Brewed with real blood orange for maximum refreshment. A crisp beer with juicy orange flavors and fresh citrus flavors, that always go down easy.

The $2 single price is the reason I'm here. Stemless @home. Dense, frothy, whitewash, oily orange gold body. Orange soda & fresh orange oil on the nose. Natural Flavor? Yeasty, dusty & bittersweet slurry mixed up with ample orange extract of some sort. Sharp, too much rind, Orangina, grapefruit bitterness. Kinda okay when ice cold.

12oz can (5%) on 6th January 2023; daughters place in Laguna Hills, can obtained from a Trader Joe's. Poured slowly into a 'Leffe' chalice, more Pink Grapefruit in color than Blood Orange, but it's getting that way I suppose. Misty/hazy with no head worthy of such a name. OK, I've had worse Blood Orange beers, but this one really does feel like it's got Blood Oranges oozing out of the brew in both the aroma and taste. Can't tell it's a Hefeweizen though?

Shaker pint draft at Minsky’s Pizza in Leawood, Kansas. The pour is a hazed orange golden with a small white head. The aroma is blood orange fruit and peel, along with some hay, wheat and general fresh citrus. The taste is blood orange, tart citrus, softly sweet, wheat, and more of the citrus and peel towards the back. The palate is light bodied with active carbonation and lingering blood orange tartness. Fresh, and easy drinking.

Poured from the tap (ABV listed as 5%). Hazy gold with small white head. Huge grapefruity blood orange citrus aroma. Taste is very blood orange forward, virtually no hefe, and a bit light bodied. Average.

Can from Total Wine in Folsom, CA. Pours translucent orange gold with a transient creamy white head. Blood orange for aroma. Med body or so. It's tart/bitter - blood orange, hints of banana and spice. Wheat discernible in the finish. Refreshing.
