Okay first before I tried this beer my associates told me that it has a fruit loop finish. I didn’t believe them. A nice golden color with a wheaty fruity nose. The taste is slightly bitter with orange and wheat in flavor. Surprisingly the finish did come with a fruit loop finish. I didn’t believe myself so I had my wife try, she, too said it had that finish.

pours with a nice head and sweet citrus aroma. very drinkable refreshing beer. orange and coriander flavors very noticeable. my only real critique is that it almost borders on juice which takes away a little from its identity as a beer. But I do love OJ

Pretty modest taste, aroma of coriander and citrus initially. Neutral, no banana or cloves. Good for summer.

This beer is fantastic. Probably my favorite wheat beer. Compared to blue moon but much better. Has a citrus taste, but not overbearing. I could drink this everyday of the week.

Bottle poured into shaker. Hazy orange colour with a thin white head. Aroma was painfully fruity, almost perfume. Flavour was chemically citrus, not the traditional citrus of better wheat ales.

One of my favorite wheat beers. The Fruity Pebbles taste is is strong, but it does not taste like a traditional "fruit" beer.

Meh. Not a bad wheat beer, but not the best I have ever had. Has nice fruity hints, and very clean finish. Quite sweet and easy to drink.

A bit of a mixture in flavors between blueberry muffins and Fruity Pebbles cereal. Lots of sweetness, and certainly tasty, but not something I could drink more than one of at a time.
