12 ounce can into pint glass, best before 8/28/2017. Pours lightly hazy/cloudy pale golden yellow color with a 1 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, mango, melon, citrus peel/rind, light pepper/pine, wheat, cracker, white bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/fruity hops, orange zest, and moderate pale/wheat malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of big grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, mango, melon, citrus peel/rind, light pepper, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, mango, melon, citrus peel/rind, pepper, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity hops, orange zest, and moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance; and zero lingering hop/zest astringency after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately crisp, bready/grainy/sticky, and slightly resinous balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5%. Overall this is a very nice hoppy American pale wheat ale. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity hops, orange zest, and moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink with the modestly bitter/drying finish. Great balance of vibrant/dank hops and citrus zest; with a nice pale/wheat malt backbone, and minimal residual sweetness. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example. Not overly hoppy or bitter.

8/IX/14 - 1Pt. 6Fl. Oz. bottle @ home - BB or bottle date: V/21/14 (2014-972) Thanks to Fem for the bottle!
Clear bright orange beer, small aery to creamy head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: sweet, floral, honey, orange peel, bit sugary, marzipan. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: lots of orange peel, some citrus, bit sweet, pretty hoppy, floral, spicy touch. Aftertaste: orange lemonade, sweet impression although fairly bitter, citric hops, bit floral, way too much orange peel. No balance at all.

Draft - Orange, wheat and a bit of sweetness. Clear gold with a decent white head. Orange, sweet wheat with a citrus hop bite. Lots of orange but well done. Can - Much more orange peel and sweeter. Much prefer draft.

Bottle @ home, courtesy of jcnielsen. Thanks Justin! Pours a bit hazy, golden yellow appearance with a fluffy, off white head. Quite spicy, potpourri floral hoppy, a bit zippy citrusy, chewy wheat aroma. Spicy yeasty, lemon pepper, big potpourri hoppy, orange zest flavor. Pretty good but definitely not a 100th percentile wheat ale.
