Pours cloudy and golden, with a medium white layer of foam. Smells and tastes of mixed berries and cereal. This is such a delicious beer. One of my favorites.

Pours amber-orange, foamy white head. Aroma is light, slightly citrusy-wheat. Flavor is sweet and citrusy, tad bit of honey too, I think. Nicely balanced flavors. Smooth and delicious. Underapreciated, in my opinion.

Not that bad of a wheat beer. I don’t go out and buy it, and thank God they have it on tap at the Red Wings game at Joe Louis Arena or I would be stuck with a GODAWFUL Miller product.

On draft. Pours a bright hazy orange. Actually, mine was so cloudy it looked like thin orange juice. Had a decent head with some lacing. Sweetness in the nose. Maybe some coriander. The taste is like Trolli Gummi Bears. Really artificial fruitty. A little bit of body, but this is really just kind of an imitation beer.

Orange Cloud resembling the planet of venus. Fruity Pebble like smell with a hint of pride. A surprisingly tasty beer and not too much fruity flavor. Nice hit on the palate. Enjoyable wheat.

Poured into glass. Thick head dissipates quickly. Thick orange color after pouring. Nice cascade of flavor; hops, wheat, orange.

I imagine this would be a nice summertime session beer, but having had this in January, can’t quite say for sure. I good orange flavor to it - not too overpowering. Would enjoy again.
