This was a very refreshing beer. It tasted very fruity, almost like fruity pebbles. Well worth it for a summer time drink.

2 pints at Bull Run Inn, after trying two samples. This beer’s taste had an uncanny resemblance to a bowl of fruity pebbles. Included the citrus and coriander aroma and taste, esp when served with an orange, and poured a body similar to Blue Moon. I really liked this brew. Easy to drink, great tasting if you like fruity tasting beers....or fruity pebbles. ::::: Everytime I have this beer, the rating drops lower and lower. However, the one quality this beer always has is its flavorful drinkability.

Strawberry and cherry aroma. Thick head and cloudy golden pour. Powerfully strong and distinct taste of blueberries, with no other discernible flavors. Weak finish of blueberries. Very unique and enjoyable, but suspect one dimensional flavor for a beer. Uprated for unique character and the fact that I love blueberries. Beer purists will probably not like it.

3/14/08 notes: on tap, Nikitas. Color is opaque orange creamsicle. Tastes and smells like an artificially flavored fruit candy. Way too sweet, and no real characteristics of wheat ales are allowed to come out. Will not have again.

Overall Impression: I’m not going to apologize for liking this one. Its a nice, tasty, enjoyable summer wheat. Nice body to it, but still easy drinking. A really nice example of a style that I don’t usually find myself loving. Great for a hot summer days by the pool or the grill. I know its chic to dismiss this one, but I don’t agree, in fact, I’ve got it just below Gumballhead on my list of best wheat ales I’ve tried.

This was a pretty nice refreshing drink after my hockey game tonight. Very much a Wit-styled one with the coriander and oranges in the nose and oranges in the body. Very cloudy, nice lacing. THanks Ron for the trade.

sweet and boring. If you like fruit flavored beer ....then this is your beer. High in citrus - low in alcohol.

On tap. Pours a auburn color-clear with minimal white head. Aroma of orange and yeast. Well-balanaced taste of citrus, yeast, and hops. Very nice summer beer!
