Jul 3, 2009 This beer is nice combination of spice and fruit. You really can taste the orange especially with one in the beer, but there is still a nice spice component.
Its very a nice looking orange brown color with a great white head.

does not count  Jun 25, 2009 Fruity aroma with some spice, and the flavor follows appropriately, the orange inherent in the brew wasn’t too obvious for me, but was present, and the coriander supplied a pleasant spicy finish. Something a little different, definitely worth a look.

Jun 24, 2009 Some people are overrating this beer, n00bs!!! This is not an easy category, and this beer does not fair well. Pour is a darker amber than one would expect, although the haze is right on. Leaves a respectable head depending on the speed of pour, leaving moderate but wet lacing. The orange and light citrus is available in the aroma, but there is definitely some skunkiness that screams MMAACCRROO!!! Great with a burger, or another aggressive meal that does not require a more fragile, complex beer. This is a "one glass a night" beer, I don’t know anyone who drinks it marathon style.

Jun 22, 2009 Nice fruity flavor and aroma. Goes down smooth with creamy texture. Good with a slice of orange in it.

Jun 19, 2009 1 pt glass on tap at Red Lobster. A cloudy yellow pour with a small white head. The aroma was fairly muted as this was served way to cold. There was just a hint of spice in the nose. The taste was citrus with cardamom and yeast. The mouthfeel was light and malty. The finish was short with a chemical aftertaste. Overall: initially this went down pretty good, it paired especially well with the blackened snapper, but as I finished the dinner it just became tedious.

Jun 14, 2009 Not bad for a mass produced Witbier. I usually get one if it’s the only "craft" beer at the restaurant, or if it’s on special on tap.

Jun 14, 2009 Classic Metamucil look. Good ammount of sand grain sized sediment, a crazy ammount of carbonation and a white rocky head that produces some slippery lacing. Aroma is mild but is not bad aside from the hint of skunk very early on. The wheat and banana (mild) are softly blended and there is also some cirtus - most definetly orange - and acutally there is more citrus fruits than banana - way more (this evovles during tasting). On occasion I can notice a really dry, dusty wheat aroma. The citrus and banana are good together - I’m glad not to get a face full of that banana chip reek. Also spice is to be found - not sure what it is, but it’s not harsh or pungent. It’s a good spin and I really like it. Taste is quite plesant and highly drinkable. Mild again. Wheat, yeast and a touch of fruit (maybe even some pinapple notes tossed in the mix) . Not much to say as it’s pretty straight forward. Mouthfeel is average, just above light bodied, slight drying quality in the middle, touch of sourness sometimes. Got a tasty spicy blob of sediment/mush too. Definetly overcarbonated. Nothing too interesting here, but it sure beats getting an over-the-top bananafest.
