This is a great warm weather beer. The flavor may be a little soft for some people, but it just goes down smoothly without being too light.

12oz bottle. Cloudy, dark yellow pour, with a little orange tinge. Slightly sweet lemony aroma. Sweet citrus flavor as well, a little hint of banana as well. Not too bad.

Bottle. Pours hazy pale gold with creamy soft white head. Smells wheaty, citrusy, and hints of coriander. Tastes citrusy sweet at first, followed by a smooth wheaty flavor with the clove, coriander and maybe a hint of nutmeg and of ginger. Pretty good, but not as good as others in its genre.

Pours hazy gold into a shaker. Tangerine aromas. Sharp, sour bubblegum upfront with a sour, painful finish.

Orange color with a white head. This beer had an almost citrusy smell and taste. There was a drinkability similar to iced tea I was really impressed with this beer. It would definitely hit the spot on a hot day.

Pours hazy blonde/golden, thick white head. Aroma is just filled with fruits. I am not getting muhc of anyting natural in the flavor, and instead get too much added flavors. The aroma is overloaded with citrus / orange peel and wheat, it becomes borderline soda. Taste is about the same, with some added coriander, the whole mix give it a fruity taste close to grapefruit. Too much of a ’soda’ orange like taste with hints of hops in the background. Drinkable, but not natural enough for my tastes.

Pours a nice orange color with a quickly diminishing white head. Very heavy on the carbonation. Aroma of citrus, wheat, and Fruity Pebbles. Taste is big on sweet fruit with wheat behind it. Very light mouthfeel makes this one easy to drink. Simply a light beer for a hot day. Drinking it in November doesn’t give you the same effect.
