Cloudy orange with large white head. Very sweet aroma with loads of spices and peach notes. Citric flavour with yeasty and coriander notes. Not a good wit.

Can on NW 795 to Tokyo: maybe it was just the environment, but certainly the most I ever enjoyed a beer on a plane. Yeah, too sweet and too many additives, but refreshing and flavorful, and not bad at all. First rating 2008: 5/3/5/3/8: Murky orange/brown color. Spicy, orange aroma with what malt, coriander, ginger, babana. Big nose, not natural though. Sweet, spicy, fruity flavor with ginger and all kinds of spices. Way overboard on the spices and additives. Palate light and spritzy. Drinkable, probably good in the heat, but way too much junk in it.

Pours hazy gold into a shaker. Tangerine aromas. Sharp, sour bubblegum upfront with a sour, painful finish.

Pours hazy blonde/golden, thick white head. Aroma is just filled with fruits. I am not getting muhc of anyting natural in the flavor, and instead get too much added flavors. The aroma is overloaded with citrus / orange peel and wheat, it becomes borderline soda. Taste is about the same, with some added coriander, the whole mix give it a fruity taste close to grapefruit. Too much of a ’soda’ orange like taste with hints of hops in the background. Drinkable, but not natural enough for my tastes.

Opaque tan. Spicy, brash nose - not refined but full of spice, orange. Creamy with orange and pear. Sweet and sour, like a candy. Quenching, wheat note in the finish.

Draught at Detroit airport. Cloudy amber with a trace of white head; unexpected aroma of berry fruits and the more usual wheat; sweet to start with strawberry, orange and other fruit flavours, then a short bitter burst and a dry floury finish. Different and rather pleasant.

A hazy golden ale with a thin white head. Strong aroma of orange Tang. In mouth, a good malt and wheat backbone with an off putting artificial orange taste. Medium bodied. Bought at CJs Potsdam, 1.40$.

I had this the other day for a BBQ, and it was a good choice. Very refreshing in the realm of a Hoegaarden with more body. Has a nice wheat flavor that stays until the next sip.

On tap. Cloudy orange body with a thin off-white head. Aroma is spicy, fruity, oranges and a bit wheat yeasty. Flavor is sweetish fruity, orange, some banana and lemon candy. Could be a lot more beer here, but its really a refreshing treat.
