suprised by this one, was expecting the same old macro version of a wheat. heavy citrus made it an enjoyable summer beer.

Draft at Jupiter’s in Champaign, IL . Pours golden with a white head. Aroma of orange and wheat malt. Flavor of orange, pale wheat malt, and berries. This could use a little more hops to bring it in balance, but a decent summer wheat if you like sweeter fruity beers.

It’s a real fruity beer. Get it real cold and this is a good beer to have with breakfast. It tastes like Fruity Pebbles and that’s what I’d drink it with. It doesn’t need to be so fruity, but I still like it.

Hazy grapefruit juice colored pour on draft with no head. Smell is like a cross of fruity pebbles, orange slice candy, and sweet tarts, yet somehow I like it. Taste is a mild, blandish fruity, candy like, with a big orange flavor and a light wheaty taste in the finish. Definitely unique, and somehow I like it, against my better judgement.

12 oz bottle, amber unfiltered cloudy body with an off white head. Aroma of citrus and spice. Distinct flavors of oranges, cloves, allspice and bananas, clean palate, refreshing finish. Definitely has the character of a fruit beer. Re-rate note: having working my way thru a sixer I am discovering that I have acquired a taste for this unusual concoction. Points raised from 2.7 to 3.2.

Nice and refreshing for a hot summer day. Has a very fruity taste, so if you are looking for a hoppy beer, this is not it. This would make a great starter beer for those new to the experience.

Bottle: Pours a golden yellow/orange with slight off white head. Aroma is pleasing, oranges and wheat. Sweet taste, wheaty and orangey, a little watered down. I’ve had it on tap as well and must say it is much better than bottled. An orange or a lemon compliments the flavor well, but it’s not a complete necessity. Nice warm weather brew. It really does smell and taste a bit like "Fruity Pebbles" cereal, I like it and think it’s a decent beer for $5 a sixer.
