Bottled. An unclear orange beer with a thin lazing white head. The aroma is very spicy with notes of cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg as well as strong notes of wheat. The flavor is sweet and very wheaty and very spicy again cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg are present, leading to a dry spicy and wheaty end. The body is thin.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of Degarth. Hazy, golden with an off-white head. Very spicy accents in the nose - slightly gingery. Thin and somewhat watery body, sweetish, spicy and almost soapy. Dy finish. But a decent summer quencher. 200507

Mode: Draft
Source: Milwaukee Airport

opaque light orange, fine white head, streaks of drippy lace, light sweet fruity aroma, creamy yet carbonate body, lots of sweet orange flavor, character is kept light by the wheat, carbonic bite and sweet orange makes this an orange soda and gets a good score only because I like orange cream sodas,

Opaque tan. Spicy, brash nose - not refined but full of spice, orange. Creamy with orange and pear. Sweet and sour, like a candy. Quenching, wheat note in the finish.

Draught at Freaking Frog, Las Vegas
Cloudy blond color. Some wheat aroma, cookies too, milky; strange. The aroma is not bad, unfortunately the flavor is bad: weak, empty, dry, with an unpleasant aftertaste, a bit herbal.

Cloudy orange with large white head. Very sweet aroma with loads of spices and peach notes. Citric flavour with yeasty and coriander notes. Not a good wit.
