(Bottle at Konttori, Tampere, on 2009-08-08) Yellow and cloudy. Quite large and quickly disappearing white head. Citricness and fruitiness in aroma. Light and dryish palate with medium carbonation. Malts, sweetness, fruitiness, hops and bitterness in taste. Bitter aftertaste.

Pours a light gold with just a hint of haze. The nose floral and wheaty, with notes of lavender and vanilla. The first taste has some mild vanilla. As others have mentioned, this beer seems a little off-balanced. Not bad but I would opt for other brews.

Clear golden coloured body with a frothy white head. Aroma of lemons, yeast, wheat and a bit of coriander seed coolness. Light-bodied; Assertive citrus and acidic taste with a bit of malt and some very light hops thrown in. Aftertaste is mild, wheatie and very metallic - nothing too pleasant from this one. Overall, a pretty sub-par beer, especially from Southern Tier! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Westover Market in Arlington, Virginia on 19-April-2009, sampled on the Fourth of July 2009 on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.

Hazy lighter vanilla color. Off lager aroma. Thin teafroth head. Smell is somewhat of burnt toast and near hops. Typical southern tier background flavors, must be their water. Not much carbonation. 422 and 224 are local highways around here and a 442 is a car, a cool car. So what is the meaning about this beer, oh, yea the earth day. What a way to ruin my day. Thumbs down on the name.

12oz bottle. Hazy orange-tan color. Intensely crisp upon the first sip, but mellows into a smooth sweet malty mouthfeel with a crisp, lemony finish. I suppose this is done in the American Wheat style, and with that in regard, it is quite nice. Sugary and almost corny, in a non-adjunct way. Middle of the road, but done with class.

Bottle. Body is hazy & light gold with a thin white head. Aroma is mildly grassy with a touch of lemon and some wheat. Flavor is pointlessly thin wheat beer with grass and lemon. Otra cerveza... por favor!
