Can on NW 795 to Tokyo: maybe it was just the environment, but certainly the most I ever enjoyed a beer on a plane. Yeah, too sweet and too many additives, but refreshing and flavorful, and not bad at all. First rating 2008: 5/3/5/3/8: Murky orange/brown color. Spicy, orange aroma with what malt, coriander, ginger, babana. Big nose, not natural though. Sweet, spicy, fruity flavor with ginger and all kinds of spices. Way overboard on the spices and additives. Palate light and spritzy. Drinkable, probably good in the heat, but way too much junk in it.

Lightly hazy golden orange with a full, white head. The aroms is sweet and fruity with blueberries, wheat, orange juice, coriander, baked bread and a potpouri/lotion type fragrance. The body is thin and light, probably exactly what you’d look for in the style. The flavor is fairly good, at least at first. The sweet fruit and mild spice is interesting, but slowly starts to grow a little annoying. A surprisingly enjoyable beer. Thanks Brian.

Pours a hazed, tawny yellow w/ a medium sized, spattered froth. Head fades fast leaving a full ring residual lace and a dusty canopy. Aroma is bright w/ fresh citrus. Light nectar w/ ample mellow residual effers. Malty and very fruity. Big citrus cream flavors w/ a mild biscuit essence. Slight cereal like Fruit Loops. Finish is very mellow w/ little bittering.

Not a fan of wheat. Never really liked the aftertaste of this, however I’ve never tried it with an orange slice.....

12 oz bottle thanks to my future mother in law. This happens to be her favorite at the moment so lets give it a try. Pours a hazy orange amber dense off white head. Aroma is wheaty some citrus, a little bit of malt, and a slight skunkiness. Flavor is two fold. On one side I get the wheaty citrussy flavors that is creamy in texture and crisp but the other side is that skunked light struck blah. I bet this might be more drinkable on tap. I’ll try to ignore that skunkiness while I drink this down..

A favorite of mine; good for those who love the combination of citrus and wheat. Still my favorite normal/everyday drinking kind of beer.

Plastic cup at the MN State Fair. Pretty nose: wheat, orange and some spice. Very refreshing flavor. Slightly sweet with some wheat and lemon accents. Body was on the light side, but by no means watery. Honestly tastes like drinking carbonated Fruity Pebbles.
