11.2 ounce bottle- poured out a cloudy translucent gold with a giant and long lasting ivory head. Aroma was a little dusty, hops and citrus. Taste was just about perfect. Hoppy but mellow with a minor acidic bite, no bitterness at all. Champagne like carbonation and a light palate. Excellent, just excellent.

Sep 7, 2008 Bottle--Old rating---I just don’t get it. This is such wonderful stuff, a readily accessible beer that is top quality. I’ve just entered in a rating for Becks N/A and it’s hard to imagine that they are both beers and made (in theory) from the same ingredients. The beer has a hazy orange color with a large head. The aroma is citrus and fruity. Soft malt taste dominates with and a light fruit flavor. The finish isn’t too bitter and I read a review saying the finsh is tart, and that’s about right.

Sep 6, 2008 Has the perfect yeast smell! It is a solid example of the style and well made. Tried and true, certainly a great beer but nothing amazing. The orange-y-ness is very pleasant. (Ingredients: wheat starch and hop extract???? WTF???) Nothing that amazing.

Sep 5, 2008 Cloudy golden pour with a billowing cream colored head. Small brown floaties. A nice yeasty nose and a heavy bready spiciness. Sharp on the side of the tongue. Dry and creamy with a lasting hop finish. I’m a fan of the more subdued spiciness in this one.

Sep 5, 2008 Pours a cloudy orange from the bomber with a soapy off-white head. Mild yeast on the nose with caramel, apple, and faint cream in the flavor. Rich lacing with heavy sediment, yet unexectedly watered-down for my taste.

Sep 2, 2008 Orange-amber hazy body with a beautiful foamy head. Nice appearance! Like the aroma...After a few seconds the beer opens its own perfume. Delicious spicey-floral hop, freaky vine-must and fruity vanilla aromas. Complex texture with a good balanced hop in the flavor, nice spices like clove, cinnamon and coriander, rich body of top fermentation and various kinds of malts. Well hidden alcohol, strong hop, dry finish, beautiful character!
