A murky yellow/orange apperance with a white head. It left quite a bit of lacing on the glass. The aroma was full of lemons and coriander. The flavor was a bit strong and filled with peaches, oranges, lemons, and more coriander. A slightly sour and spicy aftertaste. If it werent freezing cold outside I think I would have enjoyed this more. A good summer beer.

Bottle. Pours cloudy golden yellow with small but rocky white head. The aroma is lemon drops, faint blueberry, and not much else. The flavor is very lemony, but without much sourness, kind of like a sugar cookie. Clean finish. As it warms, it becomes less lemony and more like batter mix for blueberry muffins. Kind of weird. Not particularly well made in my opinion, but still refreshing.

bottle. Aroma seemed an almost forced flavorful berry orange like. Aromawas like a wrigley’s gum fruitiness. Definately drinkable was this orange looking beer with manufactured orange & berry fruitiness taste, yet I didnt mind finishing the bottle. Still a 2.9

12 oz bottle at Kyle’s "This Is Not A Beer Tasting" beer tasting. Hazy gold with a white head. Nose is like a cheap pineapple lollipop, and the flavor is not much better, as it adds a strong fake blueberry tone. Bleh.

Foggy gold with a thin white head. Aroma is light citrus, orange, nutmeg, coriander. Taste is an orange extract, light wheat, pretty sharp orange.

Pours a cloudy, golden/wheat color with a foamy, milky white head. Aroma of orange madelines, which turns a little nutty and burnt as it opens up. Creamy mouth carries flavors that seem "off". Lemon, orange peel, berries, wheat, clove and florals that in theory should work together nicely, but it’s really a bit of a mess. Finish lingers sour, fruity, soapy and confusing. Complex... in a bad way.

Awesome... I just scrolled down and noticed "Fruity Pebbles" which is another great aroma descriptor.

Pours a light orange color with a small head. Aroma of orange peel, lemon, and some spices. Taste of orange, wheat, and coriander. Light but very refreshing.
