Cloudy orange yellow. Wispy, soapy foam that lasts pretty well. Nose is pretty disappointing and only shows light touches of character. Mainly banana notes with hints if corn and husk. As it opens up and warms, it becomes much more palatable. Fairly nice flavor profile, consisting of banana, clove and spice. A respectable, drinkable example.

Sep 16, 2008 Pours a murky dull orange with a minimal white froth. Sweet aroma, very spicy, light esters, light lemon and lots of cloves. First taste is big pink bubblegum, followed by more bubblegum and finishing with bubblegum. Medium/light body, watery with larger sparkling carbonation. Bubblegum finish with some bitterness. An ok beer but pretty uninteresting.

Aug 22, 2008 Decent, cloudy appearance. Has a mild, estery aroma with a clove, banana mix. Finishes a bit on the thin side. Not a bad example of style, but not as good as the German examples. Still, an ok beer.

Aug 16, 2008 Ok, the rating was low, but the beer is fairly good. I had this on tap and it was nice and cloudy. They put a lemon in it, and it was pretty good. I was inspired to buy a six pak, and drank them all with no problem. Can’t stack up to the Germans, but all in all, this is not bad. I will buy it again. The thing about it is that the German beers are so uniform they actually get boring. This gives the style a little something different, not real great, but different.

Jul 30, 2008 Really surprised by this one, basically went into this without any knowledge of the beer. Good aroma of orange and pine with hints of other citruses. Appearance is a nice cloudy pale gold orange, with a small off white head that fades quickly. Flavor is orange, hops and pine with hints of other citrus and malt. Goes down smooth and finishes, hmmm, just slightly bitter. Overall, impressed and refreshed.

Jul 17, 2008 A nice cloudy golden appearance in the glass, a swirling, murky mist. Aroma was faint but perhaps a hint of citrus fruit. The flavor was smooth and refreshing, but quite ho-hum. It did finish clean, but never really struck a chord with me. A really nice summer beer that shouldn’t be turned down, but don’t expect to be blown away. Cheers.
