Pours a hazy light honey color with smallish white head that falls to a light skim layer. Smells of orange, wheat and sweet malt. Some spice notes as well. The taste is wheat, and sweet malt to start then a pretty big orange flavor in the middle with a zest/ bitterness. Finishes slightly dry and citrus fruity. A little artificial tasting in terms of the orange flavoring.
Mouthfeel is light body, medium carbonation. Fairly nice. Overall easy to drink though I don't love the flavor which is what beer drinking is all about to me at least.

Poured into a Sam Adams glass, developed a nice full head which laced very well and had good retention. Appearance was cloudy and yellow to straw in color. Aroma was very stong of citrus, orange in particular, with notes of banana. Taste was of a mild citrus, more orange / lemon, with hints of spice. Mouthfeel was light with a mild, citrus aftertaste.

Pretty good beer. I like the cloudy look the UFO gives. I actually prefer this to there other ufo offerings (although I like the raspberry as well.)

This offers a lot while not being over the top with the orange, but the orange hints are there.
I tried with and without a squeeze of orange. Both a nice but I prefer it without because there seems to be enough going on that the orange squeeze takes away from the beer.

I will definitely buy again - very good beer for a gathering to let people try.
