Pretty good wheat beer. The one reason I like this so much is that it tastes a lot like the cereal fruity pebbles. Weird at first but very refreshing.

Draft at Malt and Vine. This is kind of a deadly little session beer. They’re really not kidding about the oranges thing. Pours cloudy bright medium amber/orange. Dense but shallow moussy tan head. Bright citrusy, orangey nose. Creamy, ever so slightly grainy body. Nice biscuity wheaty flavors underneath a nice lightly spiced wash with sweet citrus up top. Clean, somewhat sweetish finish. This isn’t a super forceful or memorable beer but it sure would be easy to drink a bit of.

Found this beer on tap at some little out of the place country pub that you wouldn’t expect to find it. It came in draft and was a murky yellowish ale with a great citrus smell. It was served with an orange slice that didn’t really do to much for it. It was very refreshing and would be a very good thirst quencher on a hot summer day. Even my wife enjoyed it.

Had this during the summer. Cloud golden color. Fruity, aroma with subtle wheat. Thin head. Lots of flavors, most notable fruit (blueberry) and wheat. Light-bodied and smooth finish. Good without the orange but I prefer it with. A nice change from simpler wheat beers.

A bit of a mixture in flavors between blueberry muffins and Fruity Pebbles cereal. Lots of sweetness, and certainly tasty, but not something I could drink more than one of at a time.

Poured from bottle down the middle of glass just like Leine suggests. Three fingers of head develops but quickly disappears and leaves just a thin layer floating on top. No lacing whatsoever. Pours a dark golden color and murky to the eyes. Smells of fruit (orange, lemon?) and very subtle hop. The taste delivers expected fruitiness and little to no hop bitterness. Its what your expecting, but then again it’s not. It is a beer after all, but it doesn’t taste much like it. Garnished with orange wedge.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy gold with a thin white head. Aroma of wheat and citrus. Flavor is fuity, with some wheat in there too. Good summer beer.

Draft at Toad’s Place. Pours a very cloudy mustard color with minimal white head. Very fruity - oranges, coriander, and cotton candy. Too me, it’s like a lemonade with an orange twist. One friend said it tasted like fruitloops! This is the beer to give to girls who say ’I don’t drink beer’. And any beer that can be used to get girls drinking beer is ok by me.
