Bottled. Pours a hazy golden yellow colour with a thin white head. Good yeasty aroma blended with citrus scents. Flavour a little heavy on citrus with a slightly sharp/tart finish. Okay.

CaptBier (315) - Birmingham, Alabama, USA - JAN 4, 2008
UPDATED: MAY 4, 2008 Bottle. Acidic citric aroma. Pale orange pour with thick white head. Very bad banana and tart citric taste. No where near as good as I would expect.

An excellent beer to set off pizza or a burger. Lightly sweet with citrus up front, more lemon than orange, and a strong clove backstop. Very smooth.

Bottle. Pours with a pale yellow body and light haze, a big head and decent lacing. Aroma is citrus and maybe some banana. Taste is light and predominantly orange with cloves and floral hops at the back.

Hazy orange/gold color... thin white head. This is something the people that are going crazy for Blue Moon should try. This actually tastes like the flavors were brewed in, not just extract added. Definitely a banana note in the flavor. That is much more pronounced than the orange. Mouthfeel is smooth and creamy. It’s a cold and dreary day here, this would be great in hot weather...

thechandler (379) - Charleston, West Virginia, USA - NOV 16, 2007
UPDATED: NOV 30, 2007 Pours a pale golden with a small white head. Aroma is barely there, but what’s there is good, nice and sweet. Taste is smooth and light but very good flavor. Light citrus notes but nothing overpowering. Moderate carbonation. Pretty good beer.

ChetLemmons (87) - orlando, Florida, USA - NOV 5, 2007
looks refreshing. nice color, lil to no head. smells like you would think a white would, which doesn’t appeal to me much. slightly carbonated, light to medium bodied, goes down pretty smooth. detected a hint of burnt orange. brought down from panama city, as i can’t find this one down in orlando, so it’s always good to try a beer you can’t get locally.

on tap-pours an off white head and cloudy yellow color. Aroma is banana, secondary clove, strong wheat. Taste is banana/lemon, clove/pepper, strong wheat, yeast. Good effervescence.
