Cloudy straw color,small white head that faded quickly leaving little behind.The aroma was fairly spicy and citrusy,kind of nice actually and surprising from a macro brewer,didn’t think they could do that.The taste is a little disappointing though.starts off as sort of cerealish in the beginning with a decent spice showing and some grainieness.Then is switches to a spicy lemon thing and the after taste lingers on and on and on.It’s hard to say if this is good or not but i guess from just the idea of would i drink this in volume,then no.It has plenty of flavor but just seems a little unbalanced in some way.Kind of a macro trying to look like micro by masking one of there cheap pilsners with some clouds,spice and fruit.Nice try but i’m not fooled by this one.

12oz bottle-hazy orange with a fairly significant soapy white head. big tangerine/orange peal aroma-overbearing if you ask me. Smells like floor cleaner-very artificial. tastes like the sunkist orange jelly candy i used to get when i was a kid. body is light and somewhat watery. ok, but not really a respectible wheat beer. makes a good chic beer i would guess.

Hazed dark gold, creamy white head. Nose is full of lemonhead candy and orange zest notes. Softer herbal, yeasty, minty notes upon warming. Flavor tastes like lemon and orange fruit loop cereal with a light peppery bitterness. Light bodied, medium carbonation, fruity finish. Only if someone hands me one at backyard b-b-que...

A pretty nice tasting brew overall: pours a hazey bright golden colour with a large fluffy white head. lots of wheat aroma and flavors all the way through. citrus fruit. grapes, oranges and peach. Pretty nice for a hot summer day.

Gorgeous sunset tan pint with a pleasing, full head. Telltale aromas of wheat, orange, and coriander immediately blossom in the nose. Medium-bodied with a refreshing, spritely taste of wheat and orange and coriander. Definitely in the top five percentile for the strength of the orange citrusy notes. Definitely hits the spot on a hot summer day. Deserves a much higher spot in the ratings.

You can almost see through it just a little hazy like a wheat beer should be. Artificially strong aroma. Blandish taste where the flavor does not quite come through. Light fruit taste also.

23 oz draft. poured cloudy butterscotch yellow with a medium sized off white head. Served without orange by request. Aroma was of orange and coriander. So much orange that I could swear they stuck an orange in their and then took it out before I could notice. The flavor was pretty spicy with coriander and citrus notes. Finished a little dry and lots of carbonation. I would swear that they added something more than wheat, yeast, hops, coriander, and water. Pretty decent and quite refreshing.
