I like to call this Trix beer. It tastes exactly like the Trix cereal. It’s a little weird and I can’t have more than one or two, but I’ve bought this on several occasions and everyone seems to enjoy it.

Bottle pours a cloudy, pale orange color with a foamy white head. Decent lacing around the glass. Aroma is very sweet, lots of citrus (mostly orange) and some hints of wheat. Flavor is again mostly orange, subtle hops, with a hint of coriander. Very crisp and refreshing flavor and mouthfeel. I think this would be a great beer to have on hand for a cookout. I wouldn’t want to drink more than a few of these though as I’m more a fan of bitter beers, but a nice change of pace here.

Wisconsins attempt at a belgian wheat.....failed. Fake citrus taste leaves the mouth sad and depressed. If you want a good wheat stay away from this.

Hazy orange colored pour with large white head. Malty, citrusy, orange aroma with a spicy, citrus bitter finish. Not bad.

My wife bought me a 6-pack of this beer because it was cheap. All told it wasn’t a bad beer. The lemon in the aroma was abnormally strange which gave me the impression that it was artifical and cheap. The taste was quite refreshing but also had a certainly peculiarity at the same time. I didn’t mind this beer, and considering the price I would probably drink it again, but it definitely did not leave me ’speechless’.

Cloudy yellow, good head, high carbonation. Aroma is fruity, almost bluberry/lemon (unexpected), also with bitter backbone and finish.

Bought this one for the wife cause I thought she may like it. Well I was right, she did. However, I thought the flavor was a bit soapy. Not terrible but really nothing great or good for that matter. Nice pour with a big white head. Aroma of soap and citrus. Flavor is pretty much the same. Overall, not bad but I won’t be buying this for myself at least.
