Bottle, Kroger. I had planned on staying up later but alas the sleep gods have called, so let's get this one over with as the Bob Wickman of my beers tonight. Pours mostly clear orange-amber with a small white head. Aroma is candied orange - straight sugar, artificial "orange." Flavor is a hint better than the aroma. Still candied yes, and lots of sugar funk in the aftertaste, but the initial flavor has a hint of peel that makes me think something in this brew isn't artificial flavoring - though that flavor only lasts the briefest moment. I think there's a hint of orange-flavored black tea in there that I don't mind before it gets back to "orange" sugar candy. Drinkable only because I've had several previous to this tonight. If I wake up tomorrow and this glass is half full on the table I won't be upset.

Hazy golden orange pour with a fizzy khaki head and fair retention. No lacing. Strong citrus nose. Flat mouthfeel. Strong orange peel and grapefruit flavor on a weak wheat base. Refreshing.More of a fruit beer than a witbier (and I'm okay with that).

Kroger bottle. Pours a mildly hazy pale gold with a small white head. Aroma is Flintstone's Vitamins, very candied, very fake orange. Flavor is Flintstones Vitamins, orange candy, alka-seltzer. Pure trash, but I suppose drinkable.

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)
