3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bomber from Plumpjack. Hazy orangish yellow color with a two finger white head and great lacing. Great wheaty orange aroma with ginger and coriander. The flavor is nice, starting win spices, coriander and maybe clove, moving on to mild malty sweetness, wheat, and blood orange, along with ginger. Medium-bodied with good lively carbonation and a nice smoothness as well. Impressive beer. A bit steep at $18, but really enjoyable.

Shared by Marcus. Pours hazy gold. Aroma is slightly earthy. touch of ginger. Flavor is light and earthy with ginger. And orange. Finish is earthy ginger. Very nice. More saison than wit IMHO.

Bottle from City Beer. Pours cloudy yellow with a large white head and a citrus aroma. There is a hearty pale malt flavor with a fresh orange taste and a pronounced ginger finish. A very interesting brew that tastes like a saison.

Pours a hazy yellow. Aroma is a bit tinny followed by some Belgian notes. Taste is spicy, wheat and a touch of orange. Nice interplay of subtle flavors. Creamy too. As good as the plum beer.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle (#4840) from 12.29.2011 thanks to my girlfriend. Also noticed on the bottle (Batch 354, 012012). Pours with a very murky yellow hue with a slight orange tint. Huge and fluffy, retentive and strong lace bearing, tight nit head. Looks pretty spot on. Aromas are yeasty, phenolic, esters and spice. Mild ginger burn, grainy, bready, rustic. Mild wheat, pepper, very spicy, citrus peel/oils, orange, zesty. Lightly grassy. Vibrant. Flavors are bready, yeasty, malty, a bit sweet. Some phenols up front, but lots
of wheat towards the finish with mild citrus. Any orange flavors are definitely complementary and in the background. Medium phenols, spice and ginger heat towards the front. A bit of a suntan lotion character. Basic and easy drinking. Mildly waxy towards the end. Zesty. Lively bubbles, medium dry finish (somewhat oddly malty sweet through the mid palate). Pretty solid.
