Hazy blonde coloured body with a small white head. Aroma of light citrus, coriander seed and some wheat. Light-bodied; Nice tart lemon flavour with some orange and light hop flavours running strong. Aftertaste mellow and proper-good finish. Overall, a nice hefeweizen, good to try! Thanks Andy for giving me this bottle. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle pulled from a Breckenridge Sampler Pack on 28-May-2005 on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.

Draft at the brewpub in October 2007. An unclear dark golden beer with a lazing off-white head. The aroma is sweet wheaty with a light citrusy note mingling. The flavor is sweet wheaty again combined with a light citrusy note, leading to a dry finish.

Strong baby food and yogurt aroma, off-putting. Cloudy light orange pour, thin head, and minimal lacing. The bottom of the glass was coated with a thick layer of yeast sludge. It has a sour orange taste and to a lesser extent, dough and buttermilk. It’s a little yeasty on the palate but not as bad one would expect from seeing the large amount of yeast left behind. I recommend drinking this with a straw (or not at all) to avoid upsetting the yeast deposits.

Pour is a hazy yellow with a big white head. Aroma is very zesty and citrus. Flavor is lots of lemon but very watery and almost flat. Leaves a creamy touch on the tounge as it goes down. This has lots of bad reviews but its not that bad. No where near a good wheat but its a good half assed attempt.

Surely not a hefeweizen, but this is not a terrible beer. There is a light wheat taste, but that is overpowered by a strong and not unpleasant sour citrus flavor. They got the appearance right at least. I like sour beer and I am glad I at least tried this.

Cloudy gold with small head. Light malty aroma, a little buttery. A bit too heavy and sweet, esp for style. Too much aftertaste...lacking in that refreshing zest and light drinkability. A little too hoppy (bitter) in the finish, except that it needs some bitterness to balance the corny sweetness. Comes across almost like a wheaty Kolsch, but thats really stretching for a descriptor. Final note: it took me a while to get through this, and as it warmed, it became noxiously sweet while simultaneously losing its carbonation - finished like a poorly done continental lager.
