mzaar (345) - Varberg, SWEDEN - FEB 5, 2012

Det doftar åtminstone lite belgisk veteöl, om än artificiellt. Men smaken är vattnig och tunn. A disgrace, som engelsmännen säger.

Rotbart (16) - - FEB 2, 2012

Pouring gave a nice foamy head to the glass. A strong citrusy aroma was gfollowed by the trademark somewhat strong citrus taste. It left a clean taste on the palate and overall was an enjoyable beer, although better suited to summer.

mcmisko (112) - - FEB 1, 2012

Pours a cloudy orange yellow. Big white head that dissipates quickly. Smells like fresh citrus, and sweet malts. Taste like fresh spices, lots of sweet citrus fruits, and crisp sweet malts. Clean crisp after taste. This is a sweet beer, but is not sugary, just fruity and malty. I think this is very refreshing.

dogbomb (94) - ENGLAND - JAN 31, 2012

355ml Bottle in UK, branded "North American Craft Beer". Pours a murky hazy light-pale orange, with no head. Beer is very subtle. There’s a coriander "hay" like taste, which dominates the roof of the mouth. It starts off pleasant enough, with subtle hay/wheat tastes and orange-peel - but gets a bit boring after a while. There’s something missing but can’t quite put my finger on it.
