tap/bottle - a decent wheat ale - nothing truly original or stands out but is a refreshing beer. decent

Bottle. Pours a golden with a small head. Aroma of lime, wheat, and lemon. An actually pleasant sweetness to this one, which I must admit I was shocked about. I *could* drink this beer and enjoy it.

Pours with a fizzy, white head with a fruity pebbles aroma with some clove and ornange peel. Head goes away quickly, but the lacing stays for a while. Murky yellow body, not an amazing taste. Pretty dry and fizzy.

Bottle. A spiced citrus spritzer in a beer bottle. Coriander. A little orange. Coriander. Some citrus. Coriander. Hazy, dark yellow body with a white head that disappears. The aroma has some malts in it in the form of toasted grain, but the dominant scent is coriander and orange peel. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. Light body and watery texture. Lots of carbonation. What this beer has going for it is that it is a thirst-quencher with coriander flavoring.

Draught at Freaking Frog, Las Vegas
Cloudy blond color. Some wheat aroma, cookies too, milky; strange. The aroma is not bad, unfortunately the flavor is bad: weak, empty, dry, with an unpleasant aftertaste, a bit herbal.

16 oz. draft at Buffalo Wild Wings. Pour is orange amber, clear with a mostly whiye head. Aroma of citrus and some caramel malt. Taste is very citrusy, mostly orange (I had this with out the customary orange slice) with a medium - full body and some nice caramel nut malt. Overall, much better than I was expecting and a nice pair with spicy wings, very refreshing.

12 oz bottle from Cheyenne, WY; nose is citrus, and grape, along with some wheatiness; hazy urine yellow with a medium yellowish head; my snifter looks like a urine sample cup with this in it! flavor of sweeteness with light citrus and Trix cereal flavors (maybe that’s what they flavored it with, Trix contains wheat). Not a great wheat! Tastes more like some alco-pop beer for girly-men!

Aroma, I swear, is of anise. Maybe with a bit of orange. Hazy orange tinged gold color with a white head that ringed with tatters of lace. Medium bodied. Moderate carbonation. Orange citrus flavor, orange oil, but I still think there’s some anise. I don’t know what happened to the hops, but the bitter seems to come from orange oil. A pretty dry finish, and that anise note persists. If that’s what it is. Pretty amazing. New to me.

Quite possibly the worst beer I’ve ever had. This smells like a fruit salad, an over ripe fruit salad. Flavor is more like a wine cooler than beer, all sugar, no distinguishable malt or hops. Flavor is sweet like boxed wine. I nearly spit this beer back into the bottle... it’s that bad.

Bottle. Pours a very cloudy off yellow color with a medium white frothy head. The aroma is a pungent orange with hints of citrus and wheat. Nice lacing that stays. The taste is a very strong orange/citrus taste with a crisp finish.
