Bottle poured to glass. A moderatly well hopped brew that smelt of citrus and a slight yeasty sourdough smell. Hazy orangish,yellow brew with a creamy white head of 1 fingers width that disipates quickly. A wonderfully sweet initial flavor with a light acidic,bitter after taste of citrus fruits. A very well balance beer. I declinded the orange garnish b/c It is not beer. $ 3.25 @ The stones throw

Served with a slice of orange? nice touch i guess, but i’m not a fan of booze with "vegetables"... Offish citric yeast smell. Orangey hazy look with a thin white head. Very watery and tasteless. very drinkable, since theres nothing there to dislike, and then theres always the dodgy bit of orange....

can’t believe I haven’t rated this yet. Not a bad beer for a macro brewery and a decent introduction to the world of beers.

I really found this to an unpleasant beer. When I tried it on tap I had to have orange in it and it was still very unpleasant to me. In a bottle I found it even more unpleasant.

Pours cloudy amber with a thick foamy white head. Lots of visible effervescence. Aroma is semi-sweet maltiness with citrus notes. Flavor is mostly malty, only lightly bitter. Some spice and citrus in there as well. Bubbly, a bit too thin. A refreshing warm-weather brew - nothing terribly special, but very drinkable.

High marks for orange smell and hazy appearance, but the taste and thin watery texture take a lot away. Orange and spice very prevalent. A good summer beer I suppose, but I won’t go out of my way for this.

Draft. Pours a hazy straw color with fair white head. Smells clean and tastes very fruity with some spice. Semi-bitter finish. Reminds me of Leni’s Sunset Wheat. Not a big fan of this one.

This is a very good beer for being what I would consider a macro. It beats the hell out of just about every domestic out there. The look of it is great, but then again, I’ve always enjoyed the copper unfiltered look with a thick head. Smell is forgetable. Taste very sweet of oranges and incredible smooth. Too weak on the beer taste- a little watery. However, it’s great for those who aren’t beer freaks, or you’re wanting to sip on something not very complex.
