Poured with three fingers of fluffy, white foam that had medium retention and a nice web of lacing throughout.
The aroma would never lend itself to a wheat ale: it is full of citrus hops and some wheat. More of an IPA scent than a wheat beer.
The flavor isn't as big as the aroma but is definitely more complex than a normal wheat beer. Grapefruit and orange are apparent in the beginning and middle, but finishes like an IPA with piney notes.
Very refreshing and light tasting. Summer was made for a beer like this or was the beer made for summer? Either way if you have questions about wheat beer but enjoy hops, then give this one a shot. Enjoy!

I decided to revisit an old favorite that I have not had in a while.
I knew that I would not be disappointed.
Pours a Pale Golden color with a nice three inch head. Medium retention, with nice lacing.
Aroma is heavenly. Citrus hops and Pine hops. Has a clean refreshing scent.
Lots of citrus on the front of this beer which works its way into a nice pine hop at the back end. A very refreshing smooth beer with a well balanced taste. Reminds me of some IPA's that I have had.
Medium carbonation. This is beer goes down easy and every sip is enjoyable. I am glad I revisited this one....still a favorite in my book!
