3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
bottle: I always appreciate a new take on a beer, even if it falls a little short like this one. Pours pretty dark orange, murky red. Some yeasties floating and a white head. Arouma is yeasty, but not belgian such as I’m familiar with for a wit beer. Nice caramel malt profile and citrus, orange soda-like backed by some malts. Carbonation tickles the back of the throat.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
The aroma is mild summit (tangerine) hops mixed with a dry, bready malt. Nice enough.
Heavy colored orange. Thin head. Lots of carbonation.
A flavor of tangy, slightly sour wheat malt. Akin to a lambic. Sweet blood orange balance. The sourness is unusual, but it works.
Very dry and bubbly palate, like a white wine. Uncommonly sour but dry. The hops are sweet and sour. A very nice, mainstream crossover beer.

Feb. 2, 2010; 12 oz. bottle from sampler pack. In a word: sour . . . smelling & tasting. Maybe I got a bad one here . . . there are two more left in what’s otherwise been a tasty mix of hoppy ales from Arcadia; will re-rate if warranted.

2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Tea-amber with a fizzy white head. Nose of soap, wheat, and orange. The flavor is sweeter with more orange and an earthy grain note. While refreshing, this is rather simple and nearing Blue Moon territories.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 9/20
Pours a hazy orange with a white head. Aroma is wheat, malt, and citrus. Flavor is sweet, lemony, with a tart finish.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Has a golden orange pour with a white to off-white head, looks pretty clear with a touch of haze,
aromas of orange fruit, such as the inside of an orange skin (pith?), faint honey sweetness with malt and a smidgen of flowers,
orange flavor with toasted malt, has a citrus crisp bitterness at the finish, there is a faint lingering sweetness after the finish,
less than medium mouth feel, a good Summer drink.
