Orange in color with minimal head and lacing. A distinct smell of citrus fruit especially orange. A drinkable beer with a meal but not a beer you go out of your way to sample. A decent mass produced attempt at a White Ale.

Very creamy brew, coupled with a hint of orange. Would buy this one again.

It looks like a great beer. It’s probably the most opaque thing to come out of golden colorado. Taste comes up short, but I hope it becomes a gateway drug for people to find good belgian white ales.

This beer is the training wheels for people interested in making a switch from BMC. It’s slightly fruity and easy to drink. I don’t seek this beer out but I’ve pounded a boat load in my day.

Bottled, BB Oct 09. Poured hazy peach with a nice creamy initial cap of white head.. settled down to a fine film. The aroma picked up sweet candied oranges and fresh wheat over supporting bready character.. accents of coriander and mild white pepper. The flavor had caramel and sweet bread at the core with not-too-tart orange zest and spicy wheat around.. finished sweet and clean. Lighter-bodied with heavy, rolling carbonation on the palate.. well-balanced.. a bit sweet for my liking, but very drinkable.
