UPDATED: MAR 26, 2005 03.25.05 33cl bottle. Cloudy golden color with smallish white head that fades to a trace. Weird aromas are like mustard and orange and some odd air freshener and its interesting but not entirely pleasant. Sour. Flavors come around to a sweet and orangey concoction with hints of floor cleaner and furniture polish. It’s not lemony; it’s not spicey. What it is is a slap in the face. I get no wheat esters, not yeastiness, only weirdness, and it bugs me. I’m not so happy about this brew -- down the drain it goes.

ocloudy orange with a large white head. yeasty aroma is mostly of cariander, taste is coriander with some spiciness, quite carbonated a tad too much in my opinion. a dacent beer but there are plenty of better wits.

Cloudy golden with a big retained egg white head. Aroma is very bright with orange, yeast, and spices. Flavor is a bit overly orangy but also spicy and dry. Yeasty too. Enjoyable beer. I would really like this during the hot Texas summers.

Pours a cloudy, yeasty orange. Smell of orange peel is immediately recognizable in the nose. Strong carbonation. Very crisp orange and coriander flavor. Pretty good beer but way too fizzy. Worth a try though.

Weird color and nose. Somewhat dusky pink and unusual spice. Coriander comes in prominent with some other unknown spice. some sourness and acidity on th finish with a musty aspect almost wet dog.

Strong orange and coriander aroma is almost cola-like at times with a notable lemon-citrus character. Hazy, deep golden yellow-orange with fizzy white head that recedes rapidly to cover. Plenty of yeast remains in suspension. Very tart citrus-lemon flavour dominates with fair spciness. Somewhat sour in the finish. Somewhat watery and very light in body with aggressive carbonation that is a bit offputting. Perhaps this sample isn’t in the best of shape? Bottle (Half Time Oct. 2004).

Citrusy, spicy aroma, can definitle pick out the corriander and orange peel, with notes of lemon zest, fresh cut grass, and slight vinegar. Hazy yellow orange, thin white head. Tart flavor accentuates the citrus, a bready earthiness comes through as well. Unfortunately, there is an unpleasant medicinal/metallic off-flavor, which detracts from the brew big time. Lively medium light body. If not for the off-flavor, which seems to be a chlorophenol to me, this wouldn’t be bad. Hopefully I just got a bad batch, but it doesn’t speak well that the brewery would allow a beer with such a blatant flaw on the market.

Post shower dinner beer, whopping bottle. Poured an attractive golden yellow, decent head. Aroma lightly of coriander and orange peel. Flavor matched, with notes of wheat grains. Very well balanced. Touch of yeast as well. This is a really good wit.
