Slightly cloudy golden pee-pee color with small ring of foam, does leave some lace.
Yeast, banana, citrus, baked beans...
Soft, yeasty wheat with banana, hint of spice (very mild clove). Pretty light and easy to drink. Bit of citrus and definitely doesn’t overdo the spice. Moderate medium taste for the style.

Jul 25, 2008 12 oz. bottle from Whole Foods Market Charlottesville. Pours a cloudy white-yellow with a small head. Nice yeast aroma with hints of stone fruits and caramel. Taste is wheat, banana esters, bubblegum, yeast, spice. Very light texture and taste. Pleasant.

Jul 12, 2008 12 oz. bottle pours a cloudy light lemon yellow color with tight white head that leaves a delicate lacing when it dissipates, which it does rather quickly. Aroma is a yeasty citrus bouquet. Coriander is evident but not overpowering. Front palate is crisp with a bitter orange peel, middle is malty and finish has a buttery popcorn taste. Low hops taste. Easy to drink and nice in hot weather. Medium to light body makes it too easy to drink quickly, but it’s a tasty one. This would be a nice accompaniment to a spinach salad with bleu cheese and dried cranberries or apricots.

Jul 6, 2008 Pours clear and very pale with a thin, fizzy white head. Pleasantly pungent sour apple aromas with little to no hop bouquet. Really big, almost lambic tartness up front that fades a bit too quickly. The body needs a bit of a boost as well. Short, dry finish.While the claim is that this beer is unfiltered, its clarity and relative lack of body indicates something untoward is happening to the brew.

Jul 6, 2008 bottle. Very disappointing appearance- pours a pale yellow with little to no head... fizzy half inch bubbles up then clears super fast. Weak aromas of oranges, spices, and some yeasty twang. Flavors continue the disappointing trend... weak notes of spices and coriander, some sharp belgian yeast, and a middling grainy maltiness. Palate is average, though with the weak flavor the palate never really comes into play. Watery and thin. Overall pretty disappointing.

Jul 6, 2008 Bottle. Super pale in color. Aroma had occasional hints of yeasty goodness, some light spices, but esters were weak (some lemon), and in general the aroma was nothing special. Flavor improved the spice aspect of the brew and added a nice sweetness to the lemon characteristic. Refreshing, but still oddly thin in the mouth. A bit odd, but decent.
