If an orange is involved and it’s free I can choke this beer down, but even then it’s a struggle roughly akin to trying to swim the amazon while wearing a suit made of beef. Inexorably and excruciatingly terrible.

Bottle. Pours a bright, hazy bright orange with a decent fluffy, white head. Aroma is orange peel (I didn’t add an orange slice), lemon, maybe some wheatgrass. Taste is somewhere in between a hefeweizen and a watery witbier. Medium to light palate. Very smooth, citrusy, and refreshing. Neutral aftertaste. My favorite beer from Coors- that’s saying a lot. Gets +1 pt for being Canadian. The best of the Blue Moon Series (the seasonals are all abominable).

Totally took me by surprise. Tried this a couple years ago and thought it tasted like regurgatated beer. Now I drink alot of it. Smells of wheat, coriander, and slightly citrusy. Pours golden amber. Forget the orange because it masks the true spicy and citrusy flavor that is bottled within. Perfectly balanced between wheat and spice. If you dont like it the first time, definately give it a try again as your taste preferences change.

I’ve had this a bunch. Usually from tap into a pint glass. Rich amber color with a white frothy head. Served with an orange slice, it’s hard to smell anything but that, but there is definitely smells of wheat and other summery fruits. With an orange, tastes of wheat and citrus. Pretty good every day bar style beer.

This is very decent beer , great on tap ! The orange thing is weird, we should stick with the traditional lemon slice?

Not terrible. Orangey on the pour. Watery citrus flavor. Not bad for Coors
