The look is golden in color, clear, and not much color. The smell is oranges, tang, fruits, powder, and malts. The taste is fruits, oranges, and boring.

12 oz bottle pours light amber with a white head. Aroma of sweet malt and orange. Taste is bitter orange peel, honey and a hint of malts. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle. Tangy orange aroma. Hazy straw gold with a moderate white head. Orange and oily orange peel flavor. Light body, lively carbonation. Not a great beer, but I sort of liked the orange oil flavor, and I’ve had a whole lot worse.

Patrickctenchi (1677) - columbus, Indiana, USA - APR 12, 2013
Pours hazy, light amber with a skim of head. Aroma is orange alka-seltzer and AsperGum....(remember AsperGum?) Taste is stale orange peel and water. Plenty of orange elements here, and they all work poorly. It’s not good at being orange, and it’s certainly not good at being a beer... Useless... They really need to get a clue at the brewery.......

Darwenus (384) - Virginia, USA - APR 6, 2013
Pours like water. It’s noisy, it sounds like Sprite while pouring from all the carbonation. The aroma is kinda like stale piss. The flavor is totally mythological. As in, non-existent.

berrya785 (395) - Kansas, USA - APR 2, 2013
Pours a hazy gold with a huge fizzy white head that dissipates quickly. Aroma of orange soda and candy. Taste is semi sweet with orange and grain.

strong aroma of orange and creamy on the mouthfeel mild hops and mild malt profile would probably be better served cold on a hot day.

Served from bottle into a Sweetwater snifter. Poured a golden yellow with a half finger white head that subsided to a minimal amount instantly. Maintained decent lacing throughout the glass. The aroma was comprised of sweet malt, orange, and wheat. The flavor was of sweet malt, cream, orange, and wheat. It had a light feel on the palate with medium-high carbonation. Overall this was an average brew. Nothing really stood out on this one at all for me from other brews of the same style. There are so many good brews in this style, it would be hard to do so, but this one felt like it didn't even make an effort. Yes, the orange was there. Yes, the cream was there. But that's it? I guess you can't win them all. Glad I got the chance to tick it, but doubt I would go out of my way to do so again. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

wildbeercat (118) - Tucson, Arizona, USA - MAR 29, 2013
12 fl oz / 355 mL bottle into pint glass. Aroma: Sweet oranges. It sounds weird, but this smells fizzy. Artificial orange cleaning agent kind of smell. Appearance: Hazy yellow, no head at all. Lots and lots of bubbles. Taste: Citrusy, very orange-y. Some sweet malt. Palate: Thin, fizzy. Kind of refreshing. Not really creamy at all. Overall: This could very easily be an orange soda. If you’re looking for a sweet, orange-y beer, this is the one for you. There’s not a lot of depth or complexity. Not bad, just not mind-blowing.

bottle. meh, just not a good beer. I’ve run across this beer many times, never purchasing. For some reason decided to try it, even knowing the result. I’m sure there’s a market for it and can see that some would enjoy this - just not me.
