Draught at Papago Brewing Co., Scottsdale, AZ
Golden color. Light aroma and flavor of cookies; the mouthfeel is weak and dry; it has a light final touch of citrus fruits, tangerine. Original, but nothing special.

Cloudy golden body with white head. Aroma is medium sweet, mandarin, corn syrup. Taste is medium sweet, mandarin, some bread. Watery light body with a bit of stickiness. Derscribed as a citrus-infused hefeweizen, but I found no hefe characterstics in this.

On draught at the Papago Brewing Company tavern in Phoenix, AZ. Pours a hazy golden pale blonde brew with a fast dissolving white head that dissipates clean. Aroma of light wheat bready malt, some flowery hops and a distinct character of a creamy orange dreamsickle. Taste is light to medium bodied, light carbonation with flavors of wheat, some yeast and a orange cream soda character. Finish is semi-sweet, smooth, creamy with a orange dreamsickle aftertaste.

Draught at Papago Brewing Company. Hazy orange-yellow color with no lace. Pleasant aroma of rose hips and orange. Similar to the wheat wine, this one tastes similar to cream soda with vanilla, caramel, and orange notes. Strange, but decent.

Draught @ Papago The beer from the tap is slightly bemused golden amber with a tall frothy head that is off white in color and the texture semi-creamy, the resultant lace a thick and clingy sheet upon the glass. Nose has a light hint of orange peal, brisk and clean, also a tad earthy start is sweet with a light grain profile and the top light in feel. Finish is light in acidity, the hops pleasant and the orange like sweetness lingers long, a great summer beer, that when well today in the desert heat.

Peal an orange and this is your aroma. Cloudy orange body with big hefe head and some lacing. Flavor was just a bit watery orange. Also got an orange peal somewhat dry aftertaste in the end. Nonetheless a decent beer on 107 degree day.

This beer sits a hazy orange-amber color with a frothy, pale, off-white head. The aroma is all sweet mandarin orange, nothing else is perceptible. Having said that it is actually not so strong that it is off-putting.

The taste is lightly sweet; just enough to accentuate the sweet orange flavor, but not make it too cloying. This has a fullness that I was not expecting, not so much that this beer is not quaffable, because it is, quite. The combination of orange, sweetness and mouth-coating light fullness make this quite quaffable. The drawback to this is that it is a bit too one dimensional, despite the drinkability.
