Draft US Pint in The Blue Chair, next to London Bridge (Lake Havasu City) on 3rd April 2025. Hazed orange body, orange segment on the rim. Pleasant, easy going Wheat Beer with a distinct orange leaning in both the nose and taste. This was actually a lot better than I expected and sat outside in the sunshine looking at London Bridge, it was a lovely refreshing beer to have.

12oz can pours with an opaque orange sort of golden brown colored body that supports a weak off white head. The aroma offers up sugary malt sweetened citrus as well as some Belgian yeasty spices. The taste is pretty slick and sweet with sugar malts and then honey, over ripe pear and then bits of sweetened citrus. To midway it also picks up some mild spicy notes. Yeah, too sweet, too muddled too much time on the Total Wine shelf (shame on you Total Wine).

Reviewed from notes. Consumed during my AZ trip.
The appearance was mostly a clear somewhat hazy golden orange color. light one finger head dies to basically notying over top of the beer. There is a light carbonation that is seen rising at a moderate pace.
The smell had a sweet sticky orange yeastiness with light Belgian spices backing it up.
The taste was a spicy sweet all the way through, light yeasty yet somewhat spicy aftertaste with a quick dry finish.
On the palate, it sat at/about a light on the body, somewhat sessionable with a carbonation that is somewhat sharp but ends up maintaining a decent yeasty coating of the mouth and tongue.
Overall, this is not a bad take on a witbier by an American brewer. I would have this again and could see some grilled halibut steaks with this.

Location: 12 oz can by the pool, Marriott Tempe at the Buttes, 3/9/14
Aroma: Aroma of orange/spice, pretty fruity, coriander, and some wheat notes
Appearance: It pours a murky orange color, a little sediment, almost no head, and minimal lace
Flavor: The flavor is sweet and fruity, lots of orange up-front, some later yeast and spice
Palate: Pretty darn drinkable, wouldn't have guessed this at 8.5%, soft! smooth! and clean feel
Overall Impression: This one kind of grew on me. At first I thought it was too sweet, but there's enough spice to balance it out, and it works nicely as an outdoor drinking beer. Also, that alcohol is super well hidden. Drinks like a 4-5% beer. If you want some sweet and fruity and cold by a pool you could do a lot worse.
