Can from the brewery enjoyed at home. Just a touch of haze in a light golden beer with a good sized frothy white head that persists. Sweet bready malt with plenty of citrus grass and tropical fruits to counter.

Can from the taproom in Cape coral enjoyed at home. Hazy golden orange color with a thin white head that dissipates quickly. Faint lime on the nose and in the flavor with a light bready cereal wheat beer underneath. Not bad.

On tap at the brewery in Cape Coral Inky black in color without much of a head when it gets to the table. Big maple aroma and flavor bits of chocolate roast and dark fruits. Hints of vanilla oak and ethanol round it out. Nice sipper.

On tap at the Brewery in Cape Coral Comes to the table lightly hazy pink bordering on red with a wispy white head that has a hint of pink in it. Tart lemony nose bits of cherry added in the flavor. Tart puckering but tasty.

On tap at the Brewery in Cape Coral sold as Oktoberfest. Lightly hazy deep gold in color with a thin white head that persists. Rich maltiness with bits of toast and caramel. Not bad but the Germans do it so much better.

16 oz. can from Total Wine. Pours an opaque gold color with a small white head and poor retention. Virtually no lacing. Lime aroma, as expected. Very strong lime flavor dominates with a sturdy wheat base for support. This is more of a fruit beer or shandy than a wheat ale. Sweet, no bitterness. Clean, smooth, and light. Thin body. Lightly carbonated. A decent pool beer.

16 oz. can from Total Wine. Pours an opaque orange-bronze color with a tiny off-white head and poor retention. Decent lacing. Not really any aroma. Faint strawberry? Tart strawberry flavor in a generic base beer. Can't really identify any blonde ale characteristics. Not sweet or bitter. Medium-light body. Light carbonation. Too tart and not enough beer flavor in my opinion.
