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.

Bottle. Smells fruity, lemons and oranges mostly, with some hints of wheat and blueberry. Tastes very sweet, probably the sweetest beer I’ve ever had. ThaBobfather is right, it does taste like fruity pebbles. It’s a good flavor, but kind of weird for a beer I must say. The oranges, lemon and blueberry flavor come out as soon as it hits your tongue... perhaps a bit too strong as it overpowers the wheat, malts and yeast. You can hardly taste the hops, but the yeast does come through a bit more at the end. Very smooth on the tongue, and the citrus flavor lingers around after you’re done. Not bad, but as others have said you can only drink a few before the sweetness gets to you.

Draught. Aroma of lemon, yeast and bubble gum. Taste of sweet spices and malt with a thin sweet finish. Can’t have more than 1 or 2, really sweet.

This tastes like fruity pebbles. No joke. Unfortunately, it tastes really artificial. Too much spice and I really can’t drink more than a couple before it’s over powering.

Thanks Immy. 12oz bottle. Pours cloudy golden in color with white head. Aroma wheat and spicey. Taste is about the same as the aroma with light blueberry with a dry finish.

Pours hazy golden brown with a decent sized off white head. Aroma is citrusy, spicey and flowery. Taste is mainly citrus and spice as well and a little malted wheat, not bad but not great.

Not a big fan of this style but bought a 6’er anyway. Pour looks inviting....after taking a sip....whoah! Tastes like drinking the milk at the bottom of a bowl of fruit loops. Way too sugary for my taste. Ended up dumping the rest down the sink. Blue moon is much better of an offering.
