A pronounced citrus and fruity hop taste, perfectly balanced by wheat, coriander, and orange peel.

Bottle. Dry orange peel and orange wheat malt aroma. Hazy golden yellow with large fluffy white head. Sweet orange, wheat malt, and mildly bitter orange peel flavor. Medium body. Pretty good.

12 oz bottle. Aroma contains the coriander and orange peel as advertised, along with a generic beery smell and some wet dishrag. Pours cloudy golden with a medium collapsing white head. Taste is spicy with fairly high bitterness. It also has a vaguely cheesy note, along with that trademark Blue Moon generic beer taste. Creamy mouthfeel, medium body. Not bad but not too good either.

Pours a cloudy yellow color with a thin white head that evaporates quickly to a film. Spotty lacing. Aroma of citrus, spice and wheat. Light-bodied with flavors of grassy hops, lemon and spiced wheat. The finish is mild citrus, coriander and yeast. Slightly above average overall.

Pours a hazy straw with lots of floaties from a bottle. Aroma is a very slight citrus/grapefruit. Flavor is light, not much going on, but not actually bad. Okay beer.

12oz bottle. Hazy unfiltered orange-yellow-tan body. Big foamy white head. Pretty good for a macro interpretation of the style. Bold, cool, crisp...true to style in flavor. The sweetness of the malts/grains/corn syrup or whatever comes through more and more as you sip, which is unfortunate, because it is pleasant otherwise. The orange peel really starts to shine as well. Not so good, not so bad.

On tap @ Old Chicago Fort Collins. Pretty damn cloudy, dull yellow orange appearance with a frothy, off white head. Looks fine. There’s a lot of orange marmalade in the nose. Some vanilla, soft sweetness, hint of lime, and smarties / candy / tropical fruity hops. Soft mouth feel. A little piney, moderate plus bitterness (but certainly better than most IPAs ), mango, pineapple, and a lot of candy notes. A little bit of green hops. Fairly dry. Medium body. More sprees / candy on the finish with just a little bit of bitterness. No complaints on drinkability. Maybe a little too fruity but still easy to chug. $3 on special at Old Chicago right now. I’d drink it again given there weren’t better local wheat beers on tap like Sunshine or Easy Street.

Bottle. A- Coriander, orange, wheat. A- Orange color, hazy liquid, white head. T- Strong coriander, spices, subtle orange, wheat, subtle bitterness. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, unbalanced finish. O- This was like coriander, coriander, all about the coriander. Way too much spice and not enough of everything else. The aromas was fine but the taste and palate was just way too heavy on the spice. Tasted like a bad witbier and not at all like an IPA.

Tap, easily the best option at the neighborhood Applebees at the time. Pours golden with a light haze and a smaller white cap. Nose is a little bit of hop spice and citrus sweetness. The wheat actually works OK with the mild hops and citrus. I thought I tasted lime too. Not bad, finishes clean.
