12oz Bottle. Pours with thick white head that fades rather quickly. The color is a light yellow that is almost clear. There was noticeable floating sediment in my glass. Aroma of coriander, yeast, florals and orange peel. Taste is crisp; that mirrors the aroma. It had a almost light vanilla aftertaste. Nothing real exciting but a good beer. Depending what you have to choose from at a given retailer, this still maybe a good choice.

5.6/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 5 Texture 6 Overall 5.5
Location: Sampled at the NY Brewfest on Governor's Island, 6/19/10

Aroma: Nose of spice and yeast
Appearance: Pours a cloudy golden color
Flavor: Taste is spice and wheaty notes as well
Palate: The body is light, its a touch thin, and decently drinkable
Overall Impression: Overall this is a pretty standardish attempt at a Wit. Drinkable, quaffable, and ultimately pretty forgettable. The word "average" seems to dominate my notes.

6.1/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Location: Sampled at the NY Brewfest on Governor's Island, 6/19/10

Aroma: The nose is fairly light, some caramel, light fruits, and grass
Appearance: Pours a mostly clear copperish-yellow color
Flavor: The taste is also a bit light, but solidly balanced with a mild sweetness and mild bitterness
Palate: The body is light, the beer is crisp and clean, and just a bit watery
Overall Impression: This one is for all the Orange out there, as I believe it is not only the first beer I've tried from Middle Ages, but the first beer I have tried from the home of the Orange (I still find it funny that they went from being the Orangemen to the Orange, but that's not really relevant to the beer rating). Anyway, this beer was a decent pale ale, solidly enough made, but ultimately underwhelming.

A dark reddish brown ale with a thin light moka head. A superb fruity hops and malts aroma, resinous and pinhey, just right. In mouth, intense malts, oily mouthfeel, pungeant, with good grassy hops, well sustained by the malts, treacle, licorice notes, all smooth and warming. On cask at the People’s Real Ale Fest, Clarke’s Ale House, April 30 2010.
