Bottle from Craig. Clear, medium amber colored with a whitish head. Decent lacing, head seems to last a bit and fade to a clumping of odd sized bubbles. Aroma is a touch earthy/herbal. Medium bodied with decent carbonation. Taste is a touch sweet initially, caramel. Fairly thick and coating to the palate which is interesting. Earthy hops, spiced/peppered finish. Really pretty decent, I was expecting more of a light fruit beer/hefe-fruit when I opened this.

22 oz. bottle - Pours a clear golden color with a nice off white head. Lots of carbonation. Aroma is grassy with a touch of citrus. Has a light estery, citrus flavor. A light, dry and easy drinking beer. Wortha try.

Well this is actualy described as a Witbier at the Brewery, which i thought was way too sweet and fruity to be one. Its a sweet and syrupy beer with lots of pinneaple and mandarin making it taste like a Big Stick. Not a good example of a Belgium witbier but could pass as a fruit beer for the ladies.

I am not very parshel to fruity beer. For a fuirty beer this was pretty good. Not too much of a strong fruit tast. Pretty complex favor. Has a nice dry finish.

Ahhhh. The wife and kids are in bed. Peache and quiet....and beer! Bomber thanks to Zug4abby. Pours golden with some haze and a fizzy white head. Aroma of citrus hops, straw, and clove. The coriander and hops seem to overpower the mandarin and honey. I think a little more sweetness could pull this together. The honey pops out in the in the dry finish. A west coast beer with a belgian twist. Not to bad, but could be better. This is not a fruit beer, it should really be classified as a spice/herb vegetable beer

On tap at The Local in San Diego. Pours light amber in color. Has a thin white head. Amazing aroma of cotton candy. The flavor is sweet, but odd in its medicinal chemical taste. I don’t get very much orange or mandarin.

Light hoppy aroma. Light bodied, watery texture, insipid light mandarin flavor hints, no real malt backbone...all in all a very forgettable drink.

22oz bottle from Windy City in El Cajon. Pours a light golden orange color. A lite aroma of citrus and yeast. Couldnt taste as much mandarin as I was expecting, yet still very refreshing.
