Golden pour with white head. Nose of cheap lemon & orange extract. Flavor is much the same with a weird film that is left on the palate. A real pounding beer on a hot day.

12oz. bottle. Pours like a hefe but with a little more peach color to it. Thin white head that leaves a little bit of lace on the glass. I had a few particulates in the glass as well, unfiltered I guess. Smells sweet with a few normal beer smells i.e. malt or hops. Smells of citrus and summer fruit. Tastes great a little bit of malt all the way through but a lot of fruit flavors. It’s like a citrus taste but with barely any acidity to it. Not quite peach flavored though. Smooth on the palate, nice carbonation and even though it’s only 4.7%abv it’s still got a little alcohol on the back of the tongue. Drink this until you get full.

a pretty awful beer from a brewery that I tend to enjoy. Tastes kind of like skittles mixed with a light beer. Really can’t finish this one...

Pours cloudy light amber. A good bit of head, that leaves a little bit of lacing. Nice citrus aroma and flavor.

The pour is a hazy yellow with a white head. Nice aroma consisting of orange and lemon with a flavor that is citrusy with a touch of licorice.

2009 Bottle - Pours a murky pale orange with a medium, frothy white head...aroma is what the fuck? Hmm, Spicy citrus, anise, cloyingly sweet malt, fruity...is that a good thing or bad?...well, I took a sip anyways, spot on for what I expected, more spice, orange, old bread and sticky malt, but with a fleeting bitterness...it’s like the shit people use to trick their kids into digesting medicine, artificially sweet and chalky...I tried to finish it, but the nose started to make me sick, never again...

12oz bottle. Cloudy, dark yellow pour, with a little orange tinge. Slightly sweet lemony aroma. Sweet citrus flavor as well, a little hint of banana as well. Not too bad.
