Can from Beerdome. Aroma is orange, pale malt, modest hop, touch of caramel. Flavour is mild sweetish and light bitter. Body is medium. Was hoping for something a bit more refreshing.

Can 47,3 cl. Pours golden with a white head. Next to no aroma. Medium body, sweet malt and a lemon/lime flavor. Very little bitterness. Very much a summer thing, I reckon. 101122

slightly hazy yellow, small offwhite head. Aroma is pretty mild, watery, faint aromatic hops, some malts. Flavor is interesting, flowery and candy like notes, the flowery notes reminds me of belgian blonde, the hops though are more similar to american beer, there is a fruity note i can't place, could be from wheat, but it is more candy like, and less like banana. the beer is quite herbal bitter and that is a bit of a problem as it is also quite sweet. I don't like bittersweet beer, except if it's sweet from malts and bitter from aromatic hops, like, for instance, an american barley wine.

Another okay session from Founders. Not something I’d buy a six pack for, but not something I would turn down if offered.

Hazy pale yellow pour. Aroma is of wheat, yeast, and clove. The flavor is of wheat malt, citrus, spicy yeast, and mild to moderate hops bitterness. Light bodied.

Deep and very hazy golden and straw coloured body with a pretty nice and subdued single to two centimetre tall just off-white soapy head. Aroma of fresh wheat with some light coriander seed notes, a hint of oranges and some noticeable spices and bubblegum, but very mild throughout the nose. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong wheatie and malty notes show at first with a bit of a biscuit quality and some light sweetness from the wheat as well, but there is a soft orangey and curacao bite towards the end that also brings out some light spices, but this is very mild and super wheatie, in a good, easy-drinking way. Aftertaste shows a crisp and clean wheat presence with some yeastie notes and a bit of bread, but the mild dry, crispness and the more noticeable orange and curacao notes are the strongest here, but this is super easy-drinking. Overall, an enjoyable, still crisp and flavourful wheat-based beer with some good qualities and profiles with a light hint of sugars and honey at the tail end, but this is nice and crisp, but easy to handle, especially in the middle of the summertime heat here in Washington! I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Harris Teeter in Arlington (Pentagon Row), Virginia on 27-September-2021 for US$1,87 (part of a mixed six pack) sampled on the trail of BearFence Mountain in Shenandoah National Park on 19-June-2022 with my wife and three kids on Father's Day 2022.

Pours amber with a thin white head. Aroma of flat malt, salt, coriander. Taste has sweet malt base, rich fruity notes, full bodied barley element. Palate has slight coriander and smoke note. Very refreshing.
