Bottle 08’. Citrus stands out in my notes. Light watery wheat with slight sour after taste. Soapy oragne in the nose and flavor. Fairly boring and uninspiring. Give it a miss.

Gorgeous sunset tan pint with a pleasing, full head. Telltale aromas of wheat, orange, and coriander immediately blossom in the nose. Medium-bodied with a refreshing, spritely taste of wheat and orange and coriander. Definitely in the top five percentile for the strength of the orange citrusy notes. Definitely hits the spot on a hot summer day. Deserves a much higher spot in the ratings.

7/12/08 on draught at the Whistle Stop Alehouse, Renton, Wa. Aroma is citrusy, with berry notes and a light sourness. Pours a hazy yellow orange wth a medium maintained white head. Flavor is very orange citrusy with a sweet starchiness and low bittering. The mouthfeel has a spritzy biting carb texture with medium body. Overall, it’s fairly refreshing, but the orange citrus is too strong to have more than one.

12 oz bottle. Pours a little more orangey than most wit beers. It’s a cloudy pale orange/gold/yellow color with a nice white head full of tiny, tightly packed bubbles. The only thing I can think of when I smell this beer is Fruity Pebbles. Exactly like Fruity Pebbles. Flavor is almost exactly the same as the aroma. It’s a perfect clone of Fruity Pebbles. There is a bit of bitterness at the end and it finishes a touch dry but man! Fruity Pebbles!

On tap. Cloudy orange body with a thin off-white head. Aroma is spicy, fruity, oranges and a bit wheat yeasty. Flavor is sweetish fruity, orange, some banana and lemon candy. Could be a lot more beer here, but its really a refreshing treat.

12 oz bottle. Foggy pale brown with a pocked white head. Nose is orange popsicle and mild wheat. Crisp carb with some wheaty smoothness. Taste like the nose; orange candy, slightly dry with a touch of residual bitterness. Pleasant and drinkable.

Bottle: Poured a murky orange yellow with a thin white jello like head. Aroma is fruity pebbles and wheat. Taste is sweet fruit/berry and wheat.

Bottle. Nothing new here in aroma or appearance. If you like a good strong fruit flavor in your brew this is for you,but a little much for me,,drinkable .
