I remember drinking this for the first time about 2001 with a big slice of orange when it was delicious and not corporate and overly popular. It pours a perfectly cloudy golden yellow color with a nice white head on top. It is an easy drinking simple wheat. It truly tastes much better with a slice of orange to bring out some of the flavors that the brewer intended to taste but don’t shine through as well.

I can’t believe I used to like this! Ugh...this stuff is awful! Pours somewhat cloudy with great chunks floating. Very little head formation and no retention. Tastes of light fruit and there’s some awful taste in this as well. I could barely choke this down. Luckily, there’s no finish to speak of.

Never quite understood the niche this beer has garnered. Any beer that needs to be hussied up with fruit isn’t worth drinking. And trust me, it needs every bit of that orange juice to choke it down. Virtually flavorless on it’s own. Maybe the best Coors has to offer, but what is that really saying?

bottle. Poured hazy orange-yellow with fading white head. Strong fruity orange aroma. Light creamy mouthfeel. Light citrus, yeasty flavour. Slight dry finished.

Paired with and without an orange slice. Yellowish - light orange colored beer. Wheat beer, more filling. Unfiltered, cloudy beer. Slight citrus smell. Spicy taste. Well balanced. Better on draft. A great beer!

Bottled - Aroma is orange. Had a few bottles with and without an orange peel in the bottle neck. Couldn’t really distinguish too much difference with it in, due to orange taste already. Cloudy and with a nice lacing head (especially when orange is added) Overall easy drinkabilty and great taste! Well crafted beer! ----- Now after having it on tap I have to give it a better rating! This stuff is amazing! I just love the orange crispness!

Cloudy yellowish color beer with good earthy grain and slight hop aroma. Very drinkable even in wamer weather. Has a clean finish with a coriander and orange peel flavor.
