I'm kinda meh on this. Pours a cloudy orangey-amber color with a decent head. Nose is somewhat dusty/grainy, a little hint of honey is nice, light citrus. The flavor is more dominated by the orange peel, which has an artificial character to it, and afterward its too bitter, it doesn't really feel balanced. I can only barely taste any honey. On the whole it's a recipe that just doesn't find harmony between its ingredients and doesn't make you want to drink more. I could see this possibly working if you were sitting at a beach bar and got one of these, and you were too busy girl watching and enjoying the beach to pay attention to your disappointing beer.

16 oz. can purchased at The Mansion. 5.2% ABV. Pours a mostly clear gold color with a small white head and poor retention. No lacing. As expected, has a citrus and wheat aroma. Mellow flavors of wheat, and citrus, with the honey taking the edge off the wheat. Light booze finish. Low carbonation gives it a rather flat mouthfeel. Medium body. Enjoyable.

Was expecting orange crush soda, got a fairly good but not too crazy honey wheat ale with hints of orange.
