mild flavors of orange citrus and tamed sweetness... as expected within a decent backbone of wheat that is of course quite vegetable in nature. fair in palate and wheaty without the mistake of being grainy. light in the spice but for me MORE acceptable (in the style). different not bad and not good.

Its interesting to see AB trying so hard to make it into the craft beer market. The only problem is they use cheap ingrediants, and all there beers taste like they use Bud for the base. This beer was no different. Pours a yellow color that is far to orange to look like a wit. Smells sour and of czech hops. Tastes like, surprise! bud with a shot of Hoegaarden dropped in it. Weak taste but some of the spices are decent. I guess those are easy to come by.

Had this on tap. Didn’t realize it was AB until later. Fruity flavor and smell. Thought I caught a whiff of corriander also. Not bad. Better than my other options on tap (Bud, etc.)

I know its an AB product but its not that bad. Bottle, Cloudy yellow, weak aroma. Taste was decent, spices, hint lemon. Light in texture. No hoegaarden but a decent beer for the summer.

Huge creamy head gold color body with some lacing. Aroma is strong, orange. Taste is citrus fruits some lemom, lime, and mostly orange. Tastes a bit like a wheat beer with an orange slice floating in it. A tasty brew but certainly different.

On tap and served in a short weizen glass (no orange). This beer poured a moderately hazy golden orange hue with a short-lived head of white fizz. No lace. The aroma of the beer was made up of light wheat and citrus. The flavor was mild with a bit of sweet, artificial Sunkist pop flavor. The mouthfeel was light-bodied with aggressive carbonation. Not terrible.

Bottle - Light Honey color. Small white head. No lacing. Not a bad brew. It has a hint of citrus flavor. Not nearly up to Oberon/Whitson status or even Bluemoon for that matter, but a nice try for Anheuser Busch. Its very drinkable, but hard to choose this with so many quality Belgian wheats available. Bet its decent on tap

filmy, chemical nose, kinda like orange air freshener covering up cigarette smoke. nice haze, good head. orange notes directly up front, but still neither fresh nor bright. has a bit of a chemical burn to the finish, beyond metallic. i’m sure this is great for people who don’t like beer and are tired of wine coolers.
