A little over carbonated and too much orange/blueberry taste for me. Decent but nothing great.

More of a novelty drink than a regular beer. American wheat with coriander and blueberry. Some lemon tartness, but really smooth and soft. Its not something I would want to drink more than one or two, but its not awful. Little to no hops that I could detect. Clean and refreshing and fairly pleasant, but not what I want in a beer. Total Wine.

Pours cloudy orange with lingering white head. Aroma of yeast, wheat, lemon and orange. Flavor is strong wheat upfront but finishes nicely with orange and lemon. Bit of a mild lemon zest and orange rhine aftertaste. Will be one of my top summer brews.

Draft. Aroma: Wheat, orange, cloves, and a fairly heavy sugary aroma. Smells very medicinal. Appearance: Looked almost like a cloudy orange juice. White head was full and foamy with good retention. No lacing. Flavor: Orange, clove, wheat, light yeastiness, and a syrupy sweetness that is just gross. Again, it tastes very medicinal. Like orange cough syrup. Gross. Palate: Medium-light bodied. Medium carbonation. Overall: Really disliked this one. Just gross.

Draft: Poured a golden color with a white head. The aroma was lemons. The flavor was lots of lemons, like lemon tart. Overall, not much to this beer. It was just OK

This was surprisingly enjoyable. It came cloudy orange with a red tint and a slight white head. Smells of citrus, lemon/orange peel. The taste is like Trix cereal, biscuity with a candy-like orange flavor. Very refreshing. Weighs nicely on the tongue and feels great in the mouth. This would be perfect for a sunny day out on the porch.

Pour a hazy, somewhat murky gold with an open white head, quickly diminishing but leaving a very nice lacing. Very pleasant lemondrop candy aroma, but in the mouth the impression is blueberries on top of some oatmeal. Citrus aftertaste. Thin to medium body. By the end of the glass, the blueberry is a bit cloying.

Bottle, Cloudy but no yeast sediment, faux citrus flavor, reminds me of lemon pledge, too sweet.
