Bottle, thanks argo0. Cloudy orange appearance, with a small white head. Strong orange/lemon aroma with coriander and cereal. Flavor is a good bit less fruity, but also very thin. Cereal still lingers in aftertaste. Flavor is disappointing but the aroma wasnt really all that bad.

Robe blonde voilée surmontée d’une mousse blanche qui s’estompe. Arômes d’épices, d’agrumes, de malt et de céréales. Saveurs de blé, de bleuets, de sucre, d’agrumes, d’épices et de levures.

Bottle. Poured a hazy light brown (almost an off yellow) with a frothy white head that leaves light lacing. The aroma put out citrus, spices, and hints of wheat and yeast. The flavor has an orange/lemon citrus mix with a light spiced background. Light to medium body. Orange peal aftertaste. Another decent summer session beer.

Pours a cloudy orange with a half-inch off-white head. Nice aroma of berries, coriander, wheat. Light, refreshing, tangy flavor: blueberries, coriander, sugary malted wheat. Medium bodied. very refreshing and enjoyable.

(Tap and Bottle) Pours a hazy yellow/orange with a small, but lasting head. Heavy aroma of spices, with the taste being similar. Rather dry and not very sweet. Still enjoyable to drink and refreshing. With a little more balance, this could be a great beer.

hazy yellow color, small fluffy head, some lacing. the look does not prepare you for the nose, which seems to have a hint of wheatiness, but is dominated by some kind of weird citrus aroma (at least i detect no banana). wow! i have no idea what the brewer was shooting for, but all i get in flavor is PEZ candy. medium bodied, fizzy, weird PEZ finish. this beer indeed left me speechless, as the comercial description promised, just not in a good way. 24 bottle sample case from sam’s club in matteson. now, what am i going to do with the remaining 5 bottles?

Bottle. A spiced citrus spritzer in a beer bottle. Coriander. A little orange. Coriander. Some citrus. Coriander. Hazy, dark yellow body with a white head that disappears. The aroma has some malts in it in the form of toasted grain, but the dominant scent is coriander and orange peel. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. Light body and watery texture. Lots of carbonation. What this beer has going for it is that it is a thirst-quencher with coriander flavoring.
