What can i say i found a beer that taste like fruity pebbles. Pours a cloudy pale yellow/amber like a wheat ale should with a white head, and the smell of a sour orange.

On tap. Pours cloude orange-gold with a white fluffy head. Aroma of orange and spice. Strong bubblegum flavor. Clean finish. Decent summer beer.

Cloudy orange with a white head. The aroma is sort of a sour orange and the flavor is the same. Different from anything i’ve had and I enjoyed it.

Pretty solid brew from leine. Pours a cloudy pale yellow/amber like a wheat ale should with a white head. Aromas of orange and spices on the nose with a flavor that follows suit. I really enjoyed this brew. It reminds me of Blue Moon. So if you dont have the time or the money to go buy blue moon and oranges, this beer is a good alternative. Not as good but still a tasty beer. I can definitely see how this beer would be awesome on a summer day.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy yellowish white. Fluffy white head and some cotton-like lacing. Orange zest in the nose, with a ton of spices and raspberry. Orange zest again in the flavor, banana, spices, tangy malts. I can see the Fruit Pebbles comparison, but meh...it’s not too bad. Soft and thoroughly drinkable.

Not bad, not bad at all. I don’t really get the "fruity pebbles" stuff, haha, but I don’t think it tastes like that at all. Different strokes I guess. Anyway, this is a nice, light, crisp beer. As others have said, good on a summer day. As you might guess, lots of orange citrus in this one, but smoother than you’d expect. Pretty refreshing. A nice session beer. I like it a lot, should be rated higher.

A very decent wheat. Smells aromatic, fruity, taste is sweet, but not overly syrupy, finishes clean. Good for just about any weather hot or cold, not too heavy so you can enjoy a few at one time.

Ok, I’ve heard everybody bitching about how much this tastes like Fruity Pebbles and all and I have to admit it is a fruity beer, but its also a good one. Very hazy pour but it has a fruity and yeasty smell. Nice sweet fruity, wheaty taste that would be absolutely awesome on a hot summers day. Guess I’m in the minority but hell, I liked this brew.
