Pale golden colour with a white head. The nose is very nice and perfumey with hints of citrus, spice and peach. The body was a little thin, some wheaty hints with a little bit of basil and mint in the finish. A nice refresher from this brewery I think.

My roommate brought a case of these home, so I had to steal one. Sweet and citrusy smell. Taste very similair to the auroma. Doubt I could drink a lot of thse because of the taste, but one is good.

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

Aroma, I swear, is of anise. Maybe with a bit of orange. Hazy orange tinged gold color with a white head that ringed with tatters of lace. Medium bodied. Moderate carbonation. Orange citrus flavor, orange oil, but I still think there’s some anise. I don’t know what happened to the hops, but the bitter seems to come from orange oil. A pretty dry finish, and that anise note persists. If that’s what it is. Pretty amazing. New to me.

Hazy, lemony yellow-gold, great label. Blueberry/citrus wit aroma. Doughy, blueberry and tangerine flavor with muted black pepper. Watery body, tangy finish with more fruit. Medium sweetness, not very bitter. Winking Lizard, Cleveland on a very snowy night.

Lightly hazy golden orange with a full, white head. The aroms is sweet and fruity with blueberries, wheat, orange juice, coriander, baked bread and a potpouri/lotion type fragrance. The body is thin and light, probably exactly what you’d look for in the style. The flavor is fairly good, at least at first. The sweet fruit and mild spice is interesting, but slowly starts to grow a little annoying. A surprisingly enjoyable beer. Thanks Brian.

Pours hazy yellow with pillowy white head that goes away quickly. Aroma is strong lemony citrus - slight wheat under it, but the citrus is strong. This doesn’t even taste like beer - lots of citrus upfront, mainly lemon, but some orange aspects as well. Finish has the citrus and a bit of a blueberry taste. Not what I was expecting at all. Further down the glass a bit of spice becomes apparent on the finish. Very crisp and refeshing - great summer beer.
