This beer is a slightly hazy yellow color with a medium white head that burns away quickly to an outer ring. Spotty lace. Aroma of citrus, wheat and malt. Light-bodied with flavors of lemon, passionfruit, funky wheat and bready malt. The finish is sweet-tart citrus and passionfruit. Above average overall.
