L:. Pours a slightly hazy dull straw yellow with a small white head and no lacing.
S:. Fresh grain and wheat mixes with a very pleasant blood orange
T:. Nice wheat and grain, mixes with lemon and a very pleasant blood orange. The blood orange compliments the rest of the wheat beer very nicely.
F:. Soft pillowy mouth feel and easy drinking.
O:. This beer shows how blood orange should be done in beer.

Look * hazy with only about 1 finger head - retention is ok but recedes quickly - continues to bubble with some lacing
Smell * some wheat - tangy earthiness - and strong citrus/orange
Taste * sharp bitter bite from fruit and maybe some from hops - some wheat - some malt - very tart - not much on the German yeast or banana clove typically in a hef
Feel * barely in the medium body category - pretty thin and oily
Overall * this is decent - wouldn't but a 6 pack (bought as a single in a mixed 6) - ok to try a few times here and there - better on a hot day out in the wilderness - decent

Yellow and hazy, fair head and ok lace.
Aroma is yeasty up front, with some wheat and grass notes, and a nice crispness that's not hoppy but has a feel reminiscent of a light hop bite.
Body is pretty good, thick and rich, yet way easy to drink, and very thirst quenching.
Had at Choice City Deli in Fort Colliins, CO.

Extremely pale, more like a Wit in color. Quite flabby foam and some sharp carbonation. Nothing creamy about it. Extremely light mouthfeel and a tart sensation.
This tastes more like an American Wheat, and a pale one. There is just a hint of malty taste, but mostly it's club soda with a lemony note. This gets close to sourish and finishes with a bitterish twang. This doesn't seem to have much life in it. It's just oddly tart and lemony with a touch of dishwater.
From the 22 oz bottle bought at Wilbur's Total Beverage in Fort Collins.
