Very strong fruity taste to it, tastes exactly like Fruity Pebbles. I can see how many wouldn’t like this, as it is very sweet and unusual. Very light and easy to drink, delicious.

Wow. Truly something new for me. Big burst of orange in the aroma. I mean its unmistakable like if it were a glass of orange juice. Taste is the same. So easy to drink. I am absolutely loving this brew.

bottled, poured nice cloudy yellow with white head, wonderful wheat/citrus aroma with ???berries???, flavor is WONDERFUL with full citrus punch to the mouth and lingering fruit (why berries?) and nice light tones of wheat that’s very refreshing, great beer...probably too fruity for some as a wheat.

<i>Draught at Detroit airport.</i> loudy amber with a trace of white head; unexpected aroma of berry fruits and the more usual wheat; sweet to start with strawberry, orange and other fruit flavours, then a short bitter burst and a dry floury finish. Different and rather pleasant.

(Sampled at Tap Room on September 20, 2008) Smells sweet, tart, almost like blueberries. Citrus. Corriander for sure. Its color is relatively thin looking, but clouded with god knows what. Its taste is watery at first, and as I laugh at Ana saying, "It’s terrible, it’s alright, it’s cheap," I taste its sweet and tart and way too blueberry flavor. Almost offensive. This reminds me of black licorice... not the good kind, but the kind you want to throw away from your Halloween basket. Summed up, they tried too hard and overdid it. Brewing, in my opinion, is an art, not a freak show.
