Bottle from Hophead22, thanks man! Poured a cloudy, pale yellow color with a half inch white head that receded to a layer rather quickly. Aroma of crisp wheat, a touch of soft dough, a light spiciness, and some citrus (orange) rind. Smooth initial entry leads into a crisp, dry wheatiness paired with a tangy citrus flavor that transitions into a moderately sweet orange flesh that lingers into a lightly hoppy, dry finish. Moderate carbonation contributes to the crisp, dry mouth feel of the beer. Overall, a very well done fruit beer that doesn’t seem artificial in any way. I would drink this regularly if I could, and I bet it’s really nice on tap. Thanks again Tim!

Dec 17, 2009 Bottle at Rhian’s house - thanks toots. Nose is a solid real orange with smooth wheat behind it. Color could be more vibrant. Flavor tasted like maybe the bottle wasn’t fresh, but Redlands oranges are nothing to sneeze at so this may be the long-awaited replacement of Papago Orange Blossom. One can dream...

Nov 26, 2009 Presentation: Standard brown 12oz bottle. I love their logo. Growing up in Redlands this bottle hits the right notes for me.
Appearance: Almost like a well made mimosa (i.e. only a splash of O.J.) Their is very little head even when aggressively poured.
Aroma: Strongly like orange rind. Alcohol comes through quite a bit.
Taste: One of the most refreshing beers I’ve ever had. TONS of orange flavors - zesty and citrus, but not to a fault like some fruit beers, it is still a wheat beer.
Palate: Acidic and bubbly.
Overall: I really enjoy this beer. Highly recommend giving it a try sometime.

Oct 26, 2009 This is an excellent beer. Very fruity... without the fruit. Smooth great for a summer day. Best beer from hanger 24, if I could buy it on my side of the country i’d get it regular. Nothing on the bad of this beer.

Oct 7, 2009 Bottle thanks to DuffManSW. Hazy straw colored pour with a very short lived, white head. The aroma is lots of wheat with some sweet bubblegum esters and a touch of zesty citrus. The flavor is very crisp and clean with a nice wheat body, some more sweet esters (but not as overt as the aroma) finishing with some tangy citrus and a little spicy hops. The body is a smooth medium with soft carbonation and a crisp yet sticky finish.

Sep 23, 2009 12 oz bottle courtesy of an extra from duffmansw. Thanks a bunch! Pours a hazy yellowish straw, decent clouding, small bright white head that remains a decent film, a bit of lacing. Aromas are a good dose of orange fruit, pulp and rind mix with a touch of flaked wheat malt sweetness, cereal, with mellow underlying fruitiness. Initial is lighter bodied and easily quaffable, putting light cereal malts and a touch of orange fruity feel to the beginning, further into the body more orange fruit and rind come in, not sweet, but mellow and enjoyable with some flaked wheat sweetness, minimal hoppy bitterness, and cereal grainy qualities. A touch of bread, light sweetness that remains on the palate a bit, but finish fairly clean. A decent wheat beer that is nice considering the difference it provides from usual darker berry wheats. Quite refreshing. Cheers.
