This session beer was specially designed for long campaigns, featuring the hefty wheat body of an orc and an enchanting orange essence. But further fortified with dragon fruit to provide hints of kiwi and bartlett pears while blood orange puree casts a peach hue and subtle raspberry flavor.

16oz can. No dating information found.
Just a little cloudy, with a pale gold, with orange tint, body color. Off white head disappears completely shortly after the pour. No lacing.
Aroma of wheat malt and coriander spice, with hints of orange, peach, and raspberry.
Taste is tangy from the wheat and oat malts, and fruity sweet. Other flavors of coriander spice, orange, peach, pear, and berry. Quickly in the aftertaste there is only the wheat and oat malts.
Medium mouthfeel. Clean and crisp. Very low bitterness (just a bit of citrus sting). Okay carbonation.
Orange and dragonfruit additions add to the width of fruit flavors.

Just bought a 4-pack from The Mousetrap in a re-release.
Curiously, I'm the first review and there are three Pooh-pahs before me. But, I'll shoulder the burden.
Refreshing. Fruity aromas, balanced Taste and cleansing Feel. Looks are common to OCB table ales, not an active yeast producing foam... but I'm OK with that. Also for Looks, the can isn't cute... and I prefer mouse-cute over Fantasy-dark.
OCB brewed slightly more than a handful of wits and I've drank all but one. A selection of their malt bills seem similar and the wheats and flaked oats produce a common gentle Feel. The difference between OCB wits and their Belgian masters is the yeast. Make that more lively and their wits could start to deserve recognition similar to their line of saison Predators.
With Fantasy, I've completed trying OCB's "Beer For" line with 25 Active on BA and 111 total. To understate, I'm a fan.
6/30/23 Had a second can while preparing dinner. But the proper test for here is summer fare, cool food with vinegar and olive oils. I'll get to that taste test but will record it on UnTappd.
