Pours a light hazy gold with a great big white head. Aroma is orange, dry cereal. Not getting any spice in the aroma. Just like the description states..... The soothing taste will leave you speechless. Ummm..............................................

Tastes and smells just like Fruity Pebbles cereal. Very easy to drink, tastes very much like fake orange. Better on tap

Bottle. A very strange beer. Strong fruit like peach aroma almost like a fuzzy navel. I think if I had been blindfolded I might not have guessed that it was a beer. Tasted more like a wine cooler. All the same it was at least drinkable as a beverage, although not a good beer.

A good Basic Wheat. spicey hints with a bit of Orange that lingers pretty refreashing.

An excellent ripe melon treat for a 90+ humid day matched only by the company of a new friend and a convertable ride. Light texture makes a refreshing drink with citrus overtones but nothing of wheat?? Smooth finish.

Had on tap at a beer tent at the recent music fest in Bethlehem, PA. Pours a cloudy amber-orange color producing a thin, small bubbled white head. Nose is fruity sweet with huge notes of orange juice, vanilla cream, crushed berries, perfume and ground wheat. Very different and unique aroma profile here for sure. Mouthfeel was smooth and refreshing but slightly thin and watery as you swallow. Taste very similar to the aromas but not as distractingly perfumey. Refreshingly sweet creamsicle, fresh squeezed orange juice, blueberry, heavy cream and some coriander and pepper come through. Finish is a bit thin and quick but a nice thirst quencher on a hot day.

Cloudy pale-blonde with an egg-white head. Sweet, fruity, lemon aromas. Fizzy orange flavor with hints of clove blends with the fruity citrus aftertaste. Banana and doughy notes emerge as it warms as well as what tastes like artificial blueberry pancakes. Pretty refreshing and tasty even if it’s a bit sweet.

A tasty brew with apricot and blueberries in the forefront. Yeah, blueberries. Who’da thunk? There’s little more to speak of other than that, yet I still believe this is slightly underrated. Would have again if the opportunity presented itself and I’m in the mood for a light ale.
