undsioux7 (491), Cologne, Minnesota, USA Sep 4, 2008 Pours cloudy orange/amber with a white head. Holy bubblegum batman. It dominates the aroma. Just like bubblegum ice cream. Taste is banana, orange, a bit of sweet malt. Very unique. Rhapsudsy (5), Minnesota, USA does not count Aug 27, 2008 Liquid Juicy Fruit! Pours a hazy appetizing orange. Bubble gum aroma with citrusy hops and a touch of coriander. This one tastes very much like it smells, like a big fat pack of Juicy Fruit. The beer is crisp and carbonated which suits the flavors well. twindadplus2 (357), Wisconsin, USA Aug 20, 2008 On tap at State Fair. Very cloudy orange amber with a thin, tight white head. Sugary, spicy aroma. Flavor is a complex load of fruit zest, sugary malt, sweet fruit and a crisp hit of hops at the finish. This is good! Strykzone (959), Wood River, Illinois, USA Aug 17, 2008 Orange pour with a quickly dissipating head and plenty of suspended yeast. Yeast, hop, and spice aroma. There is a little bit of everything in the flavor. Yeast, hop, fruit, spice, malt, and alcohol. The hop[ adds a lot of zestiness that electrifies the tongue at times. Bubblegum showed up after the glass warmed, a result of the yeast. So multi-faceted! New flavors in every other sip. Delicious, too! Guerde (478), Welcome, Minnesota, USA Aug 16, 2008 (bottle) Pours a hazy orange with a small white head. The first thing I smelled was a strong scent of orange peel coupled with some coriander. A sweeter smell of apricot also appears. With further warming the beer begins to smell like a less potent version of de Dolle Arabier, and the hops begin to assert themselves more. Flavor is a little sweeter to begin with, but difficult to describe. There’s a sweet taste of orange, and another fruit that I can’t identify. The finish begins very spicy with coriander that then changes to more bready yeast and light bitter hops with a medium mouthfeel. I didn’t have too high of expectations before trying this beer, but it is really quite drinkable.
