This beer pours as a standard translucent golden wheat ale with a 2 finger head that settles to a little foam. It looks very appetizing in a tall glass. The smell is very fresh and invigorating, crisp tangerine and and wheaty maltiness. The taste might be a bit much for some as the tangerine can come across with a somewhat of a perfumey character, although served sufficiently cool it is also a great thirst quencher. The feel of this beer is akin to a soda pop, light and bubbly with less of the body associated with more traditional wheat beers. This beer is fairly drinkable, easy to guzzle, but the tangerine flavor becomes old fast. If that component were reigned in a bit, I could easily see this being a session beer.

Will drink again.

look: 3.25 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.25 | feel: 2.75 | overall: 3.5

Poured from a 12oz bottle dated 11/7/12
A - A foggy golden tan with a white 2 finger head that dissipated rapidly with minimal lacing
S - Overwhelming tangerine -ish aroma pleasant, but bordering on unnatural
T - Strong tangerine flavor, mostly through the nose; slightly acidic finish
M - Thin with little carbonation
O - Started refreshingly interesting, but the Tangerine is too much. If this beer were a bit mellower and had a little hop bitterness to counter the tangerine it could really work.

On-tap at Beer Revolution in Calgary. Beautiful warm day, so lets stick with a light fruity selection today.
Slightly murky, orange color. Thin, white foam but minimal retention or lace.
The aroma is a huge explosion of fruit. First thing it reminded me of is a creamsickle. If its a fruit beer, lets have it all fruit (in aroma and taste).
The taste had the same orange/tangerine flavor, but not nearly as full as the smell.
The wheat beer base is there in the back ground, but obviously the fruit dominates. No real hop or bitterness to speak of.
The mouthfeel is light, and works for the style. Carbonation is low, keeping it from being too much like a fizzy wine cooler or soda.
Works great for an easy drinking, summer time refresher.
