Orange Cloud resembling the planet of venus. Fruity Pebble like smell with a hint of pride. A surprisingly tasty beer and not too much fruity flavor. Nice hit on the palate. Enjoyable wheat.

What can i say i found a beer that taste like fruity pebbles. Pours a cloudy pale yellow/amber like a wheat ale should with a white head, and the smell of a sour orange.

Poured from bottle into glass. hazy gold/orange with full head. Great citrus smell and great taste that goes down smooth with a crisp tart aftertaste. Most beers I must enjoy on tap but this beer is just as good right out of the bottle.

This beer was pretty good on draft at the Brix. Very strong and unique aroma of fruity pebbles. Citrus flavored taste. Not watery at all. Very drinkable and refreshing.

First had this at Shucker’s in Baltimore during my recent trip to see the Red Sox play the Orioles. Girlfriend ordered it while i ordered the Fordham. I enjoyed the several sips of this beer, and the aroma and taste of orange and corriander spice was a welcomed surprise to the long hot day. Would imagine it would go nice with a burger during a good summer cookout. I would reccomend to drinkers that like to try different beer flavors/aromas. it’s a hard one to say you won’t like or you will like, since evryone has different tastes. Mine was served in your standard bar shaker/pint glass. I would advise ’leading’ with your tongue tip to get the full flavor of this beverage.

A favorite of mine; good for those who love the combination of citrus and wheat. Still my favorite normal/everyday drinking kind of beer.

After drinking a lot of fruity wheat beers lately, this was my first taste of a "normal" beer in a couple of months. Though I’ve enjoyed the fruity beers, it was nice to have a "real" beer again. It had a nice easy smell, nothing bitter. The taste was great. After all the fruity beers of late, I expected a normal beer to taste slightly bitter, but due to the wheat, it was really smooth, almost sweet without even a hint of bitter in the aftertaste. It felt great in the mouth. It didn’t seem highly carbonated like all the fruit beers I’ve had lately, but it was very refreshing all at the same time; giving my mouth an almost "clean" feel. This was a beer I could have easily knocked back a few more of before calling it a night. It had a gentle sweetness, but not like the fruity beers that leave you a bit overwhelmed after just one. Each drink made you look forward to the next one.
