2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
24 oz can. The big ass can makes me think of crappy malt liquor, so it is a little surprising to see something that is clear gold and has a two finger sudsy head come out. Aromas are also a plus (compared to... say... Old English) as they are heavily spicy (coriander and light lemon) and don’t make me think of paint thinner. I’m still having a hard time getting around the huge can, though. Flavor is decent enough and I’m wondering why this isn’t rated higher. It’s not great, but has a good mix of spice, citrus and wheat malts, although it might have a bit too much of the pear/honey sweetness. Still, this is pretty good... err... at least till it warms a bit... then it turns a little nasty.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Aroma of citrus, wheat hops and alcohol. Taste is the same as aroma with a hint of wheat and citrus. Medium thin mouthfeel with a mild bitterness and a slightly tart finish. Decent.
3.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours a beautiful hazy gold with lots of tiny bubbles capped by a thick white foam. Nose is citrus. Very creamy texture. Nice flavor balance of wheat, citrus and hops. Clean crisp finish. Not as refined as some other Belgian whites, but this brew is a very capable companion on a summer’s eve, either with a slice of orange or with some light picnic foods.

has got some character to it, the malts are malty and slightly over sweet. not much on the hop front. the is some fizzy carbonation, still I find this refreshing.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
The aroma has coriander, orange, wheat, yeast, and a touch of hops. The appearance is cloudy gold with a foamy head. The flavor is like the aroma. It’s a little cheap tasting but not bad at all. The palate is right for this style. Overall I like it.
2.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Has an orangish (is that a word?) color. Hints of orange, malts and hops. Has a little bit of a weak flavor. Light in the wheat and hop areas, but it is kind of smooth. Not much of an aftertaste, but then again if you’re lacking flavor, you’re probably lacking the aftertaste too! One less beer to have in the future.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
24oz can. Pour was murky orange with a quickly dissipating white head. Moderate white lacing in the glass. Aroma was pretty much that cheap beer smell you’d expect. Aroma is of cheap beer malt, some citrus notes, grains, and spice. Taste is slightly above cheap crap. It’s of malt, with a slight hop sweetness. There is also some citrus notes and spice. Mouthfeel is watery and goes down much the same. Offensive to the palate not only in aroma, but also in taste. Would not ever drink this again.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: DEC 13, 2008 16oz can. Cloudy orange tan color, nice frothy head. Big-time aroma, lemony and citrus. Big wheaty Hefeweizen taste, very drinkable. Some corn and sugary tastes in there, but the big yeasty unfiltered aspect really shines through. A little funky with some trace wheaty sourness. Good value for a quality product. This is a well done beer, despite the gimmicky name.
