Coriander and orange citrus nose. Smells like fruit loops cereal. Slightly cloudy pale straw wit small white fine head. Nice spicey flavors of rosemary coriander and orange zest with rather sweet wheaty malt background. Light body with fizzy slightly sour mouthfeel.

bottle: Pours a cloudy, pale yellow colour with a moderate white head. Extremely citrusy aroma. Tastes light on the palate to begin with but the citrus (orange) taste dominates too much and lingers after each swallow. BlueMoon is a much better citrus/wheat offering.

pours a very cloudy pale yellow with a medium white head, some lacing.
smell of fruit, bread-dough, some citrus, a whiff of licorice, spice.
taste of malt, wheat, licorice, touch of citrus, spice.
overall a "different" beer, drinkable but don’t think that i would have more than one in a sitting.

Wow, very fruity nd fizzy. The best way to explain this for me is simply this: I felt like I was drinking liquid fruit loops..seriously! Take it how you want it, I enjoyed it much because of the reminiscent factor it brought.

Its average all over, you shouldn’t have to add fruit to a beer to enhance its taste. The coriander adds the only touch as it ascends the subtle hops. Its drinkable, especially since I had at a bar at 0730 after working an all nighter in the hospital.

A nice summer beer. Has a small head but it has staying power. Good taste with a slight citrus/orange finish which I normally do not like but kinda liked in this beer. Would drink again but not one I would actually seek out.

Tap. Sampled at Orlando Ale House. Hazy golden colored and served with very little head. The aroma is fresh and I guess a little citrusy. The beer tastes very wheaty with a sharp citrusy, lemon taste that is borderline dishwater or chemicals. This beer is not very good and I doubt I’ll get it again, even on a hot day.

Fruity Pebbles in a light beer format. Aroma is nice and citrusy but the flavor of the cereal, not for my tastes.
