On tap at the brewpub. Pours a hazy gold with a slight orange hue and a white head that dissipates to the edges and laces minimally. Aroma has notes of sweet grains and tapioca with a bit of backing sweet wheat. Flavor has sweet grains and tapioca throughout with a hint of backing light fruit.

Michigan Brewers Festival 2006. Golden pastel body with a small white head. Yeasty orange citrus aroma. Fairly sweet, yeasty flavour with notes of orange citrus and a light wheat bite. Average to medium palate. This was quite refreshing and quaffable. Will not knock your socks off but I can see drinking a few pints in the summer. Solid offering. 7/3/7+/3/16

Goodbar gets odd stuff. Light lemon nose w. toasty malt and grass. Lemon/toasty malt with a bit of tea & orange in the finish. Meh.

What we have here is akin to a lighter dunkleweizen. Definitely wheaty, the rye lends some spice to the aromas and flavors. Wheaty, some banana. Refreshing as hell on a 95 degree day like when I had it.

UPDATED: JUL 18, 2010 Tap: dark orange with fluffy white head. Aroma is spicy,yeasty wheat. Flavor has lots of spice, pepper/clove. Decent overall. 06’ version. dark golden, orange tint, poured w/o head by bartender, but huge head when swirled. Aroma and flavor are dead on hefe. Nice banana and clove combo. Easy drink, well done.

Tap @ brewpub. Cloudy orange with a small head. Taste is rich sweet malts and funky Belgian yeast. Orange flavor dominates this way too sweet beverage.

Tap. Orangish colored with a bit of haziness. Slight weizen aroma, perhaps more wheat influenced than yeast influenced. Lighter bodied. A touch spicey. Fair.

On tap: Spicey citrus aroma. Real cloudy orangish-amber with a white head. Citrusy with a lightly smoke, light rye, light hops, and lots of pepper and spice in the finish.
