14oz pint special at Brewsters Oliver. Again with the extrananeous fruit slice - I don't have the heart to educate/berate right now.
This beer appears a slightly hazy medium golden amber hue, with one finger of loosely foamy, somewhat creamy off-white head, which leaves some nice droopy, spectral webbed lace around the glass as things seep away.
It smells of subtle, but noticeable generic navel orange rind, kind of astringent, grainy wheat malt, a hint of indistinct earthy spice, and a mildly floral hoppiness. The taste is much more wheaty - crisp, grainy, lightly crackery, and faintly spicy - with a moderately fleshy, understated orange fruitiness, muddled banana/clove interplay, and soft earthy, floral hop character.
The bubbles are fairly laid-back, just a wee buzz for support, the body an adequate medium weight, and actually quite smooth. It finishes well off-dry, the wheat malt and kind of musty orange fruitiness seeing little in the way of challenge.
Not a bad fruit beer, the orange essence kept at arms' length, where it seems to best prosper. This allows the wheat beer to struts its mostly able stuff, which goes a long way in making this an enjoyable enough summer quaff.
