Taste is light as to make it a refreshing beer on a hot day. The flavors blend well and one flavor does not overpower the others. The beer has a nice citrus flavor that you would expect from a whit beer. My only problem with this beer, was that being a citrus flavored beer I expected some acidity, but the acidity in this beer was overpowering. The acidity took away from the flavor of the beer.

Don't Want A Sixer
I've had many beers from this brewery and most have been high quality products. This beer I would put on the back shelf. It is what it is and this in only a seasonal summer beer and is not a daily Flying Dog product and is only around for a limited time period. If you want to try this brewery for the first time, I would try the other beers first. I would suggest you try Flying Dog Raging Bitch, so you don't get the wrong idea about this brewery.
