12oz bottle at the Tagalong Golf Resort in Birchwood WI. Hazy yellow/gold. Slight lemon yeasty aroma. Flavor is light and citrusy.

Pours a hazy orange, not surprising considering it’s a Belgian White. Aroma is rather weak compared to other Belgian Whites. Flavor is of coriander and some spice -- an expected orange peel flavor. A little weak on the spice, which makes it less interesting and too bland. It’s good for a Coors beer, but there are much better Belgian Whites available -- even for the same price.

Great tasting, lightly unfiltered. Great with an orange slice. Not very fruity. Great summer beer.

Pint draft. Pours cloudy yellow-orange with light orange head. Orange citrus dominates the aroma and flavor. Also wheat, coriander, and malt. Seems artificially flavored. First few sips are the best. Grainy mouthfeel with medium body. Seemingly on tap everywhere so I’ve had a decent amount of these, with diminishing returns.

Aroma is hay, citrus, with some hops. Appearance is straw yellow with white head that goes away quickly. Quite a bit of carbonation. Flavor was, in my opinion, kinda nasty. Lightly bitter, lightly sour, some citrus notes. Ugh, I dunno. I expected more. Went down, uhh, barely. Kinda oily. Overall, didn’t like it. Had some good moments, but was pretty bland.

From tap at Breakwater, Oceanside. Pours hazy yellow with a small white head. Light eastery and soapy spiced aroma. Sweet and mild coriander flavoured. Sweet fruity, yeasty and mild spiced flavoured. Mild acidic and dry finish.

Cloudy golden pour with a small white head that recedes very quickly. According to BJCP this style shoud have "quite good" head retention. Citrus aroma of orange and lemon - kinda smells like fruity pebbles. Flavor is sweet carbonation at the beginning, very little complexity, finishing with a grainy dryness. Medium light body with lively carbonation and no harshness from orange or alcohol. Whatever.

THIS IS ONE OF MY WIFES FAVORITE BEERS, PERSONALY I CANT DRINK IT. IT POURS A VERY CLOUDY GREENISH ORANGE COLOR WITH NO HEAD DOSN’T EVEN LOOK LIKE BEER IT ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE ICE-T/LEMONADE MIX, TASTES LIKE A SKUNKY CRISPY ROTEN ORANGE, NOT MY STYLE IF I WANT A DRINK THAT TASTE BAD IT ATLEAST SHOULD HAVE A TON OF ALCOHOL IN IT.
