Citrusy wheat beer that I didn’t like on the first sip. Had a funky aftertaste to me at first. After that, it seemed to go down a lot smoother. Not bad but I’ve had better.

A very fruity beer. Easy to drink, does not go well with any meal, but excellent alone. DO NOT DRINK IN THE BOTTLE (like all beers). Citrus flavors, refreshing for an evening. Me and my wife enjoy it. Great choice for non beer drinkers.

hazy yellow color, small fluffy head, some lacing. the look does not prepare you for the nose, which seems to have a hint of wheatiness, but is dominated by some kind of weird citrus aroma (at least i detect no banana). wow! i have no idea what the brewer was shooting for, but all i get in flavor is PEZ candy. medium bodied, fizzy, weird PEZ finish. this beer indeed left me speechless, as the comercial description promised, just not in a good way. 24 bottle sample case from sam’s club in matteson. now, what am i going to do with the remaining 5 bottles?

Bottle; quality wheat beer that tastes like, of all things, blueberries. Pours a hazy off-yellow with a nice head. A little too much on the sweet side for me, but with a nice finish. I prefer it to Blue Moon, and my girlfriend loves this stuff.

Picked this up for my wife... Cloudy pale yellow with fizzy white head. Moderate carbonation. Aroma is initially apricot, but then becomes more like blueberry. There is also some corrainder spice as well. Flavor is sweet and has a lot of orange and berry flavors with some subtle spice in the background. The finish is tangy orange, but a little thin with some alcohol peaking through. Overall this beer was quite enjoyable

Cloudy golden pour and blue berries and sweet fruits. Wow same with the aroma I thought it was fruit loops....but as someone before said its definately liquid fruity pebbles. It good but almost 2 sweet.

tastes like Blue Moon, but much better, and less fruity, the coriander adds a relaxing undertone

One of the best aroma’s, close your eyes and imagine smelling a box of Fruity Pebbles, spot on...maybe my beer was bad, because this left my stomach turning over, strong fruit, maybe too strong.
