Drunk poured from a bottle. Distinct scent, and flavors, of citrus; orange, perhaps lime. Carbonation and head fade away in the first few minutes. Lighter with a near perfect bite. It tastes, and drinks, the way that I believe an unfiltered wheat beer should. I will likely purchase this beer again. If you are looking for a nice staple summer beer, you should give this a try. All the best...

I enjoyed this beer. Light, crisp orange flavor which is a bit on the sweet side, but a nice change of pace. Not something I could drink over and over again, but a nice seasonal beer.

Not too sweet, not too heavy. Kind of spicy, orange aftertaste. I love it!

Golden color......extremely hazy......opaque. Fluffy head, though it fades a bit quick......citrus-orange aroma. Sweet malt flavor up front......smooth mouthfeel. Back develops a lasting, tangy orange flavor.

Bottle- Hazy yellow pour unleashes a standard frothy white cap with just some lace. The aroma is strange. It is quite perfumey and reminds me of fake blueberry candy. It also has some citrus and a bit of coriander, but the berry aroma is overwhelming. Tastes much like the aroma. Fake berry candy sweetness is powerful, with some orange and floral spiciness, and not nearly enough bitterness to mellow out the blast of berry essence. Sweet, sugary, this one was a chore to drink. Thanks to my mom for the bottle.

From a 16 oz tap pour in McCall, idaho, this came a cloudy yellow with a small white head and light lacing. Nose of berries and citrus, with some yeast. Smooth and light mouthfeel. Flavor of wheat and citrus. Almost like fruit punch. Refreshing.
