Pour is a hazy yellow. Aroma is super amped up coriander. If you close your eyes you could mistake this for orange juice. Flavor is a bit bland. Some lemon zest and a bit of wheat. Was the powerful smell there to hide the lackluster flavor? Nothing special.

On tap. Cloudy orange body with a thin off-white head. Aroma is spicy, fruity, oranges and a bit wheat yeasty. Flavor is sweetish fruity, orange, some banana and lemon candy. Could be a lot more beer here, but its really a refreshing treat.

<i>Draught at Detroit airport.</i> loudy amber with a trace of white head; unexpected aroma of berry fruits and the more usual wheat; sweet to start with strawberry, orange and other fruit flavours, then a short bitter burst and a dry floury finish. Different and rather pleasant.

Pours hazy gold into a shaker. Tangerine aromas. Sharp, sour bubblegum upfront with a sour, painful finish.

Bottle. Body-looks like an American Wheat-hazy orange yellow with a thin ring of bubbles. Nose-big coriander, anise, grains of paradise. Taste-coriander, medium acid, orange zest, fennel, sausage, unsweet grape fruit juice, heather, very citrusy, good clean yeast. A big, bold, spicy American Wheat. I can see why people would put orange slices in this to make it taste better. Easy to drink.

Cloudy dark orange with a thin white head. Aroma is mostly blueberries with a wheaty body and some citrus. Taste is a lot of fruit blueberries and oranges, but the taste becomes grainy metallic and harsh without much nice smooth wheat.

Draft at Jupiter’s in Champaign, IL . Pours golden with a white head. Aroma of orange and wheat malt. Flavor of orange, pale wheat malt, and berries. This could use a little more hops to bring it in balance, but a decent summer wheat if you like sweeter fruity beers.

Cloudy yellow with a creamy, small white head. The citrus nose was more like a citrus scented dish detergent. Lively carbonation but lacking in any appeciable flavor. Like drinking lemonade from a soapy glass that wasn’t rinsed well.
