Tap @ Titans, Otsuka. Pours orange, somewhat hazy, white foam on the top. Nose is parfumy, lots of spices, cloves and strong lemon peel citrus. Tastes similar, lots of esters, light bitterness and super clear tart wheat character. Bit to much of that perfume there for me. Otherwise smashable summer beer.

Draft 8 oz pour at Hop and Hound. Well, there is certainly no shortage of the advertised blood orange in this brew. Tons of juicy orange from front to back. Unrecognizable as a hefe in the end, really. Soft haze to this golden orange pour. Thin film head. Extra cool flavor. A minty orange almost. Not bad, though it's too much of the additive for me. It is what they say it is.
