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.

Pours into a yellow haze with a frothy head. The smell is orange and lemon with a touch of a floral hint. Overall a nice spring/summer beer which is light and refreshing on a warm day!

2009 Bottle - Pours a murky pale orange with a medium, frothy white head...aroma is what the fuck? Hmm, Spicy citrus, anise, cloyingly sweet malt, fruity...is that a good thing or bad?...well, I took a sip anyways, spot on for what I expected, more spice, orange, old bread and sticky malt, but with a fleeting bitterness...it’s like the shit people use to trick their kids into digesting medicine, artificially sweet and chalky...I tried to finish it, but the nose started to make me sick, never again...

12 oz. bottle. Pours a hazy gold and even with an aggressive pour it was hard to get much of a head on this one. What was there was small, foamy and white. Strong lemon and raspberry notes in the nose. Some musty yeast and a touch of wheat are there too. Medium carbonation with a medium-light mouthfeel. Very fruity on the palate with a mix of citrus and berry. Some lemon, lime, orange, raspberry, star fruit, and maybe a bit of pineapple. The wheat aspect definitely takes a back seat. My girlfriend aptly described it as "fruity pebbles". Medium-long finish with lots of fruit hanging around. Just a little too fruity for my taste.

Bottle. Pours cloudy orangish. Smell of wheat and fruit. I am not a wheat fan by and means, but once in awhile I will try one that is drinkable as is this one. Good wheat here.

Pours a typical cloudy blond color with frothy off-white head. Strong nose of fruit especially pear and possibly apricot is present. Flavor is also fruit filled and exceptionally smooth. I give it some points for being unique.

Pours light orange with a medium white head. The fruits and spices hit immediately. Very smooth, but i would classify as more of a fruit wheat beer. Very easy to drink

Pours cloudy gold. Aroma is fruity of banana and yeast and a bit of spice. Flavor is very fruity. Not traditional, but tastes good nevertheless. There’s a bit of smoke in there that bothers me.
