Bottle. Gives the impression that it comes from a micro when its really from those nice suits at Coors. Slightly cloudy and a bit creamy. Some spiciness.Not what I had expected in more ways than one.

Not terribly impressed with this much-overhyped, orange-garnished white ale. Its murky, nebulous appearance foreshadows an odd and bitter taste.

Aroma of orange, with a medium head and golden-yellow appearance. Flavor starts with spice and ends smoothly with a creamy taste and texture. Overall, not the best Belgian White, but a decent domestic version.

One of the most refreshing and enjoyable Belgian white ales I’ve ever had. Served with an orange slice as a perfect compliment, it’s never the same by itself again.

Bottle. Not exactly what I expect from a Belgian white beer. The feel was okay and the mildly spicy finish was decent.

On tap at the Jet Rock Bar at the PHL airport. Cloudy dark yellow colour, no head or lacing. Citrusy aroma, though no yeast, Refreshing carbonated citrus flavour.

(bottle). Pours a light gold color. Small white head. Orange peel aroma. Orange and wheat flavors, with light alcohol. Smooth finish. Moderate carbonation.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a hazy deep gold with a small, pillowy, white head. Citrus and yeast fill the nose. Orange, apricot, honey, and a touch of mustiness are all in the aroma. Medium high carbonation with a medium yet slightly dry mouthfeel. Spice, coriander, a little biscuit, a little hay, a faint sweetness, and a bit of sourness on the palate. The finish is short and clean. A reasonable wit, but not the greatest.
