12 ounce bottle into pint glass, best before 2/14/2016. Pours lightly hazy golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger foamy white head with decent retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings on the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Good appearance. Aromas of peach, grapefruit, lemon, mango, pineapple, pear, honey, wheat, cracker, lighty toasted bread, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Nice aromas with good balance of fruit, pale malt, and light earthy hop/fruity yeast notes; with good strength. Taste of big peach, grapefruit, lemon, mango, pineapple, pear, honey, wheat, cracker, lighty toasted bread, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Light herbal/grassy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of peach, grapefruit, lemon, mango, pineapple, pear, honey, wheat, lighty toasted bread, and herbal/grassy earthiness on the finish for a short bit. Very nice robustness and balance of fruit, pale malt, and light earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; with a good malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Light-moderate dryness as well. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderate crisp, and lightly creamy/grainy/bready mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with zero warming present after the finish as expected of 4.6%. Overall this is a very good fruited wheat beer. All around good robustness and balance of fruit, pale malt, and light earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; and very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink. A very enjoyable offering.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a vibrant golden color with a small foamy white head that left no lacing. The aroma was wheaty and medicinal. The flavor was tangy, medicinal, a bit malty and had touches of sugar and vague fruit. Medium length finish. Medium body. Meh.

Bottle from Foods Plus, Plaistow, NH. Aroma is strong fruity-peach and grapefruit with notes of pepper. Appearance is clear golden yellow with lively carbonation and good sparkle. No head to speak of and no lacing. Taste is medium sweet lightly peach up front with slightly bitter grapefruit for last half. Palate is light bodied with thin, crisp texture and slightly above average carbonation. A good, highly drinkable beer that’s a little bit different and goes down easy, especially on hot summer days.
