Bottle. Gold in color with a three finger head. Aroma is grains, with an orange whiff. Taste has orange but not sugary orange pop. Just ok.

Not as fruity as it smells. Very refreshing though!

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, bottled on 3/24/2016. Pours hazy golden straw color with a 1-2 finger dense white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of blood orange, orange peel, coriander, pear, apple, pepper, wheat, cracker, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of fruity/earthy yeast, spices, blood orange, and light-moderate pale malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of blood orange, orange peel, coriander, pear, apple, pepper, wheat, cracker, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate yeast spiciness and slight fruit bitter/tartness on the finish; with lingering notes of blood orange, orange peel, coriander, pepper, wheat, cracker, and herbal/yeast earthiness on the finish for a short bit. Good balance and solid robustness of fruity/earthy yeast, spices, blood orange, and light-moderate pale malt flavors; with a nice malt/spiciness balance, and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Light-moderate dryness. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, fairly crisp, and lightly creamy/grainy/sticky balanced mouthfeel that is good; a bit thin even for a witbier. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.1%. Overall this is a very solid fruited witbier. All around good balance and solid robustness of fruity/earthy yeast, spices, blood orange, and light-moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth and refreshing to drink. A pleasantly enjoyable offering.

Draft. Slightly hazy gold color with fast dying fizzy head. Aroma is light citrus, light coriander seed and maybe watered down wheat.
The flavor is a mixture of watered down orange juice and a really poorly brewed wheat beer. Thin texture with a terrible astringent bitter finish. Sour grapefruit juice. This is harsh and bad even for Shipyard. What the hell is this suppose to be?

Pours ever so slightly hazed gold into a shaker. Bright white soapy head with little retention recedes to hug rim. Lemon joy aromas. Sour soapy lemon joy upfront turning sharp and dry in the medium length bitter marshmallow finish.

Pours a dark straw from a bottle. Smells and tastes like a diacetyl-bomb lip-balm. No trace of orange anywhere. Really quite a horrible beer.
