A great little refeshing summer beer. It pours a very cloudy burnt orange color. little bits of setiment at the bottom of the bottle. The taste is a malty citrius blend that tickles the toungue. I had a glass after working in the yard and it was quite refreshing and enjoyable. I could see 3 or 4 pints in a row getting old. I would imagine the citrus would start to be overbearing. But one on hot Atlanta day... can’t be beat

Butternut tripel yeast aroma, and when you really suck in you can just catch muted cinnamon at the end. Lots of sediment in the bottom of the bottle, muddy yellow. Tangerines, a nice crisp/bitter roll to the beer. Not sweet, not too spicy, a bit bready. Tangerine on the lips, medium-light body. Nice brew.

Pours out a nice hazy watered down orange juice color...like the color of a strong screwdriver....Nice lemon zest on the aroma with some malt and spice. Very drinkable with some nice balance throughout. Very solid beer.

Eagle’s Landing Bottle Shop - Stockbridge, Ga. - 12 oz bottle. Pours a haxy dark golden-yellow with a sticky white head that leaves good lacing. Fresh, lemony aroma with traces of cloves. Clean flavor with hints of bananas, mint, vanilla and a strong lemony back end. thickish mouthfeel with just the right amount of spritziness. Very much a summer refresher as it advertises itself as.

12oz bottle-A nice head on a hazy yellow body. An aroma of orange,coriander and banana. Taste has the same ingredients but not what I consider a white. Has some tastes that I can’t explain. A little light.

Bottle. Sour wheat, ripe banana, and coriander aroma. Cloudy light yellow color with small head. Orange peel, lemon, clove/coriander, and wheat flavor -very dry. An extremely well made beer - a great choice for those that don’t like any sweetness in beer - probably one of the least sweet wheat beers I’ve ever had.

A slightly hazy pour. An aroma of fruit and a spice I don’t recognize. A nice crisp flavor with a hint of bannana and sweet malt. A decent mouthfeel with jusst a slightly water edge. A beer that I enjoyed much more than I thought I would when I pulled it from the refrigerator. A nice beer.
