balesjas (41), Huntington Woods, Michigan, USA Apr 22, 2006 You smell the citrus right away -- definietly an orange smell to it. Unfiltered cloudy appearance with a nice nead at first that dissipates to a white film. Lots of floaters floating around in it. Sweet, refreshing, full smooth mouthfeel. Good summer beer -- better than Oberon, in my opinion. Not a long finish, but it lingers for a bit. The attack is sweet, but after the initial sweetness you get the malty smoothness.
Stine (1354), St. Paul, Minnesota, USA Sep 30, 2008 Almost three years old now. A misty, coppery unfiltered orange. Husky wheat, creamed corn, cool metals and some dried caramel sweetness in the nose; nothing too blatantly offensive, but no moments of reassurance either. The lemon, clove and pastry bread qualities of its fresher character are present, and deeply buried under all the oldness.

A wet, metallic and lemony tang in a severely thinned and somewhat soured flavor; still, it remains sufficiently crackery in its malts and prickly enough in its clove and cardamom intimations to suggest an age quite younger than it actually is.

Medium body is crisp and sharp. Finishes on an odd, brisk lemon pepper spice/sour that’s somewhat unreadable. I don’t remember liking it when I had in pre-rating days, and I don’t much like it now; cheers to ticking, and thanks to the want-list fairy named Ken Weaver. badbeer (419), Iowa, USA Aug 22, 2008 Coudy golden color with a pillowy white head. Smell of fresh bread, lemon, bananas and some clove too. Taste has soft on the banana and clove at the beginning, with a fresh bread and weird orange peel taste in the finish. Low carbonation and full body. Interesting experiment, but I didn’t really care for this. phishpond417 (1521), Madison, Wisconsin, USA Apr 21, 2008 Pours a semi hazey golden colour, small but noticeable white head. Aroma is slightly fruity, Sweet aroma with rich fruit character. Peach, red delicious apples, and cotton candy. Taste is smooth, light and fruit filled. dukefan (167), Chicago, Illinois, USA Apr 17, 2008 Drinkable pleasant stuff - it reminded me some of their Winter White. Flavors of banana and a slight touch of spice. dm9831 (706), Monee, USA Mar 21, 2008 hazy gold, thin white head, dissipates quickly. aroma of grass, grain, wheaty sweetness. sweet banana flavor with some grainy undertones. creamy, medium bodied finish. not offensive.
