Rich amber-hazed wheat perfectly befits sunny summertime sipping. Creamy honeyed yeast sinew lathers lemony banana-orange fruiting and downplayed clove-coriander spicing. Mild hop bittering and spritzy lemon zest contrast luscious butterscotch ascent. Despite unfiltered American styling, closer to full-bodied German-styled wiessbier.

Soft yellow-fruited Cascade-hopped light-bodied American wheat ale makes for refreshingly clean lawnmower fare. Lemony lime zest goes under the radar, herbal whim is nebulous and delicate white-breaded spine falters on first tasting. Yellow grape, green apple, and white peach illusions are barely audible. On ’13 re-tasting: Summery lemon zest briskness lingered better over sweeter glass-sugared honeyed wheat spine. On tap at Tommy Fox’s, lemony orange peel tartness picked up herbal perfumed whim.

Part of brewers’ ongoing ‘100 barrel series,’ smooth gin-soaked herbal medication upends cloying lemon-sugared heather-tipped orange tang with zippy ginger ale fizzing. But its cross to bear is the glutinous sorghum-like souring depleting honeyed ginger-spearmint-eucalyptus subsidy and citric-bruised continuance.

Mild golden-bodied wheat ale lacks fruity luster in canned version. Washed-out hard-candied Jolly Rancher watermelon tartness lingers softly through blanched rye wheat backbone. Subsidiary mandarin orange, peach, and cantaloupe illusions fade fast as abysmal pale-malted white-breaded sorghum slouching reaches soapy melon-limed finish. Watermelon juicing clearly needs deeper resonance and latent cloy nature proves troublesome.

Washed-out light-bodied limited edition ’09 release splashes passion fruit tedium across sour lemon-lime indifference. Tart kiwi-mango-plantain tropicalia disrupted by astringent citric-hopped doldrums to unstable white-breaded rye-dried cracked wheat spine. Indistinct 2011 version found phenolic tinning undermining washed-out passion-fruited white peach, green grape, pineapple and kumquat slip as well as herbal lemon-rotted orange souring. Carbolic Seltzer-like dishwater made worse.

Well-balanced bottle conditioned straw-hazed ‘pale wheat’ ale (celebrating Jersey Turnpike exit) juxtaposes piney floral-hopped lemon-orange zest and mild grapefruit-currant bittering against tangy apricot-apple-tangerine sweetness. Candi-sugared Belgian yeast softens alcohol burn at fruity sherbet finish. White peach, purple grape, and parfait illusions come and go.

Perfumed floral-herbal highlights enliven sunny Seltzer-fizzed lemon glaze, tart blueberry midst, and orange marmalade reminder. White-peppered jasmine-lavender floridity bolsters ancillary eucalyptus, cardamom, and ginger herbage. Evergreen-fresh mint julep and mojito illusions provide further peculiarity.

Initial 2009 version barely registered above a bland wheat ale, lacking expectant maple saturation. Raw-honeyed wheat base can’t hold up barren marzipan-caramel stead or modest cherry, raspberry, and grape illusions buried in diacetyl midst. Better to try excellent 2011 remix.

Cloudy golden hefeweizen gathers bruised orange souring, banana peel variance, and lemony tartness to uplift hop-bitten mint-clove sensation. But metallic bone dry finish hampers vegetative surge, murky malt splurge, and wheat biscuit merge.

Biscuit-y nose and chaffed wheat mouthfeel settle alongside lemony orange tang for easy finishing smoothie.
