not sure why the ratings are so low other than extremophile bias. I find this to be a nice session beer.

Pours pale gold into a shaker. Bright white head quickly recedes to hug rim. Sour marshmallow aromas. Thin with sweet bananabread and grass and a lasting sour hay finish.

Bottled@Monks Cafe, Wallingatan, Stockholm. Golden colour with a mediumsized foamy/fluffy white head. Aroma is mild citrus fruits along with some slight crisp maltyness as well. Flavour is quite crisp malts along with some slight citrus, wood and mild spices. A bit dishwatery feeling over it.

A golden blonde ale with a thin lacing white head. A lightly chalkey and herbal malt aroma, with light boiled veggies notes, corn. In mouth, a rather mundane blonde ale with very light hopping, medium bodied. On tap at American Flat Bread, July 12 2010

Bottle from Bottle Barn in Santa Rosa, CA. Pours gold with a decent foamy white head. Smells of very little - perhaps citrus. Medium body with foamy carbonation. Flavor is kind of flat wheat with some citrus. Ok. A touch papery in the finish. Not a lot too it.

Not bad. Shared a bottled with my lovely girlfriend. Poured a light clear-yellow very little head. Mild nose of tin and light hops. Flavor was very metallic and tart with a light hoppiness to it. Super light. I drank this like water. Yes, some citrus on the tail end. Finished crisp, very crisp.
