Bottle from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours coppery gold with a white head. Aroma is blood orange with a perfume aspect. Med body. Gah! It is sweet. I think the flavors are there, but they must have dumped in sugar or corn syrup. Rather unsettling. And distasteful.

From Jan 2008
I bought this locally.
This pours from 12oz bottle a cloudy yellow-gold with a huge head of foam.
The smell is of fruit, yeast, and wheat but it's light on the nose.
The taste has notes of some citrus lemon, wheat, and a bit of a metallic flavour but again, they are lightly done. Too lightly done. It was born on Dec 7th so it *is* fresh. Hmm. The body is light, the carbonation is high, and it finishes..well..it finishes like a Bud only more watery. Give me a Leinie Sunset Wheat or Blue Moon Belgian White over this any day because they have a lot more flavour going for them.
Edit: I thought I'd try another bottle right after the first and I *did* notice some spice this time but it didn't help too much with my overall rating for it.(taste went from 2.5 to 3.0)

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, bottled on 5/6/2017. Pours lightly hazy pale golden yellow color with a 2 finger dense and rocky white head with great retention, that reduces to a large cap that lasts. Nice dense soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of lightly tart lemonade, orange zest, coriander, pear, apple, light banana, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of lemonade, spices, fruity yeast, and moderate pale malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of lightly tart lemonade, orange zest, coriander, pear, apple, light banana, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness. Very mild herbal/grassy bitterness and lemonade tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of lemonade, orange zest, coriander, pear, apple, light banana, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice robustness and balance of lemonade, spices, fruity yeast, and moderate pale malt flavors; with a good malt/bitter/tartness balance; and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Slightly increasing dryness from bitter/tartness and carbonation. Medium-high carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/grainy, and slightly acidic/sticky mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.2%. Overall this is a good Shandy style. All around good robustness and balance of lemonade, spices, fruity yeast, and moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth and refreshing to drink. Nicely flavorful for the low ABV; with great balance between lemonade and normal base Shock Top flavors. A bit more body and less lemonade acidity than others in the style I've had; but the flavor impact really isn't there. A nicely enjoyable offering, and good example of the style.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, bottled on 8/26/2017. Pours lightly hazy medium orange/amber color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy off white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big blood orange, grapefruit, orange juice, lemon zest, orange peel, coriander, light pepper/clove, wheat, cracker, white bread, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness. Nice aromas with good balance of citrus fruit/peels, coriander, pale malt, and light earthy/spicy yeast notes; with good strength. Taste of big blood orange, grapefruit, orange juice, lemon zest, orange peel, coriander, light pepper/clove, wheat, cracker, white bread, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness. Light herbal/grassy bitterness, yeast spiciness, and slight citrus tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of blood orange, grapefruit, orange juice, lemon zest, orange peel, coriander, light pepper/clove, wheat, cracker, white bread, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice robustness and balance of citrus fruit/peels, coriander, pale malt, and light earthy/spicy yeast flavors; with a nice malt/bitter/spiciness balance, and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from tart/bitter/spiciness. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately crisp/bready/grainy, and lightly sticky/acidic mouthfeel that is good. A bit thin, but not watery feeling. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.5%. Overall this is a nice fruited witbier style. All around good robustness and balance of citrus fruit/peels, coriander, pale malt, and light earthy/spicy yeast flavors; very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink with the mildly tart/bitter/spicy finish. Really well balance between the fruit/peels, coriander, and pale/wheat malts. Very flavorful for the ABV. Would have liked more yeast presence, but it had a solid amount. A nicely enjoyable offering, and good style example for a fruited version.
