Bottle @ home. Cloudy yellow orange appearance with a moderate sized, off white head and poor retention. Poor raspberry purée/additive, tangy tart aroma. Raspberry soda, sweet wheat malty, juice box, syrupy flavor. For what it is, it isn’t bad. Probably could be a decent seller for them and I won’t have any problems pounding this bottle in a couple of minutes.

Bottle @ home. Cloudy, banana yellow appearance with a disappearing white head. Bready, lemonade, a bit spicy, wheat malty aroma. Somewhat refreshing, Radler-like, lemonade, sweet wheat, a little spicy flavor. I guess if it was a really hot day I could see myself chugging a couple of these but not otherwise. Not that worthwhile overall.

Bottle picked up at the grocery store. Pours cloudy yellow with a medium sized white head and some lacing. Smells of wheat, coriander and citrus. Tastes of citrus, wheat and spices. Not bad, not good.

(bottle) Hazy pale orangey yellow with this white head. Aroma is OK, fresh with hints of coriander. Palate is good with light body and nice carbonation. Taste is disappointing, in fact largely missing - it is very watery and bland. The little flavour there is is OK - citrus and hints of coriander with maybe a hint of bread or grain in the finish.Overall, watery and pointless but not one to pour down the sink, just one never to buy again.

(bottle) Unappealing hazy yellow with thin white head. Intense aroma of artificial raspberry cordial with hints of cough syrup. Palate is quite acceptable, light bodied with pleasant carbonation. The flavour is shocking. A watery start develops suddenly into a so-so berry taste which quickly develops some very nasty harsh bitter, metallic flavours which last a long time. Overall, really quite an unpleasant beer.

bottle - To me calling this beer an IPA is a stretch. Obviously the brewer does, but I think Three Floyds Gumballhead is a more bitter wheat ale and it’s not even considered an IPA. hmm. Oh well. Pours up hazy and pale with a citrusy aroma and a minimal, fizzy head. The flavor has a mild to moderate hops bitterness, wheat, and underwhelming malt sweetness. There’s a little mild citrus in this light bodied brew. Not bad.

Sample @ Pick’s Liquors. Lightly cloudy gold with minimal head. Aroma of wheat and lemon pine-sol. Taste is light sweet. They get extra points here just because the lemonade flavor seemed natural, unlike some of the other "shandy" beers I’ve had. Light bodied with a sticky texture. Lively carbonation and a decently long finish. Overall, not that bad. Not exactly my style but I’ll keep it in mind if I’m ever feeling a shandy. Would make a great lawnmower beer...if I had a lawn to mow

12oz bottle poured into a shaker. Pours a lightly cloudy gold with about a finger of white head. Aroma of wheat and coriander with a little citrus. Taste is light sweet. Lots of wheat and citrus. Medium bodied with a somewhat sticky texture. Lively carbonation and a decently long finish. Overall, not that bad. There are much better witbiers out there but this would make a great lawnmower beer.

12oz bottle poured into a shaker. Pours a lightly cloudy pale gold with about a finger of fizzy white head. Aroma of a blue-raz sno-cone from an over-priced county fair vendor. Taste is light sweet. Same blue-raz taste. Absolutely disgusting aftertaste. It’s like a honeybadger who ate spoiled raspberries shit down my throat. Light bodied with a sticky texture. Fizzy carbonation and not much of a finish. Overall, pretty bad. Glad I got this as a single instead of an entire 6-pack.

12 ounce bottle. Pours a hazy amber color with a thin fizzy white head that quickly fades. Aroma of doughy malts, citrus and spice. The taste is caramel malts, wheat, spice, citrus. Thin bodied.
