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.

Bottle. Clear golden with a fluffy white head. Wheat bread, citrus, and honey aroma and taste with a nice crispness and a bready finish.

12 ounce bottle into weizen glass, bottled 6/14/2011. A bit too old but lets give it a shot. Pours to instant head after a loud release of carbonation upon opening(no gusher though). Eventually turns out to be a hazy and cloudy deep orange color with a dense and fluffy 2-3 finger off white head with great retention that reduces to a thick cap that lingers. Some slight bits of lacing cling to the glass. The yeast seems to have clumped up and is floating around in the glass like bits of ground pepper. Aromas of orange peel, lemon, coriander, light pepper, bread, and not much else. Pretty weak aromas without much complexity; but not offensive. Taste of orange peel, pepper, coriander, wheat, spicy yeast, and breadiness. Some lingering notes of bread, wheat, orange, and spiciness on the finish for a bit. Medium body and carbonation; with a bit of a creamy mouthfeel that drinks very smoothly. Alcohol is well hidden with only a slight warming after the finish. Other than the grainy appearance and weak aromas; this was pretty solid stuff. Good balance of flavors and easy drinking.

Had this beer to long ago, just transferring from a app I was using to rate beer. As I drink these again I will add a better review.

12 ounce bottle. Pours a cloudy orange amber with a decent off-white head. Aroma of wheat, malt and citrus. Taste is sweet wheat, citrus, malt and spices. Smooth and drinkable.

Bottle from craft beer outlet. Pours a golden amber, and tastes of citrus and some sweetness. Nothing special.

Can. Hazy fairly bright orange with a thin white head. Sugar, booze, some nail polish, some grain and citrus (mostly lemon and grapefruit). Sweet, tangy from the grapefruit, low carbonation, average body, bit of tang towards the end with a hint of bitterness and somewhat dry. On the finish you get a nice dose of bitterness and dryness along with more citrus - odd that it seems like the beer is done and then it hits you with a dose of something tasty. Have to say without that last does it wouldn’t be that good, as it is average but maybe worth trying.

Very sweet and lively on the palate, reminded me of champagne almost. Good appearance and pleasing aroma, a dry beer with hints of citrus.

Pours lighter amber with a white head. Aroma is citrus, wheat and grass. Taste was sweet with some citrus tart on the finish.
