One of the best of the mass produced beers on the market

A super refreshing beer from Coors. Readily available across the country in bars, gas stations, and grocery stores. A good go to if craft beer isn’t an option.

Great for a mass produced beer. I like citrus flavors so this does it for me.

Not bad for a mass produced wit beer, although for a few extra bucks you can do much better.
It has too much citrus taste in it for me. The residual sweetness is also a bit off putting.
I'm sure it was much better when it first came out, but it's a good remedy for summer thirst.
I think of this one as a "Chick" beer, one for those who don't really care for beer, but still want to drink a beer.
There's probably worse wit beers out there, but not many.

I've had this beer many times in my life, but never recently -- until we went for pizza at a local family place in the outskirts of Nashville in August. The most remarkable element -- no orange slices! I actually ordered a different beer, but I finished my wife's and this is what she ordered.

9/8/23 On tap at Chili's in Uniontown, PA. Visited after our first Lyme's disease trial shot.
Not much in the nose considering the decent bready banana wheat spice notes.
I consider this a nice decent average mass produced witbier.

24 oz can acclimated to 48°F and poured into a tulip glass.
Pours hazy, the color of apricot juice, nice color. Produces a 1 finger white head, dissipating quickly and leaving lacing that fades quickly.
Initial aroma is orange peel and juice with some yeast, slight note of hay maybe? After agitating I'm hit with a funky and cooling smell that reminds me of sea spray.
Initial taste before swallowing feels like it hits the same receptors as salt, it's juicy and yeasty with a peachy and apricot taste. After swallowing I first taste a peachy/fruity/nectar/juicy taste. I then notice a fermented/bread/dough/yeast taste that seems to grow in intensity when the other tastes fade. In the aftertaste is a bitterness that I don't find pleasant, sort of a rotten vegetable taste.
Mouthfeel is rather juicy, feeling heavy, and somewhat sticky, but not syrupy. Dare I say, silky. It's the proper descriptor, but implies a little higher quality than I'd call it.
Overall it's good for the price. It's not amazing and it's not got many layers of flavor, but it satisfied me well enough. I did enjoy the yeasty bread taste quite a bit, and the mouthfeel was impressive. Would be a decent session beer if kept at the recommended temperature and not allowed to warm too much.
Not likely to buy again, I've had it in the past but wanted to try again, maybe in several years like I did this time. I might, but whatever.
