A pleasent enough beer. Has nice aroma, appearance is kind of cloudy, nice taste and easy on the palate. I had this one on tap at a Delaware eatery, I’ll drink this one again in the future.

Very good with an orange slice, goes great with food. A great way to get a great beer at any bar. A definite go-to beer when at a bar.

Ah, my gateway beer. This was the one that made me realize beer could taste and taste GOOD. Pale cloudy orange with a nice 2" head. Sweet citrus smell and taste. I love this on a hot, humid day (and there’s no other kind here in the 5-6 month summer). Easy to find, easier to drink, this is my constant fallback drink, my tasty walk down memory lane each time I pop one open.

Not really a favorite, but I use this as my go to beer when first walking into somewhere new. It’s very common to an orange slice to the glass since the beer is brewed with orange peels. Not as orange flavored as the commercial Shock Top. It’s kind of hit or miss with some people since many are opposed to fruity tasting beers...... Don’t be fooled though, it’s not some girly hard orangejuice. It’s beer

i was stuck in the dallas/fort worth airport, where i sampled this on tap at a T.G.I.F. pours cloudy yellow, no herad, tiny white bubbles. i was slightly amused when the bartender served it with a slice of orange. it smelled of orange, but then i threw the slice away. i smelled some wheatiness, and possibly orange (don’t know how much orange was residual from the slice). flavoe has a bit of spicey-sour hint, with banana tones. a bit effervescent on the tongue. not bad, but i am not wheat fan.

I like how bartenders put an orange in it. I love beer flavored oranges! Anyways, orange colored but not as appealing as I’d like. Weak on flavors of obviously orange, and small amount of hops. No bitterness unfortunately.

One of the better commercial beers out there. Orange colored Wit Bier, with a strong body, although I hate how bartenders automatically throw an orange in the beer now!
