May 9, 2008 Thank you BDR! Yellow color with no head. Very interesting aroma... sweetish wheat, yeast and very slight spice. The taste I found to be very vegetal. Banana, yeast and a whole lot of bread.

May 7, 2008 Poured from a 22 oz. bottle. Murky, sunny gold appearance. Pasty, sticky aroma of corn starch and syrup, cereal grains, some straw , honey and pineapple. Crusted sugar of burnt citrus fruits. Unlikeable. Flavor is grassy and crisp, with lots of pungent vegetal and earthy flourishes of old noble hops that tend to waft foul tones alongside a too bold alcohol presence. Raging sugars. Citrus perfume. Cheap champagne. Palate is syrupy, coolly spicy, lightly carbonated, reticent; diminishing on a feather of warm honey malt seared with uncomplicated booze. Shying away from cloying territory, favorably, at the very end. Thanks for sharing, Brad!

Mar 24, 2008 bottle by way of kenb... hazy gold colored with a soft white head and little rings of foam. sweet aroma... smells like yeast, alcohol, orange, grass, floral and skunky saaz hops. the palate is on the sweet side and without a whole lot of character to make up for it. flavors of floral sweetness, honey, spice and more skunky hops. spicy alcohol on the finish and throughout. medium body. stickiness on the lips.

Feb 25, 2008 Thanks to bitbucket for the trade. Pours a translucent golden with a smaller bubbly white head that left some lacing. Aroma of grainy cereal malts, mixed citrus, bready Pilsner malt and maybe just some hints of Belgian yeast. Reminded me a lot of a Heller Bock in terms of aroma. Flavor was a lot of the same. Grainy/bready malts, some noble hop spiciness, citrus, some alcohol heat and just a touch of orange and Belgian yeast. Looks like my numbers are just above the average. While not an amazing beer and not really to style. Still enjoyed this one. Didn’t blow me away...but had enough going on to make it worthwhile.
