This was a pretty good beer that I had a couple of months ago. A noticeable lemon taste but I can’t remember the more subtle flavours as I’ve only had this once and that was a good while ago.

On tap. Yellow-gold and hazy with a white head. Aroma is orange, lemon, yeast, a hint of coriander. Flavor is sourdough bread, citrus with a little spicy hops. Body is light, beer is refreshing. Not bad for a macro doing a witbier.

Pours a golden orange with minimal off-white head. Aroma is weak with small whiffs of orange peel and a tad of wheat. Taste isn’t bad, but I didn’t like how everything flowed together - it seemed a bit dominated by the coriander. Overall not bad though. Easy to drink.

(bottle into tumbler) Pours a hazy dark amber with a nice sized white head that lasted fairly well. It’s a bit surprising that this is macrobrewed! Aroma had a hint of honey, but was primarily citrus, chiefly orange. Thankfully I was spared what most find the obligatory orange slice on the glass when this is served at a bar. Mouthfeel was very creamy with pleasant carbonation. The taste of the orange was rather forward, but not overpowering, and there was a nice crisp finish. This has always been one of my standbys!

Bottle - Pours hazy yellow with a very small white head. Smells wheaty with just a tough of spice. Taste is bubble gum, sweet wheat, Fruit Roll-up, apricot. More body than expected. Pleasant, but a little too sweet, and fairly boring.

Pours hazy yellow with stark white head, tastes of a normal white beer with orange and coriander with a lemony and estery finish. Not bad for a mass produced beer, but not my style.
