12oz can. At the February DCBeer share. Poured a clear orange color with a bit of a golden hue, with a foamy white head. Aroma was pretty much straight up blueberry juice, not overpowering, but just straight up blueberries essence with a bit of grain. Flavor was more subtle, with a decent amount of wheat, with blueberry skins.

Draft pour at Huss Brewing, Phoenix. Clean golden appearance. Rocky head. Really refreshing brew with a nice layered of orange and vanilla. Lots of orange juicy fruit up front, a bit crisp, with a lengthy vanilla bean finish. Really fun brew.

Gold with a frothy, white head. Aroma of cream soda and orange peel that comes together nicely. Taste is mildly bitter on a medium, creamy body. Finishes slightly sweeter with a touch of vanilla. Not bad.

12 oz. can from Total Wine, Scottsdale, AZ. Pours a crystal clear medium gold color with an off white head and good retention. Spotty lacing. Orange citrus aroma. Sweet, natural orange flavor with a light wheat base. Juicy, not cloying. No bitterness. Super smooth and refreshing. The added vanilla flavor is perfect. Crisp and clean mouthfeel. Light body. Great beer.

Can. Hazy orange colour. Thin head. On the nose, this has more of a creamy vanilla and malt sweetness, cookieish. Soft body, just a touch of orange. Decent body for this type of beer, does have that sort of creamsicle note, because of the vanilla, but I'm definitely wishing for a bigger orange character.

12 ounce can into tulip glass, no can dating. Pours lightly hazy/cloudy pale golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger dense white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of mandarin orange, vanilla, cream, pear, apple, wheat, cracker, white bread, light honey, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of orange, vanilla, pale malt, and light earthy hop/fruity yeast notes; with solid strength. Taste of mandarin orange, vanilla, cream, pear, apple, wheat, cracker, white bread, light honey, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness. Very mild herbal/grassy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of mandarin orange, vanilla, cream, pear, apple, wheat, cracker, white bread, light honey, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice robustness and balance of orange, vanilla, pale malt, and light earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; with a solid malt/bitterness balance; and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Minimal dryness. Medium carbonation and body; with a smooth, creamy/grainy, and slightly sticky mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5%. Overall this is a good flavored wheat ale. All around good robustness and balance of orange, vanilla, pale malt, and light earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the minimally bitter finish. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Very well balanced between all flavors. The creamsicle thing is pretty spot on for what they were going for. Underwhelming, but nicely enjoyable and well made for the style.
