Bottle sample at Brevard County Beer Fest--Orange color beer with no real head. Aroma of wheat and bananas. Light carbonation and fruity wheat was in the taste, with a fizzy finish.

Characters of citrus orange and malt. Creamy palate with a nice light finish. Very smooth. When remainder of bottle was added after initial tasting, the sediment and brew interestingly formed a colloidal suspension.

Taste 7/9 Bottle. Looks: Nice cloudy orange body with a disappearing foam. Aroma: Nice citrus and wheat without being sweet. Taste: One of my favorite summer wheat ales. Flavors are blended without being sticky or sweet. Occasional session beer.

Batch #8354, bottled March 5, 2008. Poured a slightly hazt orange amber color with a small off-white head. There was a good sweet malt aroma with some spice. A nice creamy texture with good carbonation. Despite the haze, carbonation bubbles could be seen rising in the glass. The taste got slightly dry towards the finish with somewhat of a toffee flavor and a little bit of hops at the end. Being over a year old I’m sure this had mellowed out some of the hops. I’ll have to get a fresher bottle to taste the difference.

On tap at Usual Suspects, Indianapolis. Slightly cloudy, very refreshing, but a little short on character. Good patio beer.

Pours cloudy yellow gold with lots of sediment and a thin white head that disappears. Aroma is wheat and mild citrus. Very tasty nothing is overpowering and also has a good hop balance. Creamy medium body and carbonation. Orange rind finish.

Orange-amber body with a thin off-white head. Spicy, sweet, wheat aroma...nice. Surprisingly creamy mouthfeel with a crisp finish. Crisp and refreshing with some sweet citrus up front and a zest, spicy bite at the end. A refreshing summer brew.
