Kleg (2050) - The Beach, Florida, USA - SEP 28, 2021UPDATED: SEP 28, 2021 12 oz. can from Total Wine, Scottsdale, AZ. Pours a crystal clear medium gold color with an off white head and good retention. Spotty lacing. Orange citrus aroma. Sweet, natural orange flavor with a light wheat base. Juicy, not cloying. No bitterness. Super smooth and refreshing. The added vanilla flavor is perfect. Crisp and clean mouthfeel. Light body. Great beer.
benazfanboy (65) - - MAY 28, 2021UPDATED: MAY 28, 2021 Opens up with malty, banana-like character on nose. The orange is in there, but it's light. You have to dig for it a bit. The orange is like orange peel. The palate is similar light banana bready and orange flavors are mingled together. On the back end, there's a slight hop bitterness. This is a perfect brew for a hot day in the Valley of the Sun. It's sessionable I'd like to think. Would I buy again? I think so

oneil (18) - - JUN 13, 2019UPDATED: SEP 9, 2019 Light orange aroma with a nice refreshing lingering citrus taste throughout, a great beer for a hot day
Oakes (26757) - Gibsons, British Columbia, CANADA - SEP 18, 2018Can. Hazy orange colour. Thin head. On the nose, this has more of a creamy vanilla and malt sweetness, cookieish. Soft body, just a touch of orange. Decent body for this type of beer, does have that sort of creamsicle note, because of the vanilla, but I'm definitely wishing for a bigger orange character.
AWISLguy (5965) - Wisconsin, USA - JUL 19, 2018On tap in the Phoenix Convention Center. Oranges, sure, plus another tropical fruit flavor, papaya(?) on a sweet caramelly malt base. Perhaps some vanilla, but sure tastes caramelly. Sweet finish. 13.1
JStax (10651) - Devola/Marietta, Ohio, USA - JUN 22, 2018Draft sample. The beer is a clear yellow with a white head of foam. The aroma has creamy coconut and orange notes. Sweet and citrusy. Medium body and medium carbonation.
superspak (9600) - Greensboro, North Carolina, USA - MAY 26, 201812 ounce can into tulip glass, no can dating. Pours lightly hazy/cloudy pale golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger dense white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of mandarin orange, vanilla, cream, pear, apple, wheat, cracker, white bread, light honey, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of orange, vanilla, pale malt, and light earthy hop/fruity yeast notes; with solid strength. Taste of mandarin orange, vanilla, cream, pear, apple, wheat, cracker, white bread, light honey, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness. Very mild herbal/grassy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of mandarin orange, vanilla, cream, pear, apple, wheat, cracker, white bread, light honey, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice robustness and balance of orange, vanilla, pale malt, and light earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; with a solid malt/bitterness balance; and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Minimal dryness. Medium carbonation and body; with a smooth, creamy/grainy, and slightly sticky mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5%. Overall this is a good flavored wheat ale. All around good robustness and balance of orange, vanilla, pale malt, and light earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the minimally bitter finish. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Very well balanced between all flavors. The creamsicle thing is pretty spot on for what they were going for. Underwhelming, but nicely enjoyable and well made for the style.
