Overall a decent beer. This one was poured from a bottle and had a decently thick white head for about thirty seconds which then diminished. Cloudy orange in appearance. Aroma was strong of citrus and flavor was light on hops with a strong orange flavor. Even though it is Americanized, I enjoy this beer in the summer months. Definitely tastes a lot better from the tap than from the bottle.

This was somewhat of a positive surprise. Thin head, cloudy light yellow, reasonable spice with cardamom, citrus flavors, a bit of similar spice in the mouth, but very watery and minimal finish.

On tap, pint glass. Dull opaque gold with a finger’s worth of a quickly dissipating fluffy white head. Aroma of lemon. Citrus flavor initially also of lemon, then turning darker, towards orange. A banana sweetness becomes more evident in the finish. A hint of nutmeg gives a buzz to the tongue. Flavorful, but a musty staleness is a significant defect.

Bottle. Pours unclear yellow with a white head. Light lemony and wheaty aroma. Light body. Flavor has a bit of lemony zest and a hint of spice. Decent at best.

12oz bottle from Publix Supermarket. Pours a hazy light caramel color with a thick white head that settles rapidly to nothing. Little lacing. Aroma is wheaty with some notes of syrup, maybe molasses, some spice, and mild fruit notes. Flavor is fairly mild with some wheat notes, lemon-citrus, and some spice. Generally light body with a slightly lemony finish. Drinkable, but does not compare with the European beers of the same style.
