Bottle. Served very, very cold (blasphemy, I know !). I mention this because this beer tasted really good at first. Flavor was good, refreshing, but not overwhelming. As it got warmer, I started to pickup on other’s comments of this being to sweet and cloying. By the end, the waitress asked if I wanted another, I declined.

I was immediately struck by a similarity to Flintstones vitamins. It was so intense I exclaimed. This beer was really atrocious. On the up side, it didn’t linger very long on the palate. This is a drain pour.

There are aromas & flavors in this that just don’t belong in a beer. Tastes like the milk left over after eating a bowl of Fruit Loops was poured into my beer. And worse, the fruit taste is very artificial. Maybe it wouldn’t be bad on a hot day, but I think i’m going to avoid this one for now on.

(Bottle): Pous a pale yellow color, cloudy, small head, whitish. Grapefruitty effervescent aroma. Fizzy, carbonated, fresh, fruity. Like a club soda. Some lemony, grapefruity taste. Strong grapefruit-lemony taste & aftertaste. Alright.

If I got really drunk on beer Friday, woke up on Saturday and ate some Fruity Pebbles then threw up...this is what it would taste like.

I picked up a 6 pack of this and have enjoyed it. A good summer beer with slight orange flavoring. I went against the nonsense man law and threw in an orange, also very good.

Hazy grapefruit juice colored pour on draft with no head. Smell is like a cross of fruity pebbles, orange slice candy, and sweet tarts, yet somehow I like it. Taste is a mild, blandish fruity, candy like, with a big orange flavor and a light wheaty taste in the finish. Definitely unique, and somehow I like it, against my better judgement.

On tap. Smell is 100% Fruity Pebbles Cereal. It is uncanny - as though it is liquid Fruity Pebbles. Cloudy golden appearance with no lastin head. Reminds me more of a Hefe than an American Wheat. Really distinctive orange flavor. Almost tastes like a candy beer. Very sweet taste
