I was pleasantly surprised by this. Bottle didn’t say this was a wheat, but it is. Low-bodied. Typical coriander and orange peel. Very smooth. Rated 4/16/10

Can. Very cloudy, light yellow color with a thin white head. Aroma of wheat malt, banana, fruit, citrus, very rich and creamy. Flavors of banana, rich malt, some citrus and spices, including cloves. Thick and sweet. Rich, yet refreshing palate. Like a mix of a wit and a weizen. Not too spicy or citrusy, and a nicely bitter finish makes it good.
