355ml can. Clear golden, white head (clear wheat beers seem wrong). Aroma of lemon and lime, coriander, wheat/bready malts. Taste is very citrusy, lemon, lime, orange peel, mild coriander and cardamom spice, all on a bready wheaty malt base, low bitterness. Light-medium body. Nice beer but rather light in every aspect, but I assume that's intentional to be fair.

Hazy-ish amber. Lightly lemony, slightly wheaty, nice and refreshing. Definitely more crushable than heavier bodied Weißbier. Nice one Sam!

Orange, lemon, lime, biscuit malt, and straw aroma - very nice. Cloudy golden yellow with small white head. Lightly sweet orange, lime, biscuit malt, and very light bitter straw flavor. Light body. A nice light beer.
