On draft. Pours a dark hazy orange and has a very fruity aroma almost as if i just opened a pack of bubbalicious, the taste too is as if you are chewing on peachy/orange flavored gum, very sweet brew lots and lots of corriandor in this one. Not bad but also one of those beers you cant have to much of, with all its sweetness take only in small doses.

12oz Bottle, pours semi-cloudy hazy light yellow with a fizzy head. aroma is citrus and blueberry. The first sip is very blueberry tasting. It is refreshing and wasn’t bad sitting round the pool. a little too sweet for me.

THIS IS MY WIFES FIRST RATING HAHA When people talk about the "fruity pebble-ness" they’re serious. All my girls love it. Has a nice light flavor with strong overtones of fruit. We drink it on draft usually. My husband says, "Not a mans mans beer" lol. overall I love it

16 oz. draft at Buffalo Wild Wings. Pour is orange amber, clear with a mostly whiye head. Aroma of citrus and some caramel malt. Taste is very citrusy, mostly orange (I had this with out the customary orange slice) with a medium - full body and some nice caramel nut malt. Overall, much better than I was expecting and a nice pair with spicy wings, very refreshing.

A light, refreshing brew of peculiar character. Stands out from similar brews like Blue Moon, as it’s fruit character is exxagerated. One of my personal favorites, it can be enjoyed in the summer as a truly refreshing treat.

Hazy tangerine body. Frothy, pure white head with good retention. Nice looking ribbons of sticky lace. The aroma is like mixed fruit roll-up. Artificial smelling strawberries, apples, oranges and blueberries comprise the bulk of the nose, with drying wheat adding just a touch of contrast. The flavor shows mostly sweet, syrupy fruit, with some dry grains. Thin, watery body with a short, crisp finish. Very "fake" feeling, like its comprised mostly of artificial additives. Similar to Abita Purple Haze on many levels. Drinkable on a hot summer’s day, but that’s about it.

The beer leaps from the 12-ounce bottle a fuzzy lemon yellow with a portly creamy white head that lingers long, finally, the lace gets to put on its show with a nice coating of lace. Nose has a nice fresh wheat bread aroma, sweet with a citrus like crispness, a touch of orange peel, with a lemon twist. Start has a mild wheat presence; a trace of bitterness at the back, top is light to middling in feel. Finish has steady acidity with the mild hops adding a bit of twang, somewhat sweet and certainly dry aftertaste finishes the beer, a nice refreshing beer.
