On tap at the Common Table. The beer pours a hazy yellow color with a white head. The aroma has a lot of orange citrus notes, as well as some wheat. The flavor is more complex. I get some great wheat and honey notes, as well as some herbs and juicy citrus. As I drink the beer, the herbal notes get stronger and stronger and add more and more to the flavor. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. Very nice.

I've been an avid beer drinker since I had my first at 8 with my great grandfather and I kept seeing this beer pop up on my for you page and you know just keep popping up on social media and uh I just want to say I'm extremely disappointed too much blood orange zest not enough honey to balance it out it's extremely bitter dry is an understatement the notes of star anise and cinnamon are overpowering it's a very harsh beer for it to be a craft beer I give it the same rating as a steel reserve 211 and I'd rather drink a steel reserve 211 then this so I have five bottles left that I will not be drinking. I was excited for this because it's a Texas brew and I'm a South Texas Man we love our football God Guns BBQ And Beer this was a disappointment.

Shocked I never posted my rating of this; I must have it still in handwritten notes. 12 fl oz can courtesy of Mike - thanks!
The blood orange lacks its signature pithy bitterness, and instead what we get here is a sweeter almost candied orange flavour which might not be so unpleasant were it not so artificial.
C- / BELOW AVERAGE

Interesting. I guess American Wheat Beers are our version of a traditional English Pale Ale.
Approachable. Malty. Well carbonated. Slight breadiness, faint hidden banana note.
Full-bodied; the 7% makes this feel more full in body than an adjunct lager. It’s what I wish most lagers were; there’s just more substance here than a lower abv lager.
It’s easy drinking with character.

Look - 12 oz bottle poured into a stemmed tulip glass. dark orange in color, cloudy, with a small head and trace lacing.
Smell - a ton of citrus (blood orange) in the smell, with some yeast and orange peel resembling a wit. slight sweetness.
Taste - moderate acidity hits the palate first, more so than expected. followed by light wheat and honey.
Feel - medium bodied, average carbonation, and towards the stronger side at 7% ABV. alcohol is very well masked and nearly undetectable.
Overall - an american wheat beer with Belgian notes and a slightly acidic twist. not particularly memorable, but not at all bad.

I had this on tap at Cricket's Taproom in downtown Waco, TX.
L - Dark gold color; crystal clear. Lighter in color than I expected.
S - Spicy noble hops, but very little malt or wheat nose. Clean but uninteresting.
T - Subtle spicy/herbal hop character with a little wheat in background. Clean but uninteresting.
F - Light to medium body. Fizzy carbonation. Low bitterness. ABV is well-hidden.
O - This is an inoffensive wheat beer that could be enjoyed by non-beer fans. Very drinkable, but not worth seeking out.

Had Blood & Honey poured from 12-oz. can, bottom stamped "BB: 4/10/24," delivered by friend from Texas, into small weizen glass.
Pours gold with clarity and 1-finger near-white head, which soon dissipates away, leaving practically no lace. Big burst of citrus and (less) of floral and spice aromas off pour, then sweet malt aroma, and finally a little funk as warms. On tasting, begins smooth and malty, and a bit sweet, with a little banana, spices and some nice herbal hop bite up front, carrying through a full, malty body, into a slightly-crisp, moderately-malty, somewhat (honey-)fruity finish.
Probably properly listed, as it is, as an American something, but also sharing characteristics of a Belgian Witbier, this tradition-untrammeled beer is citrusy up front, mildly spicy, and smoothly malty for a big, chewable if a bit too sweet of an experience.

12oz bottle served in a snulip. Date on the bottle is 06/19/23. Got it in a trade with @MrSandman101.
Pours a hazy dark orange with a small head composed of very fine bubbles. Smell is orange peel and flowers with a light bready undertone.
Taste is moderate clove, light honey, orange peel, and more of that breadiness.
Mouthfeel is a little bit on the heavy side, almost a chewy texture. Overall, not bad.
