Pours a slightly hazy dull orange with a quickly-dissipating head and only the faintest orange-leaf aroma. Tastes rather watery and bland, a bit of spiciness, orange juice. Body is well-carbonated but thin. Very disappointing - must be better on-tap.

Not the biggest wheat fan but this was ok. Nice, light, and citrusy. Lots of floaters but no big deal. Fairly smooth going down.

Bottle. Very hazy, with lots of floaties, small white head. Aroma is yeasty, but not overly so, and has a touch of lemon. Flavor is a bit tasty, a bit of yeast and spice, some bready malts, spicy, yet not too yeasty, and easy to drink. My wife would love this beer.

Deep orange yellow pour of unfiltered hazy goodness. It looked like a creamsicle. Not too much of an aroma, some yeast and spice. Light refreshing taste. Yeasty and a little malty. Lots of spice and citrus. Refreshing and easy to drink

12 oz. bottle at Flat Rock Saloon. Poured hazy gold/orange with scant head. Bready nose. Spicy, yeasty with some slight esters noticeable. A good summer beer.

Ok, I could some this beer up in two words "Blue Moon", but I will say a little more....Aroma is very faint mix of oranges and wheat. Appearance is a cloudy orange (..yes like blue moon!). The beer is very light on the palate and doesn’t leave much taste. An ok chug-able beer. Not much else going on with it. Nice white lacing.

Bottle from Whole Foods in Charlottesville. I tried this first last year and was underwhelmed. I’ve heard this year’s batch is better. We’ll see. I’m not a fan of the aroma, which is a slight yeastiness, bubblegum and cardboard. Small but persistent head and excellent lacing. Hazy peach in appearance. Fruity taste nicely balanced with the hops. Good taste.

A tasting at Three Cellars Milwaukee. An excellent Wheat with a slight fruit hint.
