ealdent (44), Alpharetta, Georgia, USA Aug 21, 2007 I was immediately struck by a similarity to Flintstones vitamins. It was so intense I exclaimed. This beer was really atrocious. On the up side, it didn’t linger very long on the palate. This is a drain pour.
brokephibroke (137), Mead, Colorado, USA Nov 5, 2009 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. tnkw01 (127), USA Nov 5, 2009 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. ROGUE (621), Newark, Delaware, USA Nov 5, 2009 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. iggynelix (12), Pennsylvania, USA Nov 3, 2009 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. zdk (188), New York, USA Nov 1, 2009 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. cwondo (21), Rochester, Michigan, USA Oct 15, 2009 Bottle. I tried this once before rating it, and was skewed by hearing it called the fruity pebble beer, so I waited a few days to get that idea out of my head before rating. Pours a cloudy bright yellow with a frothy head. the aroma was very fruity and sugary. Citrus. Did actually resemble fruity pebbles, but the flavor did not. Tasted citrus and berries, almost too sweet (I’m used to IPA’s). Don’t know if this is normal, but I got a definite aftertaste of black licorice. Palate was thin with high carbonation. shalloWMeans (160), Independence, Kentucky, USA Oct 12, 2009 Pours a delicate gold to sunny orange, hazy, cloudy, but bright with lively carbonation and a rocky, frothy head that forms atop, rather large, which leaves attractive lacing in it’s wake. The aroma is fresh and fruity, with strong wheat and juicy citrus. Bubblegum, orange peel, pineapple, and a phenolic yeastiness form the customary "fruity pebble" aroma that is so often associated with this brew. (I also find that is closely resembles Hawaiin Punch...) The taste is very sweet, with no dryness or hop bitterness in sight. Nonetheless, it is full of juicy orange peel, banana, and tropical fruit, with a decent soft, oily mouthfeel and not as thin as expected. Overall, not complex, but tasty, fresh and thirst-quenching. A great outdoor summer beer for all it’s worth, (and the ideal beer for ca-brew-ing) and a decent beginner introduction to wheat beer. Solid. Best feature: Aroma derekbrown (17), Greenville, North Carolina, USA Oct 5, 2009 Very flavorful and fruity. I’m not usually a fruity type of guy but it is very nice and relaxing to drink. A little too cloudy in the body.
