pantanap (3155) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - MAY 19, 2013
12oz pour at Bridge... Pours a hazy cidery orange and topped with a fluffy creamy white head... Light tropical fruit and banana yeast influences. Nice combination of hops and wheat and yeast with a backend grassiness... Semi-dank green and citrus hop and banana yeast combination of flavors. Clean and easy... Lighter bodied wheat characteristics with a mild citrus hop bent. Easy going with a nice wheat base and an adjoining hop complement. Nice hot day beer. Would have it again.

22oz bottle shared by Kerry at DLD 2013. Mostly hazy gold / orange color. Good thin white head. Solid lace. Nice orange zest in aroma. Good citrus. Medium-plus body. Smooth, creamy carbonation. More tart, tangy taste. nice light belgian-type yeast, saison-like. Solid stuff.

phaleslu (4451) - Cincinnati, Ohio, USA - MAY 1, 2013
22 oz. bottle shared by Kerry at DLD 2013- thanks again, Kerry! Fun label. Pours a cloudy yellow-gold with a small white head. Herbs and citrus, grapefruit peel, wheat, and some sugary sweetness but not much. Light-medium bodied, with a wheaty mouthfeel balanced with some bitterness and moderate carbonation. Maybe it was DLD fatigue, but this hit the spot. I’ll try it again with a normal palate.
