Yes, first off... Someone alerted me to the fact that Widmer has an IPA called "Broken Halo" and I didn't have knowledge of this prior to naming this beer. Anyway, IMO Widmer kinda sucks big ones, so I feel like I'm justified in bringing some glory back to this beer name, 'cause it's pretty damn cool and I definitely think it tastes better than anything of Widmer's I've had.

Tasting Notes: Nice coriander scent and noticeable flavor. The intertwining citrus tastes are what really makes this awesome, though. Not especially heavy on wheat, but wheaty enough (wanted to make it summer-drinkable).
