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.

Aroma is quite citrusy.Pours a cloudy golden color with a white frothy head. This has a lemon punch to it.It reminds me of lemon pledge.Overall the beer finished clean and was refreshing.

Pours a hazy yet bright orange color with a fluffy white head. Very attractive. Very strong orange peel notes in the aroma with an underlying bit of coriander spiciness. Coriander up front in the flavor that opens up into strong notes of orange and blue fruity pebbles. I was surprisingly pleased with this one. *edit* I see the person before me also felt the fruity pebbles in the flavor. I suppose great minds think alike.

Hazy light gold. Frothy white head. Predominently sweet lemony wheat aroma. A bit like a mixture of shampoo and dish soap. Taste is kind of the same with a dry wheaty finish. The start though, is sort of a sweet adjuncty thing. Sweet herbal stuff. Doesn’t do much for me.

Pale golden with a finger thick white head. Bready and citrus nose and flavor. Light mouthfeel. Bland.

Aroma has a bit of berry to it. Color is a hazy yellow with light carbonation and thin head. Taste is citrusy. Starts with a light body that goes down fizzy. Finish has a strong lemon flavor with a little coiander coming though and a mild wheat taste. Its a bit funky with the strong lemon flavor.

Seriously. Fruity Pebbles. I thought it was just me but I guess it has been said before. If you like your beer to remind you of breakfast cereal then look no further. Taste = Fruity Pebbles. I like it but its less of a beer and more of an experience.

They claim it tastes like a sunset in a bottle. In my opinion, it tastes like orange alka-seltzer.
