Definitely a great beer. Initially gives off a lot of orange and flower aromas (even without the orange that gets added at serving). Great mouthfeel with a lot of malty bready flavors. One of the best of the flight.

Pours a hazy golden yellow. Aroams of bread, fruit and spices. Flavors of orange, spice and some hints of citrus hop.

This actually wasn’t bad. Had some nice fruit in the aroma with just a hint of spice. Some sweet malty notes, with a bitter citrus finish. Quite simple and drinkable.

On tap at Table Rock. pours out a gold topped with a small white head. A nice aroma of sweet oranges. Tast of light orange and a little citrus hops. Very smooth. Not bad. A good summer brew.

Tap @ brewpub: Clear dark gold with a light head. It has a mild lemon and spicy aroma. The flavors are fairly hoppy with some stronger spicy notes. A pretty good overall, well-balanced beer with a nice aftertaste.

Draught sample from brewpub. Orange blossoms, lavender or chamomile, orange blossom honey. Very wheaty with citrus esters. Sweet and floral. Golden amber clear with thin lacing off-white head. Has a medium watery body with rather light carbonation. Starts with floral orange blossom notes, light candi sugar. Has a dry bitter citrus flavor at the finish, with a mild bitter after. Was told at the time by the server that this was a witbier, not an amber ale - actually tasted more like a wit, too, which is a bit odd for an amber.

Draft: Golden orange color with a smaller white head. Nose is fruity with citrus highs. Tastes sweet and overly of the orange tones. Some maltiness and light hops.

<!-- B -->On Tap<!-- /B --> at the BrewPub. Nice deep orange, amber with a small off white head and only traces of lacing. Mild sweet malty aroma. Dont notice much orange or corriander(whatever that smells like). Flavor was sweet lightly toasted malts with the honey actually coming through a lot but again not much the other advertised spices. Medium weight and drinkable. Easy on the bittering but decent all around I thought. maybe I was just thirsty. eh.

Citrus, imparts a strange bitterness. Sweet. Trying to be Apricot Amber, which also sucks.

Light orange pour with a small creamy head and good lacing. Nose of floral hops, sweet oranges and malts. The hops in the flavor start out with floral followed by citrus (orange) and bitter hops. This is accompanied by sweet malts and some hints of a spice. The palate is nice and tangy, the finish is bitter.
