A: Glass is murky, dark orange. No head. There might be a little pulp of particulates in there.
S: Pungent sour orange, faint whiffs of wheat,
T: Just like the smell. Super-power orange concentrate flavor. Beer/alcohol tastes are hidden.
M: Odd.
O: I guess if you like fruit juice with beer, this is for you. It's like blue moon with orange taken to the far extreme.

this thing pours the same color as the tables... only milky... orange tinted amber with a white ring of lace.
it smells like canned/frozen/cooked orange juice concentrate with a bit of musty wheat and some minerals.
not surprisingly it tastes like a generic frozen OJ and mediocre sparkling wine mimosa... quite tart and dry yet fruity and sweet-ish. there are faint notes of stone/minerals and dusty earthy grain. light to medium bodied with a bit of a starchy mouth feel. a good way to start the day (drinking). 6/4/6/3/13/3.2

This beer is incredibly hazy, it is down right murky in appearance and is a light amber, orange tinged muddy color. There is almost no head, with barely a ring of white bubbles. The aroma smells simply of orange juice; nothing more, nothing less, though it is perhaps a touch muted compared to an actual glass of OJ.
Not surprisingly, the beer tastes like a blend of orange juice and a wheat beer. It has the sweetness of OJ and a citrus-like bite characteristic of orange peel. The beer has a tartness to it that helps a little bit to balance the sweetness. This is pretty light bodied, but the murkiness suggests a touch of fullness that is actually present. The orange flavors definitely dominate the flavor profile of this beer, but there is a touch of tart, grainy wheat to the finish.
This is the beer worlds version of a mimosa; the beer provides the bubbles and tempers the OJ just a bit, but doesn't really add a whole lot in the way of flavor. This seems to be a bit of a departure from beer, but it would be a good brunch accompaniment. It definitely has the refreshing thing going for it.
