First taste 6/2/07. Had this with a grilled burger for dinner. Pour is a cloudy yellow-gold with a small white head. Aromas and flavors are of orange peel, yeast and spice. Very similar to a Hoegaarden, but not as heavy on the coriander, or flavor in general. Slightly better body than the Avery White Rascal, but not as flavorfull. Overall, I found it to be refreshing on a 90+ degree Florida day, but I was hoping for a little more "punch" of flavor. Somewhat disappointing in this respect. I’ll put it on the list to give it another try in the future.

Sep 6, 2008 I’m not too impressed with this one at all. Maybe it’s just the style that I don’t care for. While not unpleasant, this White is quite boring with no real character to speak of. Flavor is what you’d expect; Wheat, lemon, and a little pepper. I will finish it easily, but will not be buying again. Will have again only if offered for free.

Sep 4, 2008 Bomber from the rip and run. soft nose of lemons arise from this hazy yellow pour. A dense white fluffy head sits proudly upon the pillar of yellow haze. Body is loght and crisp with corriander and cloves. Citrus sueeze is a skash more intense than the spice that leads to a nice balanced sour finish.

Sep 3, 2008 Not much aroma. Poured with a light, fine, white head and a bit of lace. Hazy yellow color. A bit citrus. Kind of indistinct. Sort of crisp. Ok beer. Don’t pick up any of the spice. Not a bad finish. What finish there is though, is short lived.

Sep 2, 2008 Bottle. Very nice appearance large head and hazy body. Aroma is nice with bananas, bread, and pear. A bit fizzy but nice finish. One of the best white beers I have had.

Sep 2, 2008 12 oz bottle generously given to me by Gregis. Pour is hazy straw yellow golden with a one inch perfectly white head. Nice full lacing. Only a few tiny carbonation bubbles slowly float to the surface. Aroma of spicy perfumed wheat, slightly sour citrus and soft yeastiness. Soft and fresh. Taste represents the nose quite well, with clove spice wheat, citric sour lemon and a great grainy yeastiness. Some black pepper in the finish, which lingers nicely. Palate is medium and mouth coating, full taste, yet still clean and refreshing. This was a gem, thanks Greg.
