This was a pretty great beer in my opinion. I really find myself enjoying the hoppy wheats the more I try them.
Sorry for the terrible pic, I was actually brewing while drinking this so I just took an impromptu pic.

Poured with a great head the lingered for quite a while. Excellent lacing throughout.
Aroma was awesome, tons of citrus, some tropical fruit, and a slight hint of pine (at least I thought I smelled pine lol)
Taste pretty closely follows aroma, the citrus dominates with some tropical fruit blended in and a little bit of pine towards the end. Mouthfeel was nice, not too thin. Tiny hop "bite", in a very good/pleasant way.

I would definitely recommend this beer if you see it on the shelves. I know I'll be grabbing more if I come across it.
I'm really loving this brewery.

I've only had 1 beer by Gigantic (an IPA) and it was very good. I've been reading some good things about this brewery but maybe it's me but their labels seem to be cheap looking. I like the artwork but it always looks like a kid stuck them on to me.
OK, I am being picky and it makes absolutely no difference but that's my sick take on it.

I like that style too so I'll keep an eye out as well. I've not tried their IPA but I've heard good things about it both here and elsewhere.

And I agree with Paul on the labels. It's actually what turned me off of trying their IPA the first time I saw it. I have no idea why....it's not like a label has anything to do with the beer inside, although I do enjoy labeling my own beers.
