Pours deep amber into a shaker. Sickly looking head quickly subsides. Sour, stale malt aromas. Bubbly with a nasty sour chalkiness from front to back. I hope there’s something wrong with this bottle.

Bottle. Pours an orange/copper with about a finger of sudsy head. Aromas are sweet malt without much other complexity. Flavor is sweet caramel with a spicy finish. Taste is surprisingly full and full of spiciness. Much better than I expected. Maybe it’s just getting on to fall and I’m over-ready.

12oz bottle. Orange-brown colored, filtered and transparent. Pretty decent Oktoberfest, would do better in a blind tasting, but being SAB is gonna open you up to some harsh criticism, perhaps justifiably so. The flavor profile is alright for the style, but the beer just fades on you into a watery finish. Crisp mild balancing hops hold the beer together. Not great, but certainly not bad either.

Bottle. Pour is a coppery amber with a one-finger head and sweet malt aromas with a touch of metal thrown in there. Flavor is watery up front and then transitions to a kind of toffee malt finish.

A hazy golden ale with a thin white head. Strong aroma of orange Tang. In mouth, a good malt and wheat backbone with an off putting artificial orange taste. Medium bodied. Bought at CJs Potsdam, 1.40$.

I had this the other day for a BBQ, and it was a good choice. Very refreshing in the realm of a Hoegaarden with more body. Has a nice wheat flavor that stays until the next sip.

On tap. Cloudy orange body with a thin off-white head. Aroma is spicy, fruity, oranges and a bit wheat yeasty. Flavor is sweetish fruity, orange, some banana and lemon candy. Could be a lot more beer here, but its really a refreshing treat.

12 oz bottle. Well, "lemonade flavor" pretty much describes this beer. Drunk straight from the bottle. Aroma is beer, with notes of lemonade. Flavor is, well, something else - a concoction of lemonade and beer with notes of wheat. It’s not awful, but this shouldn’t be drunk unless you’ve been outside in the hot sun and the beer is served just above freezing. Better than the alternative - Mike’s Hard Lemonade.

Sampled 12oz bottles of this at my first imperial stout tasting. Pours a thick, oily black with a tan, creamy head. Aroma of chocolate, bourbon, oak, vanilla and whiskey. Flavors are similar with burnt toast, tobacco, oak, and bourbon. Oily on the tongue, really hot on the finish. A very, very big beer.
