This is a very cloudy golden beer. It’s got a level of sweetness to it and very spicy - I can’t tell if that’s nutmeg or what in there, but it’s got the citrus notes to it. Meh.

Pours cloudy amber wtih a small white head. Aroma is orange, light malt and light grass. Flavour is orange, malt, light flower and light grass.

Citrus nose; satumas and a slight spicy note in the taste, a hint of hoppiness in the fairly thin finish; a pleasant creamy mouthfeel; an alright beer for the style but not on my re-buy list.

Pretty much what everyone else has said - a bit of spice and wheat, a bit watered down, but not bad for a macro version of the witbier style. I had this early in my beer days and remember it being much more interesting than the common pale lagers I was drinking at the time. Still, compare this to Hoegaarden, and you’ll realize it’s an average "transition beer" at best.

(bottle) Cloudy amber, no head. Citrus with slight ester aroma. Med body and medium carbonation. Flavour is sweet and citrus with some interesting yeast and spice notes. Overall a reasonable mainstrwam brewery version of a non mainstream style, but will disappoint those looking for the real thing.

This beer tastes as murky as it looks. Not only is it cloyingly sweet, the sweetness is more reminiscent of HFCS than a nice caramel or bready malt. Although the style calls for a spicy, yeasty taste, I still feel the flavor is unclean, as if it were immature. For those that homebrew, it’s like trying beer straight from primary on day 2. Beyond that, it lacks any noble/euro hops flavor/aroma. It might have coriander but it certainly isn’t fresh. TANG-like orange aroma permeates the senses. I don’t want to sound harsh, but even if you’re in a mood to drink this beer it doesn’t settle very well.

Pours a cloudy orange with white head that quickly dissipates. Medium body with orange aroma and taste. Good with or without the traditional orange slice

A decent wheat beer with orange flavours and a bit of spice adding to the complexity. A cloyingly sweet finish though. More so than most in the style even.

Served in bottle so hard to judge appeatance, also served too cold. Taste is typical wheat beer, but bit too sweet. (Houston 201201)

Very popular with the ladies. I can see why, it doesn’t taste like beer but still it’s not bad.
