16 ounce draw. Pours hazy yellow orange. I wish more American wheat beers looked like this beer. Pronounced orange aroma and flavor. Presumably from the coriander. High carbonation. Dry finish.

A very fruity tropical beer. The wheat and the malt are dominate in this one and while American wheat are a bit more fruity, this one really shines out.

Draught at Kane County Cougars game. Spice in the nose like corriander or allspice. Cloudy, brownish orange from what I could tell looking through a plastic cup. Off-white head. Tastes like it smells; spices. Some dough in the finish. Not bad. Better than Leinie’s hefe. Not quite sweet enough. There is some flavor aspect I don’t like. Buddy says it tastes like fruit loops. My second time having it out of a bottle was a noticeably better experience. Banana notes with some sweetness. A good summer quencher with flavor.

Draft at Old Boise Brewfest: Dark gold with a little haze and a large white head. Nose is abundant with fruity and citrus tones, just a little wheat tone in the background. Tastes sweet with orange, like orange extract was added. Loses a point or two there. Light body and small wheat character. Overall this is pretty good.

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.

Bottle. Pours out a clouded yellow color with a thick white head that goes away very quickly. Smell is lemons, blueberries (??), wheat, grass, and plums possibly. Taste is sweet and smooth, with high carbonation. Very easy to drink, but after I drank four of them, it started giving me a touch of a headache. Still, a nice thirst quenching beer that would be good in the summertime, thats for sure.
