A pleasant surprise. I was piqued by the citrusy sweetness in this. Could well turn into my staple summer beer this year.

Pours a cloudy, yeasty, pale yellow with a decent white head that coats the glass somewhat. Has a Bazooka bubblegum aroma. Spicy coriander taste with an artificial fruitiness along with some minor hop bitterness. Interesting. Not bad at all, yet not worth seeking out.

The 12 ounce bottle poured a cloudy golden colored beverage with an average sized creamy head that was mostly lasting and left good lacing on the glass. The aroma was quite remarkable, very different, and frankly it surprised me. There was the distinct presence of citrus and coriander and an interesting sweet spiciness. There didn’t seem to be much if any malt or wheat in the aroma. The beer had a medium body with soft carbonation and a watery refreshing texture. The flavor starts off slightly sweet with little or no hop bitterness. The finish is fairly long and the sweet spiciness lasts throughout.

I will say that I have enjoyed this in the past on tap in Northern Wisconsin. This however, before I found good beers. I will say that although the aroma is lacking, the coriander adds a nice touch to the beer. However, after a while it tastes pretty much like liquid Froot Loops...

This beer was OK. Very strong and unique aroma of fruity pebbles. Citrus flavored taste. Not watery at all. Too sweet and not very drinkable overall.

Hazy golden glow,minimal head. Citrus/orange peel aroma and taste. Light on the wheat with a hint of perfume. Definite carbonation. Makes ya belch for sure.Good summer beer and one of the better ones by them I’ve had. The more I drink this beer the better I like it. Just can’t drink more than a few.
