Hazy brown/orange, short white head, nice lacing. Aroma is fruity, spices - some nutmeg, which I don’t care for. Body is not very thick, but a nice amount of flavor - wheaty tang, orange juice, spices, an almost ginger bite. Not one of my favorites, but it is refreshing on a hot summer day.

On Tap in the USA. A poor try at a Hefe. This stuff is some of the Ice Cream Palor flavored brewery stuff I try to avoid. Lots of added flavors that unbalance to entire experaince

Do not approach this beer with an aggressive stance. It is intended to be consumed as a summer beer, for certain. Incredibly smooth and easy to drink, but you have to be a fan of fruit flavor, as the orange slice seals the deal and makes this beer truly outstanding.

Cloudy orange with a thick white head. Slight spice - maybe pepper/clove aroma. Moderately dry and somewhat thin. An excellent summer beer for cooling down.

Bottle. Cloudy apricot pour. Not too much to rate in terms of nose, palate or taste. OK to drink on a humid day or if you are a little drunk.

Bottle. OK. Great summer type beer, even though had it in the fall. Reminds me of a good hefeweiss. A bit too cloudy in apperance but still has a great flavor and aroma. Would drink again. Recommend it.

12oz bottle. Pours a hazy pale orange with a short fizzy head that fades away quickly. The aroma is citrus juice and corriander. Taste is wheaty up front, followed by orange peel and corriander. Finishes with mild dry bitterness. Flavor is a little too fruity.

If you don’t like fruity beer, stay away from this. However, it’s my summer deck beverage of choice. Strong floral and citrus aroma, but not overly acidic or sweet like a lambic. This is a wheat-beer, so it’s got the yeasty unfilteredness, but still goes down crisp in the hot sun.

very sweet beer, but not bad. Citrus in the nose, and very much like other wheat ales... just sweeter. Not much else to say about it.
