An explosion of tart, fruity flavors will erupt in your senses as you take your first sip of this perfectly balanced wheat beer. The sensation can only be matched by the brilliant aroma from dry hopping with massive amounts of Amarillo and Motueka hops.

0,33l bottle from Beergium. Almost clear golden beer with medium- head. Aroma is mild with sweet citrus and tropical fruits. Too slightly, however. Taste has watery tropical fruits and citrus. Medium bitter, medium body, nothing special.

Bottle. Clear golden color with white head. Aroma is juicy fruits, pale malts, just a touch wheat. Taste is the same. Oily mouthfeel, medium carbonation. Just alright.

Bottle/Fest. A- Wheat, citrus. A- Gold color, hazy liquid, white head. T- Mild bitterness, citrus, straw. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, mildly bitter finish. O- Maybe the first beer I've had from Saugatuck that I haven't been terribly impressed with. Drinks more like a pale ale. Balanced enough and honestly okay for a wheat beer. I would have loved this 5 years ago.

Pours goldish yellow with a light haze and leaves a frothy white head. Aroma is citrus, lots of orange and grapefruit, and floral. No real wheat notes for me. Taste is mildly bitter, like watered down grapefruit, but the sweet malty backbone is still just felt. Body is medium, smooth, refreshing. Decent stuff.

Clear gold pour with an off white head and fair retention. Good lacing. Light hop nose and taste. Tastes more like an APA than a wheat ale. Slight fruit flavor drowned by hops. Not what I want in a wheat ale.

Sampled on draft this beer poured a orange-amber color with a medium sized foamy off-white head that left excellent lacing. The aroma was bitter, dryish and perfumey. The flavor was bitter and dryish with perfume, citrus and a bit of bread. Long dry perfumey finish. Medium body. Meh
