This used to be my favorite beer! I couldn't wait for April for the first signs of this beer in the stores. But, I feel they have changed their recipe in the last six months, as the aroma and taste of the beer seems different. They have started distributing to non-liquor stores locally. Appealing to the masses?
Don't let the unfiltered "floaties" bother you. Has a fruity taste with a hint of spice. The wife enjoys adding an orange that seems to bring out even more of a fruity flavor. One of the few beers I have ever had in which the after taste is extremely smooth. The definition of a refreshing American Summer Wheat Ale.
There was almost a two year hiatus of distribution in Illinois due to the crazy distribution laws that heavily favor the distributors. At the beginning of that time, Bells actually offered a 10% or 15% boot-leggers discount if you showed up with an Illinois license at the brewery.
