I don’t understand the obsession with this one. Its ok. But I agree with mexifinn, its too fruity, and adding an orange just makes it worse.

Tastes a bit like a Zima with some moldy and gritty orange peels mixed in for texture... sorry, but not actually a beer to me, more of a fruit drink... only redeeming quality was the higher than avg. alcohol content.

This beer pours a hazy orange color with a medium white head. The aroma is very much of citrus and a bit of wheat. Flavor is predominantly citrus and some spices. Soft moutheel. It’s OK, but not great, and due to its lack of character, obviously comes from a mega brewer. I won’t be anxious to buy it again.

Pours a cloudy yellow-orange with a foamy white head. Aroma is citrus and a little spice. Taste is orange and some spice. One of the better macro beers available. Not bad overall.

Certainly one of the better macros out there. Cloudy golden orange; a bit less head than hoped for. This is a big ol’ spice bomb. Lots of citrus (lemon and orange) but in a somewhat thin way; loads of curacao and coriander. Nothing subtle about it, but definitely quite drinkable.

This was somewhat of a positive surprise. Thin head, cloudy light yellow, reasonable spice with cardamom, citrus flavors, a bit of similar spice in the mouth, but very watery and minimal finish.

On tap, pint glass. Dull opaque gold with a finger’s worth of a quickly dissipating fluffy white head. Aroma of lemon. Citrus flavor initially also of lemon, then turning darker, towards orange. A banana sweetness becomes more evident in the finish. A hint of nutmeg gives a buzz to the tongue. Flavorful, but a musty staleness is a significant defect.
