| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 13, 2009 22 oz. bottle shared by Tmoney99. Pours a slightly hazy dark golden color with a medium sized disappearing white head. The aroma is orange infused wheat bread slightly toasted with a slight splash of honey. The flavor was more wheat bread, orange citrus, slightly sweet and on the dry side with light bitterness. Very drinkable on a warmer day I would imagine. Medium bodied and smooth.
