5/30/2007: Buffalo Bill’s Orange Blossom Cream Ale has a pale, watery, clear yellow appearance with a foamy whie head. This beer smells and tastes like orange Jello. That’s it, pure and simple. There really isn’t anything else to it. Another way to describe it would be orange Pez or better yet, imagine taking a Name-A-Macro Light/"Lite" beer and dumping in a packet of orange Kool-Aid mix or orange-flavored Jello. That is essentially what this beer tastes like! Other than that, this beer has a medium-light body, a mild level of carbonation, and is refreshing. I have nothing against fruit beers in general, but this one just tastes like nothing but orange Jello! I guess maybe that is an accomplishment though since it is different and there aren’t that many straight-up orange-flavored beers...

Very nice easy drinking beer. Very refreshing and creamy with a not-too-strong/not-too-weak hint of orange. A little on the sweet side, but no complaints here.

Great fruit ale. Simple ale with an orange finish. The only thing i would improve is the color, looks like a coors or bud light with a weak head.

Poured a light orange color with minimal white head. Lots of citrus and some orange in the aroma. The flavor was more of that with some wheat thrown in. This isn’t something I’d drink daily, but it isn’t a bad summer brew.

I literally joined ratebeer.com for the purpose of warning people about how nasty this brew is. Fake and overpowering orange taste, like a mixture of Tang and warm Budwesier. Never again.

Pours a sparkling gold with a large, pillowy, white head. It’s a nice looking beer, but everything else goes downhill from there. The aroma is of white bread and orange soda. The mouthfeel is light, thin and lively with a slightly metallic finish that diminishes after the first few sips. This tastes to me like a crisp pilsner that has been mixed with orange soda. If you could remove the soda pop flavor and sweetness from the equation, you might actually have a decent beer here, but as it stands, I can’t recommend it.

Bottle. Pours yellow/light orange color, no head. Aroma is of a creamsickle, orange cool aid. Taste has lots more wheat in it, orange finish. Thin and watery.

Honey, spices, tangy, cirtusy, creamy - sorta Blue Moon like. No wonder my girlfriend bought this. Doesn’t taste a whole lot like beer to me, orange soda?
