On tap at Henry’s 12th Street Tavern in Portland, OR--Poured a hazy, soapy wit -like body with a creamy white head. Nose of Fruity Pebbles cereal. Chemical, medicinal, syrupy, artificially sweetened textures. Eh!

On draft @ the Peoria sports complex in AZ. By far the best beer I’ve had from these guys so far. Nose was very fruity with lemon and apricot. Very refreshing, the best beer I had all weekend.

12 oz. bottle from Plaza Liquor - Pours a hazy light golden color with a half finger thick white head. Light spotty lacing. Has a sweet, orange aroma. Has a slight tart citrus flavor. Light body and thin palate. A good wheat beer.

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.

hazy straw color with a fleeting white head. Spicy sweet smell of peaches, black licorice. A sweet flavor is blueberry and raspberry syrups, fennel spice with a mild malty bread flavor. Not too bad. 4297

Bottle from BevMo. Very sweet fruity aroma. As was written before, Fruity Pebbles. Now don’t get me wrong I like Fruity Pebbles as much as the next guy. I’m not sure if it’s good for a beers aroma. Sweet fruity flavor. Citrus, corriander, and some blueberry. Could be a fruit beer, could be a wit. Fruitier than alot of fruit beers I’ve tried. Drinkable, but not too inspiring.

Pours hazy blonde/golden, thick white head. Aroma is just filled with fruits. I am not getting muhc of anyting natural in the flavor, and instead get too much added flavors. The aroma is overloaded with citrus / orange peel and wheat, it becomes borderline soda. Taste is about the same, with some added coriander, the whole mix give it a fruity taste close to grapefruit. Too much of a ’soda’ orange like taste with hints of hops in the background. Drinkable, but not natural enough for my tastes.

12 oz. bottle that I received as a gift. Pours a cloudy gold with a large linen white head that lasted through the first quarter of the glass and left zero lace. Aroma is sweet lemon, orange and wheat. The flavor is very similar with sweet lemon, orange, and wheat. The citrus sweetness is a bit too much, and I typically enjoy sweeter beers.
