Orange color with a white head. This beer had an almost citrusy smell and taste. There was a drinkability similar to iced tea I was really impressed with this beer. It would definitely hit the spot on a hot day.

Pours hazy blonde/golden, thick white head. Aroma is just filled with fruits. I am not getting muhc of anyting natural in the flavor, and instead get too much added flavors. The aroma is overloaded with citrus / orange peel and wheat, it becomes borderline soda. Taste is about the same, with some added coriander, the whole mix give it a fruity taste close to grapefruit. Too much of a ’soda’ orange like taste with hints of hops in the background. Drinkable, but not natural enough for my tastes.

Pours a nice orange color with a quickly diminishing white head. Very heavy on the carbonation. Aroma of citrus, wheat, and Fruity Pebbles. Taste is big on sweet fruit with wheat behind it. Very light mouthfeel makes this one easy to drink. Simply a light beer for a hot day. Drinking it in November doesn’t give you the same effect.

Bottle: Light easy drinking beer. Nice natural orange flavor to the beer. Like having a Blue Moon without the wedge. Overall enjoyable.

Brewed in the USA !!! (KSBF) Pours a hazy yellow color with a dissipating white head. Aroma is of fruits (citrus)with a malted wheat taste. Not bad, average wheat beer.

Not very palatable. I wasn’t a fan of the weird wheaty-&-Fruity-Pebbles combination. I’d rather go with a Blue Moon.

Draught, Mellow Mushroom. Clouded muddy brown-yellow sewage color. No head but does leave some lace. Super fruity aroma. Apricot, lime soda, and blueberry. Spritzy mouthfeel is decent, slightly sticky. Very sweet. Clean Lots of fruit in the body like a fruit cocktail, sweetened from the can. Drenched peaches, pears, apricot. Enough blueberry to make me wonder if the tap had been used previously for a blueberry beer, which they do have here so it is possible. Clean grain finish.

Opaque tan. Spicy, brash nose - not refined but full of spice, orange. Creamy with orange and pear. Sweet and sour, like a candy. Quenching, wheat note in the finish.
