On draught at Alpine. Pours a clear dark golden color with a white head. Aroma is light citrus and cracker. Taste is sweet and bitter on the end. Slick with some bitterness adding aggressiveness on the end. Not bad at all.

Draft @ the brewery. Pours a pale amber color with a small off-white head. Has a fruity weak citrus mandarin aroma. Fruity malty mandarin flavor. Has a fruity malty mandarin finish.

bottle. pours orange with white head. aroma of wheat and orange zest. taste is very fruity lots of orange and wheat comes in big, almost chewy bread

Very subtle orange and honey flavor, very light, slightly sweet, a great drink ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle. Pours a light amber-orange. Subtle aroma of sweet mandarin orange with some floral notes (orange blossom and jasmine). Odd taste of sweet forward (probably from the orange blossom honey) followed by a flavor almost like an IPA that has lost all hop characteristics. Light, crisp body. 

Pours light orange with a few floaters. Very light and refreshing with a sweet honey finish. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Tap. Pours clear medium amber with a large off-white head that leaves decent lacing. Aroma is honey, grain, coriander. Flavor is medium plus sweet with some light orange-rind bitterness on the finish.

pour is transparent golden orange with a creamy white head and some large bubbles. Nose is heavy pilsner grain, lightly toasted, with light notes of citric orange and a honey tinge underneath. Taste is more balanced, the honey gives it a creamy body and adds gently to the toasted grain. Also some caramel malt notes, sweet but well attenuated, with citrus notes and a bit of herbal hops. Very interesting beer, nicely balanced and well done.

Poured on tap from Alpine in glass dark orange color. Aroma of orange and fruits. nice fruity taste. okay beer.
