Bottle, different label. Good orange nose. Yes, pretty color, sunset orange fer sher. Some weird fruit flavor along with other spices and such. Yes, taste is almost orange, if that. Blood orange I guess? Does seem to have some alky added, but its not over the top, heheh, shock top. Finish is somewhat difficult yeasty backbone and medicine. Not impressed, was expecting something a little different and more civilized.

Bottle. Blood orange, light wheat malt, and straw aroma. Hazy reddish amber with light tan head. Moderately sweet blood orange, light wheat malt, and very mildly bitter hay flavor. Fruity but not much else.

Hazy golden orange pour with a fizzy khaki head and fair retention. No lacing. Strong citrus nose. Flat mouthfeel. Strong orange peel and grapefruit flavor on a weak wheat base. Refreshing.More of a fruit beer than a witbier (and I'm okay with that).

Bottle from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours coppery gold with a white head. Aroma is blood orange with a perfume aspect. Med body. Gah! It is sweet. I think the flavors are there, but they must have dumped in sugar or corn syrup. Rather unsettling. And distasteful.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, bottled on 8/26/2017. Pours lightly hazy medium orange/amber color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy off white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big blood orange, grapefruit, orange juice, lemon zest, orange peel, coriander, light pepper/clove, wheat, cracker, white bread, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness. Nice aromas with good balance of citrus fruit/peels, coriander, pale malt, and light earthy/spicy yeast notes; with good strength. Taste of big blood orange, grapefruit, orange juice, lemon zest, orange peel, coriander, light pepper/clove, wheat, cracker, white bread, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness. Light herbal/grassy bitterness, yeast spiciness, and slight citrus tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of blood orange, grapefruit, orange juice, lemon zest, orange peel, coriander, light pepper/clove, wheat, cracker, white bread, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice robustness and balance of citrus fruit/peels, coriander, pale malt, and light earthy/spicy yeast flavors; with a nice malt/bitter/spiciness balance, and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from tart/bitter/spiciness. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately crisp/bready/grainy, and lightly sticky/acidic mouthfeel that is good. A bit thin, but not watery feeling. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.5%. Overall this is a nice fruited witbier style. All around good robustness and balance of citrus fruit/peels, coriander, pale malt, and light earthy/spicy yeast flavors; very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink with the mildly tart/bitter/spicy finish. Really well balance between the fruit/peels, coriander, and pale/wheat malts. Very flavorful for the ABV. Would have liked more yeast presence, but it had a solid amount. A nicely enjoyable offering, and good style example for a fruited version.
