Appearance: Cloudy, light. Pours a nice but not very thick head.
Aroma: Very mild, tiny hint of citrus and fresh floral aroma.
Taste: Very light at first, you can just about make out the lemon. Lingering sweetness in the aftertaste, mixed with some bitterness from the lemon. I can’t pick out the coriander, but it might be partly responsible for the interesting aftertaste.
Mouthfeel: This is a bottle conditioned beer and that gives it a nice carbonation, I like that in a wheat beer.
Overall: Not very impressive at first, but the aftertaste makes this quite pleasant. Otherwise it might in fact be too easy to drink in its lightness. The remaining yeast from the bottle conditioning does give it some more character though, and I could certainly see myself drinking this in the summer, even if I wouldn’t go look for it specifically.

Bottle into Grolsch pint glass in low altitude Cork, Ireland. Acquired at Abbott's Alehouse Cork.
A: Three finger head of decent thickness but devoid of cream. Cloudy nontransparent orange-light orange colour. Very appealing.
Sm: Citrus orange esters on top of a light wheat foundation. It's fresh, not musty, which is fairly impressive for a real ale bottle beer. No yeast is detectable.
T: Very pleasant esters, especially on the climax, whereon orange is the dominant flavour. The wheat foundation is subtle, allowing the flavours to come through. It's complex enough for the style - certainly a good build. Balanced quite nicely. Again, no yeast comes through.
Mf: Coarse enough and dry enough whilst still being smooth and refreshing, complementing the body.
Dr: I've not liked most of the beers I've tried from this brewery, so it was difficult for me to reach for this one on the shelf, but I'm glad I did. It's better than blue moon and might go well paired with an orange, though it certainly doesn't need it.
