Overpoweringly orange...its that simple. Nice pour, a golden hazed orange with a average to above average foamy head, and a very appetizingly visible carbonation. The aroma was oranges--not hints of orange, but much like a glass of orange juice that’s a bit past its prime. The taste is also very orange...not much complexity. After the first few sips, it begins to take on the flavor of the Fruity Pebbles (the breakfast cereal). At this point, it became incredibly difficult to finish the beer. The only thing that keeps this from being a total disaster is that the carbonation is just right and the palate/finish are decent. But then, what’s the point of a beer that feels good in the mouth but tastes downright awful?

Oct. 2007 - Pour cloudy yellow with decent head, no lacing. Citrus aroma and an overload of citrus in the flavor. This beer was so fruity, I thought it was going to be a fruit beer, laced with apricot or something. Mouthfeel was full and well carbonated. Not a bad beer, but a bit too sweet and fruity.

...bottle. An interesting flavor on this one, but artificial. Orange notes, blended with slight malty taste on the palate with some spicyness. Weird aftertaste of orange, that seems to get overpowering after a few. This is a pretty good beer for the most part, but tastes too artificial and needs more body.

Bottle: Pours a cloudy honey must reminiscent of mead. thick shiny white head. Strong nose of tangerines and mixed citrus with hints of pine. Bosdy is full and smooth with sugared grapefruit ringing. Large thick lacing exudes from thicker quaff rings. finish is rounded and full with hints o hops and pine. A very nice brew. Worth a try.

Pours with a fizzy, white head with a fruity pebbles aroma with some clove and ornange peel. Head goes away quickly, but the lacing stays for a while. Murky yellow body, not an amazing taste. Pretty dry and fizzy.

If I was rating a beer for breakfast then this one would be #1 because fruity pebbles is my favorite cereal... ...But I like drinking beer that taste like beer so sorry this one I will not be buying again...

This beer was pretty good on draft at the Brix. Very strong and unique aroma of fruity pebbles. Citrus flavored taste. Not watery at all. Very drinkable and refreshing.
