With a slice of orange this is a delicious beer. Without the slice of orange I cannot drink it!

Draft - I remember when Leinenkugel made an outstanding Wheat Beer(1997). This beer is gross. I don’t want to drink a beer that tastes like stripper perfume smells.

Pours cloudy dark yellow with a foamy/frothy white head. Has a nice aroma of blueberries, wheat and a little coriander and orange. The flavor disappointed as it is worse than the aroma, but its ok. The flavor is of blueberries upfront then the orange takes over and a hint of coriander. The body is watery and there is a slightly unpleasant aftertaste. I must say I was surprised at the taste after having this delightful aroma. Not bad and better than many other wheat beers mass produced such as blue moon, but nothing special.

bottle. Aroma seemed an almost forced flavorful berry orange like. Aromawas like a wrigley’s gum fruitiness. Definately drinkable was this orange looking beer with manufactured orange & berry fruitiness taste, yet I didnt mind finishing the bottle. Still a 2.9

This is a beer that starts well and begins to weigh on your mind. Everything about it seems somewhat artificial, from the citrusey flavor and strong wheat tint. Generally about par in its appearance (light white head, darkish yellow). Not bad, but you just can’t drink too much of it, else it just gets old.

Draft at the ballpark. A bit of a hazy, murky brew. This beer is true to style in look, aroma, and flavor. The aroma is a bit fruity (orange/lemon), a bit spicy, and a bit sweet. The flavor following the same lines has notes of bittersweet citrus, spicy notes, cereal grains, and a touch of sweetness (honey). All in all a nice summer beer.

I can’t get this locally and had it with a friend. I thought I detected a licorice aroma. Tasted hint of blueberry and maybe peach.

Poured a hazy orange color with a slight head. Slight bready aroma. Tasted a little bready, a little yeasty, a little citrusy with a nice spicy zip at the end. Knocked down a couple at the end of a hot day, which really quenched my thirst, which is what this beer is for. Nice smooth, easy drinking beer.
