3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/2012oz bottle: Pours a cloudy pale golden with stringy-lacing froth of white head. Has a tart citrus fruity nose with a hint of coriander and mild wheat. Starts with a slightly creamy mouthfeel with fine carbonation and mild sweetness with plenty of orange and lemon zest with some earthy bitterness and coriander spice before a drier bittersweet finish. Hard to put my finger on it, but the flavors here seem muddled and not as fresh as I was hoping.

Bready aroma with only a whisper of hops. Pours a hazy amber, with a thin white head. The orange, coriander, and wheat come through, with just a little bitterness in the finish. This comes across more of an American Wheat then a White IPA.

Mix of Belgium spices and hops. Not bad. I like this style a lot. Hop flavor a little too much like strait from the pellet.

Hmm, pretty much what it seems. Has some nice wheat flavors up front and than finishes fairly dry and IPA like. Somehow it kind of works. Has a wheat look - straw pour with barely a white head and not much lacing. Aroma is an equal balance of hops and orange notes. Interesting if anything!

6th October 2012
Hazy gold beer, tidy white head. Fine particulate floaters! Light nose of apricot and pineapple. Palate is slightly soft with mild fine carbonation. Dry seltzer minerals. Traces of pineapple cube sweets and citrus. Mild creamy malt underneath. Semi dry finish with a touch of yellow graqpefruit. It’s fine but there are better white IPAs out there!

UPDATED: JUN 2, 2013 Very frothy at first pour, cloudy muted gold. Smells great: citrusy with a little bit of soap. Hoppy, but not too bitter, and lots of lemon and coriander. Light wheat finish. Very drinkable.

Pours a hazy orange-gold with a medium-sized head. Tangy, with just the right amount of bitterness. Some citrus notes.

12 Fl. Oz. Bottle. Pours cloudy golden; small white head but with lots of lacing. citrus fruits on the nose are predominant but you’ll also get some spices and some grain. Taste starts bitter and sour, lots of citrus notes, spicy and balanced with grain. Interesting beer worth trying.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours very cloudy orange with large while head. Very bitter and sour when first on the palate, and in a good way. Nose is all citrus. Notes of citrus, sour something-or-other, bread and, strangely enough, asparagus (!). Tasty, different beer. Might be the best thing Saranac has offered yet.
3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
A heavy aroma of orange with a hint of apricot and other spices. The appearance is cloud with a medium bodied head. Strong orange taste with other spices and a tangy after taste.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours cloudy tan with frothy head. Lots of orange on the nose with a bit spicy notes. The taste is very well balanced between bitter and sweet and overall makes for a delicious beer!
