Very hazy, pretty ghostly off-white and soft golden coloured body, all underneath a very nice four to five centimetre tall microfoamed, almost nitrogenated looking, pure white body - easily the best head of the Non-Alcoholic month and perhaps the best looking throughout! Aroma of funky fresh oranges, curacao, light canned corn, grains and a good deal of hay, but the orange notes - whether real or artificial, are pungent. Light to Medium-bodied; Fairly soft and wheatie notes show at the front with an easy-going profile, some soft sugars, a lot of the curacao and full oranges here with some candy notes that all ends with a very refreshing and deep taste throughout. Aftertaste is pretty balanced and while the wheat does show through, so does the funkiness, but that is offset by the deep orangey profile and very mild clove and spiciness here with some bubble gum, too, but soft and refreshing, just like a real wit. Overall, a pretty nice Non-Alcoholic beer and a good one for when it gets hot outside - a nice end to my Non-Alcoholic month and one to try if you are doing the same! I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Ye Olde Spirit Shoppe in Frederick, Maryland on 02-February-2023 for US$2,69 sampled at my house here in Washington on 29-March-2023.

Single from Lone Star. Cold, right off the plane & into a pint glass @home. Orange hazy, exuberant head. Orange juice & serious Fruit Loop cereal nose which is coriander-ish. Really odd Fruit Loop/coriander/artificial flavor with a hint of wheat. Just nothing else there. Low to medium low carb, frothy, some acid. Flavor is just so odd.

12 ounce can from Total Wine Brookfield, 9/26/21. Hazy orange, thin head. Aroma is offensive. Wheat and urine. Taste is orange juice, wheat. Thankfully better than the aroma. Thin. Won't be buying this again.

Taste: light sweet & bitter, bright, wheat, oats, coriander, orange peel. Light to medium body with moderate carbonation. Overall, it’s decent.

Cans sent by Ceria for my comment. Orange nose is right there. Almost perfumey. Again, malt is faint in the aroma. Frankly, the taste is quite different from beer. But it goes its own way. I do get some more malt in the taste, but there’s plenty of orange and a slight balance of coriander. The citrus note gets more noticeable as I go further down. It is a darn nice beverage with no flaws on its own. Makes me think of a briefly available non-alcoholic “malt soda”. This might make you think of a Mountain Dew too, only with less sugar and none of that vegetable oil to hold the color. My conclusion is that this is pretty much the NA version of a Blue Moon, with a little extra orange squeezed in.

0.355 l can from 'OnderNulPuntVijf', best before September 2021. Hazy, golden amber with a medium, slightly fluffy, quickly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, gently spicy, moderately fruity-floral aroma of lots of coriander, orange peel, some grains and light banana. Gently sweet, quite spicy, moderately fruity-floral taste of grains, coriander, orange peel and light banana, followed by a short, hardly bitter, gently dry, quite spicy finish. Thin to medium body, gently effervescent mouthfeel, lively carbonation. Pleasant, maybe a little too spicy.
