Sep 23, 2007 Pours a thick unfiltered orange with a lasting foamy head. Aroma is very spicy and pleasant. Taste is of wheat, orange, apple, banana and coriander. 9% was well hidden. Very enjoyable overall.

Sep 22, 2007 12 oz bottle - pours a slightly hazy dark yellow color with small fluffy white head. Aroma is full of honey, coriander, white pepper, faint bananna, vanilla. Flavor has lightly kilned malts, coriander, bananna, pear, apple, faint citrusy hops, with a moderately sweet and slightly spicey finish. Very nice overall. Does spice well, definitely present, but not overwhelming, IMO.

Sep 22, 2007 12 oz bottle. Hazy gold with a tight white head. Nose has lots of wheat, orange and coriander. Spicy flavor, clove and coriander, solid wheatiness. Light banana notes. Finishes a bit warm (not quite a burn). Solid brew.

Sep 22, 2007 Thick orange body, cloudy, hazy. Love the look of it and the pour. I’m a hops guy, so the cloying sweet thickness of this one takes a bit of geting used to. This is no lightweight, this is a substantial brew. Thick, sweet, flavorful. I can drink maybe one or two at a sitting. Good stuff. I want to keep some handy for when I’m in the mood for a big sippin beer.

Sep 21, 2007 Pours like Sunkist, with a sunny orange body, lots of spiraling carbonation and a big ole’ fizzy head that instantly dissipates. Coriander and alcoholic heat are immediately apparent in the nose. A deep whiff presents notes of dirty yeast characters. Little carbonation in the body leaves this with a muddled mouthfeel. Lots of sweet orange, hay, vanilla and coriander are lumped together and too sweet. Finishes with a dry sweetness - almost artificial tasting. Kind of a mess of flavors here. I love a delicate, well defined witbier and this is anything but that. Hmmm, this is a bust for me.

Sep 21, 2007 orange haze with a nice head. sweet inviting aroma. spicey flavor with a smooth yeast mouthfeel. alcohol is non existant to me. could easily put down a few. would like to see this as a regular though rather than a special brew.

Sep 21, 2007 Bright cloudy yellow/gold in color with white head. Crisp taste, with very obvious coriander and orange peel. Finished very clean and left me wanting the next sip. No unpleasant factors, but also didn’t quite wow me like some other Bell’s beers have.

Sep 20, 2007 Bottle, with Thanks to Mike (BBB63) for this most excellent bonus! Pours a cloudy golden with a moderate yellow tinted white head, slight lacing. Not surprisingly the aroma is coriander and orange peel, as is the flavor, with some warmth coming in late. Seems to be a good example of the style, and the alcohol is well hidden, but generally a bit uninspiring. Not bad, but not something to get overly excited about...
