Pours to a medium, tan colored head. Has a different, fruity type aroma. Has a cloudy appearence as you would expect with a wheat beer. Has a pop to the palate when consumed and does not leave an aftertaste. The waiter stated most people put an orange wedge in it, but he didn’t have one for me so I did not try it that way.

orange murky color, not alot of lasting head. mostly fruity tasting, yet non-offensive. drink with a "wedge" of orange to achieve maximum desired taste. decent american go at a belgian white (witbier). great winter brew. i’ll buy it the once in a while when i crave this type and hoegaarden isn’t an option.

Has orange aroma, although that was boosted by the orange on the rim. This is about as Belgian as I am, which is not at all. No yeast flavor at all! Funky non-Belgian aftertaste. Exactly what you expect a "Belgian" made by Coors to taste like. Non offensive and bland.

355 ml bottle. From the US (H). Hazy yellow-orange colour with small white head. Quite sweet caramel and wheat aroma with spices and fruity notes. Same goes with the flavour. Very smooth.

This is an OK beer. Some of my friends claim this to be the greatest beer in the world, but I definitely don’t find that to be true. It is commonly consumed with an orange, though it doesn’t add much flavor to the already orange tasting beer.

Bottle - Hazy gold in colour. Slightly fruity and spicy aroma. Slightly tangy and fruity taste with some spicy hints. Slightly thin and disappointing.

It smells a bit like oranges and a bit like caramel and a lot like vomit. It is cloudy orange. Some mild bitterness, orange, bread and gastric acid forms the flavour of this questionable brew. This is... not good. Blech. Oh, and the finish is dry.

Note to self: Never go from Pliny the Elder to Blue Moon.

I have had this many times from the bottle and on tap. For what it is, this is a pretty decent American version of a wit.
