One of my father’s favorites so I gave it a try. Nice orange color and crisp feel. Has a nice clean smell with hints of citrus. Goes good with an orange slice. While I liked the taste and the look of it, I found it less smooth to drink and quite filling. I was rather bloaty after just one. I got rather uncomfortable after 2 and I dont know if this is just me, but I couldnt see myself drinking it on a night out as I looked borderline pregnant after the two I had.

Bottle. Hazy apricot pour, medium carbonation with an orange aroma. Flavor was creamy orange, peach, and finshes with some pleasant bitterness. Good beer and a nice everyday summer brew

Who hasn’t tried this beer? This is the one of the only white ales found in every bar/liquor store. Heavy carbonated with a citrus taste. Nice mouth feel just mass produced and you can taste it. I recommend you mix it with a shot of chambord it make it much more manageable.

Bottle. Average fizzy white head that mostly diminished. Spare display of lacework. Cloudy golden color. Aroma of yeast, mild spice, wheat, mild banana like, fruity, citrus. Quite tasty actually. Light to medium bodied with an average carbonation. Light sweet flavor with a hint of acidic. Light citrus like finish.

Taste of coriander and citrus. Little head to know head. Goes down real smooth with a mostly light mouthfeel. For the price it is not that bad.

The orange aroma is pleasant. But its flavor is just okay. If this beer is not extremely cold it goes down hill fast!

Bottle. Pours a cloudy golden color with a medium sized white head. Aroma of citrus, wheat, and a hint of spice. Flavor is of sweet wheat, and citrus. Not bad... I seem to remember it being better, but I don’t really know if anything has changed.

Pours a blended orange-yellow with standard white head. Aroma of orange and a bit of male. Hints of blueberry muffins, lemon, and orange. Just because it’s made by MillerCoors doesn’t mean it’s bad, Rather good brew.
