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.

Bottle; pours hazy light orange. Nose of curaçao, candied orange, wheat, yeast and a lot of coriander. Decent smell, but too much on the palate. Too floral, spicy, and sweet. Not a fan.

12 oz. bottle. Poured a hazy golden/ orange with a modest, foamy, off white head that diminished quickly but left some good, foamy lacing. The nose was some light malt, a little grain, yeast, and sweet fruit as peaches. The flavor was these and a little spice. Okay,...a light bodied hydrator. One of my girl friend’s favorites, so she shared.

Pours a muddy orange with a good off white head. Smells like rasberry iced tea. No kidding. Tastes the same. Not much else to say about this one. I guess its a nice alternative to iced tea on a hot summer day. Its refreshing, but just a strange, off putting flavor for me. If Snapple made a beer, this would be it.

Pale golden with a finger thick white head. Bready and citrus nose and flavor. Light mouthfeel. Bland.

Straight from the bottle. Citrus fruit taste, almost like Fruity Pebbles. It has essentially no carbonation, which I didn’t realize was so vital to a beer until it was completely sucked out here. A little thin, but enough Blue Moon-type flavor to be a good summer time beer.

Cloudy gold with a one finger white head and some lacings. Aroma is citrus. Taste is wheat beer with a fresh lemon wedge squeezed into it. Pretty refreshing drink for a warm day. Should probably be served ice cold for best results.
