I like wheat beers, but I thought this was a bit too sweet--like an orange slice leeched out for a while. It does possess a lovely hazy golden glow.

Had at the Irish pub beside Chateau Elan. Good with lemon. Kind of like a hefeweizen. I like it.

Is one of the worst things I have encountered. Smells like you’ve been drinking a night full of fuzzy navels, or rather the girl you’re with has. Lingers on the palate which just adds to it’s awfulness.

Draft at Toad’s Place. Pours a very cloudy mustard color with minimal white head. Very fruity - oranges, coriander, and cotton candy. Too me, it’s like a lemonade with an orange twist. One friend said it tasted like fruitloops! This is the beer to give to girls who say ’I don’t drink beer’. And any beer that can be used to get girls drinking beer is ok by me.

This is much better on tap than in bottle. Pours golden color, smells of fruity pebbles - which is pretty interesting to say the least.

Tastes like someone put SweetTarts in my beer. I don’t think I’ll be trying this again.

Well I definitley will say the aroma is full, smelling of fruity pebbles. It seems to be a full of oranges, cherries, lemons, and blueberries. It is a nice unfiltered orange-yellow color, with a full white head. It’s flavor is also very fruity, full of blueberry, cherry, orange, lemon, and some sweet wheat malts. It’s very enjoyable, not too sweet, even though its full of fruit flavor. It’s not hoppy, which would fight and destroy the flavor. It’s very good.
