A: cloudy; pale gold in color; 1 finger finely pored white head that receded to a wispy cap; no lacing;
S: a really nice well balanced combination of blood orange and bergamot;
T: balanced between blood orange and bergamot for a moment, then bergamot is predominant through the finish; the fruit flavors are natural - not artificial; by the end, the blood orange is gone altogether; no bitterness;
M: light to medium bodied; moderate carbonation; lightly dry finish;
O: thirst quenching; more fruit flavor than many other fruit beers;

Very little nose. Light drinking with citrusy aftertaste. Good summer beer.

A: Pours a lightly hazy yellow color with 2 fingers of head that fades down to a thin cap
S: Lots of vague yeast influence along with some of the blood orange and bergamot
T: Follows the nose. Starts off with the yeasty notes and goes into the blood orange and bergamot. Finishes with lingering yeasty notes
M: Light-medium bodied with moderate carbonation
O: Much like their other UF Offerings, this one has a really strong yeast presence and character throughout. Very easy to drink but not too much going on aside from the yeast influence

A: Pours a lightly cloudy pale to medium golden yellow in color with moderate amounts of active visible carbonation rising quickly along the edges of the glass and moderate lemon yellow highlights. The beer has a two finger tall fizzy foamy white head that reduces to a large patch of thin film covering the entire surface of the beer and a thin ring at the edges of the glass. Just shy of moderate amounts of lacing are observed.
S: Light aromas of banana + clove (from the yeast) over the top of light to moderate aromas of wheat malts with just a hint of citrus/orange.
T: Upfront there is a just shy of moderate flavor of wheat malts with minimal amounts of sweetness. That is followed by light to moderate flavors of banana + clove from the yeast and there is a light flavor of citrus/blood orange and citrus/bergamot. Minimal amounts of bitterness in the finish which fades away quickly.
M: Light to medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Crisp.
O: I was hoping for a little more intensity in the presence of the citrus - easy to drink and enjoyable with well hidden alcohol.
