Aroma of orange and wheat. Flavor is much more of orange than most wheat beers I have tasted. I’m not a fan, but if you are craving orange tasting beer, then give it a try.

16 ounce draw. Pours hazy yellow orange. I wish more American wheat beers looked like this beer. Pronounced orange aroma and flavor. Presumably from the coriander. High carbonation. Dry finish.

Bottle to mug: Pours with little head and has a very cloudy orange color. Smells like citrus dish soap. The flavor is of full of oranges. Somebody out there probably likes it, but I won’t be purchasing it again.

Had this on tap. Definite wheat and citrusy aroma. Appearance was a very cloudy orange. Flavor was pretty weak and almost tasted like I was drinking orange juice instead of beer. Very dry aftertaste. Overall, I didn’t enjoy this beer.

a pretty awful beer from a brewery that I tend to enjoy. Tastes kind of like skittles mixed with a light beer. Really can’t finish this one...

Draught at Freaking Frog, Las Vegas
Cloudy blond color. Some wheat aroma, cookies too, milky; strange. The aroma is not bad, unfortunately the flavor is bad: weak, empty, dry, with an unpleasant aftertaste, a bit herbal.

Wheat Ale? This taste like a blueberry ale. Aroma was quite fruitful and nice, but too strong. Pour looked great with a minimal head. Not very enjoyable for a wheat ale.

Very unexceptional beer. A nice wheaty beer, but with little flavor other than very yeasty and like flour-rich biscuits. They do put out a promotional sunset wheat chapstic, which tastes like puppies and carebears sleeping on fluffy low-barometric clouds, so I’ll rate this average for the chapstic.
