The orange in this beer give it an aroma of marmalade. Cloudy pale orange color. Sweet taste but not over powering. Marmalade taste with a wheat finish. Palate not as chewy as I like in a wheat beer. Very impressed with this one.

Pours cloudy orange with a thin white head. Aroma is lemony. Flavor is lots of citrus fruits with a dish soap finish

Draft at the Great Lost Bear in Portland - Poured a cloudy yellow in color with a medium foamy white head. Aroma is of citrus/oranges and spices (coriander?). Flavor pretty much matched the aroma. More than slightly sweet; a disappointment. A bit too "unbeer-like" for me...

Bottle. Pours a golden with a small head. Aroma of lime, wheat, and lemon. An actually pleasant sweetness to this one, which I must admit I was shocked about. I *could* drink this beer and enjoy it.

Pretty average wheat in every sense. A little yeast, a little fruit yada yada yada.

VERY fruity. Lacks the spice and earthy depth of other american wheets, but it is very drinkable. I detected lots of banana, not as much citrus, and a lot of (surprisingly) blueberry flavour present. Anyway, another beer, another rating.

Light and spritzy with a nice light citric tartness. Pours a cloudy maize with a smallish white head and decent lacing. Coriander is present but not dominant in aroma. Lemony throughout with a touch of hops at the end. Shows its ale character through resonant fruitiness. SOme peachy/apricot in there as well. A good hot summer quencher.

Tap at Buffalo Wild Wings Chanhassen. Initially served with an orange wedge until I removed it. Hazy gold with short lived head, no lace. The aroma was slightly spiced, but nothing stood out. The flavor was somewhat wheat like, but not anything special. The palate is what I really enjoyed as it was very refreshing and washed down the hot sauce.
