Pours a lightly hazy, very pale lemon-gold, with big head that dissipates fairly quickly. Aroma is full of esters, like sour banana, coriander, etc. Flavors follow. Fairly clean, crisp mouthfeel. Lots of carbonation.

16 oz can. Thanks to Chalumeaux for grabbing this at the brewery! Aroma is wheat, coriander seeds, orange. The flavor is normal example of the style. The coriander is mild and not over done, subtle in the finish. Citrus lasts through out the entire sip. Lightly floral.

Can from the brewery that pours a slight hazed, golden-yellow colour with a frothy white cap, good retention and some foamy lacing. Some particles do show up eventually. Orange peel nose with mild spices. The flavours show a bit of the same. The mouthfeel is crisp and juicy with a light dryness in the finish. A little rich and on the sweet side, but goes down nicely overall.

Can from Matt: pours hazy light orange with white. Aroma is orange zest, yeasty. Taste is citrusy, lightly sweet. A bit hefty. Fine.

Pours murky gold into a shaker. Bright white soapy head crackles and recedes to nothing. Sour citrus aromas. Medium bodied to slightly sharp with coriander, tangerine and sweet honey front to back. Mild earthy bubblegum finish.
