0.8 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 2/20
One of the worst drainpours I’ve ever experienced. Fizzy pour of a liquid that is reminiscent of urine. Fake Tang-like orange aroma. Watery, fake orange flavor. Almost like a alka-seltzer.

355ml bottle pours a slightly cloudy pale golden orange color with a finger of white head that settled quickly and left very little lacing on the glass. Aroma is mild orange zest with hints of banana and coriander spice. Taste is big malty sweetness with the orange zest and coriander and a mild hop bitterness in the finish. Light to medium body with light carbonation. A little below average for the style.

Wow...quite surprising in it’s lack of....everything. Dark golden with little head and lace. The flavor is light orange and malt with no bittering. Very plain and very boring. I hoped for better.

Pours a light cloudy yellow orange with a head that disappears fast. Aroma is very banana. So is the flavor, like a milkshake. Normally, I might say yum, but this is beer. Original, for sure.

Pours a hazy gold. Aroma is sickeningly sweet and wheaty. Taste is much the same. Not impressed.

12oz bottle from Woodmans. Poured into a shaker. Pours a cloudy dark yellow with zero head. Some big chunks of something sank immediately to the bottom. Scent is of wheat and lemon zest. Maybe some orange in there. Taste is medium sweet and lightly bitter. Tastes kind of like a Blue Moon. Medium-light bodied with a thick creamy texture. Soft carbonation and not much finish to speak of. Overall, its not that bad. Loses some points for the random chunks in the bottom which I don’t know what they are yet.

12 ounce bottle from a sampler from Woodman’s West Madison. Pours a hazy peach color with a thin head that fades quickly. Aroma of citrus, pale wheat and a faint coriander spice finish. The taste is citrus, stone fruits, spice. Thin-medium bodied. Decent.

Typical light wheaty Belgian. Supposedly it is a new batch, and I drank it at Baumgartner’s in Monroe, so I know it was fresh. Enjoyable.

12oz in Chicago. Banana ’runts’ candy, for sure. Big artificial sweet banana, wheat. Spritely and warm, pretty off-putting flavor.
