Our most popular beer. A light American Wheat Ale flavored with Mandarin Orange and Vanilla. Like a liquid old fashioned creamsicle.

Appearance: This beer is a nice,clear golden color with a bright, white head that fades quickly.
Smell: This is one of the reasons I buy this beer. It reminds me a little of childhood and having orange push ups. Lots of orange in the noise followed by some nice toasty, malt.
Taste: This stuff goes down way too easy in the az sun. I like wheat beers in the summer and this one is at the top of my local list along with Four Peaks Hop Knot. I love the nice orange flavor followed by warm,toasty, biscuit flavors. No bitterness here just easy drinking oranges galore. A little vanilla on the end and definitely a little sweet which i like.
Mouthfeel: Very mellow carbonation which works ok although I wish it did have a little more mouth feel to it. It does deliver the orange flavors quite well though.
Overall: This is one easy drinking summer brew. I haven't had it for a while so on the way home after sweating my butt off in the 112 degree heat we had today stopped in to Papago to grab a growler. This one is a classic that I have had plenty of times and will continue to enjoy.

Pours a clear orange color with a sudsy white head. The nose is all about the orange blossom, with a nice little vanilla note.
The vanilla is actually my favorite part of the taste - the beer drinks like an orange creamsicle. What a great summer beer.

Wasn’t sure what to think about it. It was ok, but seemed too light In appearance for a wheat. Probably wouldn’t get again.

Pours an orange gold with a white head. Smells of vanilla, orange, and malt. Taste follows the nose almost exactly. Medium body and carbonation. Overall a decent wheat beer with good orange and vanilla flavors.

On tap at Uppercrust in Phoenix. Pours a golden effervescent hue with moderate frothing. Mellow aroma replete with hints of Orange and honey. Similar overall flavor profile.
