16 oz draft. Pours an amber color with about 1/2 inch of white head. Nose is all citrus. Flavor is similar, but with some light hops. Not a bad beer, but not something Id drink again unless it was at a party or something.

Amazing I’ve never rated this before... after realizing this I had to pour the remains of 12 empty bottles into a glass to gather about 1/3 ounce for rating! Pours an unclear yellow with a bubbly white head. Strong sweet cereal aroma, fruity pebbles, blueberry, super sweet. Flavor follows exactly, super sweet cereal, fruity pebbles, sort of blueberryish. Probably the most similar beer to Blue Moon.

It came in the same sample package as the fruit beers of leines. Much better then those but not even close on taste of the bock or original

Orange amber color at pour with medium head. Citrus notes overpower in the aroma, flavor has hint of citrus and hops. Blue-Moon like with a tad more flavor.

In what has become my favorite party beer, when SN Pale Ale isn’t around of course, this American Wheat is just perfect for buffalo wings or the front porch. Pop an orange in the glass and the "fruity pebble" flavor is brought right out. Easily a six-packer, this beer is both refreshing and cheap. This is the real Summer Shandy!

Had pumkin or a spice in it and to much of it to over power the overall taste of the beer

(12oz bottle) Pours a pale yellow body with a small white head. Aroma of wheat, artificial sweetener, and light ginger. Flavor of wheat, sweetener, and hops (grassy, orange) with a somewhat dry, chalky finish.

The first time I tasted it I was like "this is like Blue Moon, but better". It’s got a great fruity taste, and for those who like to put orange in their beer go for it. Sort of a fufu girl beer, but it’s pretty tasty. Has a nice hazy color and the smell is citrus, definitly orange.
