From tap at the brewpub as Orange Wit. Pours clear ad golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma is mild orange fruity with a light herbal note. Mild sweetness and light herbal honey touch. Ends bitter and dry. Smooth and crisp overall impression.

On tap. Hazy yellow/amber pour, white head. Orange, citrus, wheat, coriander, sweet honey, and grain. Mostly sweet fruit, honey, and foral notes. Decent beer, I dont know how much of this I could drink though.

Bottle from South Bay Drug. Pours gold with a frothy white head. Aroma is sort of citrus. Body is less than medium, and carbonation is moderate. Flavor is rather orange, along with something like pale malt. Citrus develops more strongly into the finish. It’s an ok beer, but not one I would go to great effort to obtain.

Pours pale yellow w/ a good head and lingering lace. I would not say it smells of citrus at all let alone oranges but it is of distinction. Some kind of gummy spice. Medium full nectar w/somewhat ceamy carbonation. Wonderfully malty w/ exotic flavanoids bursting allowing a hopsy twitch to exite the buds. The finish lingers w/ the taste of biscuits.

Aroma of honey, orange, coriander, light sweetness, and an odd plastic kind of baseball card laminate aroma. Pours golden with a fluffy head. The flavor is moderately sweet with a good dose of honey, orange peel, coriander. Generally sweet, drinks easily.

22oz. bottle. Pale hazy golden color with a large fluffy white head. Heavy honey and perfumey coriander in the aroma. Wheaty, grainy flavors dominate, hints of orange and flower blossoms. These characters linger in the finish. Mouthfeel is light, somewhat dry.

Sample at the brewery. Pours clear golden, white head. Aroma / taste, orange, some honey blossom, coriander, grains, sweet honey like palate, with some caramel. Profile is hoppy but remains smooth and enjoyable.
