Bottle from Hophead22, thanks man! Poured a cloudy, pale yellow color with a half inch white head that receded to a layer rather quickly. Aroma of crisp wheat, a touch of soft dough, a light spiciness, and some citrus (orange) rind. Smooth initial entry leads into a crisp, dry wheatiness paired with a tangy citrus flavor that transitions into a moderately sweet orange flesh that lingers into a lightly hoppy, dry finish. Moderate carbonation contributes to the crisp, dry mouth feel of the beer. Overall, a very well done fruit beer that doesn’t seem artificial in any way. I would drink this regularly if I could, and I bet it’s really nice on tap. Thanks again Tim!

Jan 2, 2010 Bottle thanks to FlssmrBrewAlum. Pours a hazy deep goldenrod with a small white head. Aroma of wheat malt and fresh oranges. Flavor with nice mellow oranges and light bready malt. A little minerally. Not as orangey as I would have liked and kind of bland.

Jan 1, 2010 Rated from Keg purchase for New Years. Poured a cloudy orange/yellow color. Aroma was like fresh pureed oranges. Lots of citrus and orange taste as well. Very great wheat beer that is crisp and tart.

Dec 17, 2009 Bottle at Rhian’s house - thanks toots. Nose is a solid real orange with smooth wheat behind it. Color could be more vibrant. Flavor tasted like maybe the bottle wasn’t fresh, but Redlands oranges are nothing to sneeze at so this may be the long-awaited replacement of Papago Orange Blossom. One can dream...

Dec 15, 2009 Cask at the brewery. Pours a very cloudy yellow with a very small white head. Aroma was mostly pineapple and some other sweet tropical fruits. Flavor was not too different from the original, maybe a bit sweeter but the orange still comes out very well, a nice dose of wheat. Palate seemed a bit thin but not bad with the typical light cask carbonation

On tap at McAlans. Pours a very cloudy straw yellow with a white head. Aroma is all fresh oranges. Flavor is tons of fresh oranges with a nice light wheaty backbone. Not in any way complex but very drinkable and very refreshing. Light to medium bodied with a good deal of carbonation. Definitely one of the more impressive beers of the style and worth sessioning.

Nov 26, 2009 Presentation: Standard brown 12oz bottle. I love their logo. Growing up in Redlands this bottle hits the right notes for me.
Appearance: Almost like a well made mimosa (i.e. only a splash of O.J.) Their is very little head even when aggressively poured.
Aroma: Strongly like orange rind. Alcohol comes through quite a bit.
Taste: One of the most refreshing beers I’ve ever had. TONS of orange flavors - zesty and citrus, but not to a fault like some fruit beers, it is still a wheat beer.
Palate: Acidic and bubbly.
Overall: I really enjoy this beer. Highly recommend giving it a try sometime.

Oct 30, 2009 Pours a hazy yellow. Nose is orange juice, bitter orange peel, sweet citrus. Flavor is a super refreshing orange, wheat, sweet sugary citrus, mild yeast and bread. Another excellent hangar beer.

Oct 26, 2009 This is an excellent beer. Very fruity... without the fruit. Smooth great for a summer day. Best beer from hanger 24, if I could buy it on my side of the country i’d get it regular. Nothing on the bad of this beer.
