Tan and cloudy; smells sweet and wheat. Tastes nice, crisp, refreshing, sweet on finish. Nice white ale essence.

Light, stark and bitter nose. Yellow/golden murky presentation typical of the style. The first taste is hoppy, bitter, and rather unenjoyable. It is light and crisp on the tongue with an after taste that leaves a medium mouthfeel. Probably better with food than alone. I would say it is representative of the style, unfortunately the style does not suit my palate.

Pours a cloudy yellow with tiny white head. Smells of citrus and wheat. tastes like orange, coriander, and citrus. Not a bad wheat ale, however, I do not like additives in beer very much at all.

Pours murky tan. Cloudy. The head is sticky and creamy. Creamy mouthfeel, crisp finish. Good beer...had it without the orange, and that might’ve been for the best.

best of the white ales that i’ve had, out of the tap has almost no head, maybe because of the orange slice the stick to the top of the glass. hazy dark golden color.

I prefer sans orange slice. Nice light and fruity brew... able to have a few without the sweet flavoring become too intense.

In a beer desert like Mississippi, this is a welcome sight in any bar. A decent true to style wit. A bit light in body and overly fizzy, but enjoyable.

The beer that got me into beer. I like the orange flavor and aromas. Orange slice inside is a nice addition. Great for football game watching.
