This one certainly smells of oranges and cranberries. The flavor is of sweet wheat malt but isn’t too sweet. The citrus and tart cranberries are apparent. It’s light and easy drinking, nothing special but works well enough.

12oz can. So removed from what they used to be, this is quite artificial and aimed at non beer drinkers/kids/seltzer types. Flavoring is a big as smoothie thick boys, just lacks the body. Drinkable, but this should not be a wheat beer. Crap fruit beer all day.

Can, pour is clear orange. Nose is attractive fruit. First taste is quite refreshing. Lots of bubbly carbonation. The orange comes thru on the taste buds and then its followed up with a cranberry tart impact. One of the better cranberry related beers I've had lately. I ike that this is not blood orange, it makes a big difference that its just plain of clean orange. Quite tasty and better than expected. I was thinking this would be a wheat ale thing but this lacks any of the rude ass bitter bite of a typical domestic wheat ale.

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a pinkish orange gold with a finger of off-white head that dissipates. Cranberry and orange aromas on the nose. Palate shows the same notes with a wheat backbone underneath. Quite fruit-forward, but not overly sweet. Very nice fruit beer.

Cranberry, orange, wheat malt, and straw aroma. Slightly hazy reddish amber with small head. Moderately sweet cranberry, orange, wheat malt, and mildly bitter straw flavor. Good body. Nice flavor.
