puzzl (2579), New York, New York, USA Sep 15, 2007 Bottle from BBB Sixty Three. Grainy, husky aroma, slight lavender, coriander, rye. Cloudy pour, good head that dies off. Very slightly tart, grainy flavor. Very husky, much like many of Bells Wheat series offerings. I can’t help but think that those recipes were a building block of this beer. Really not that much complexity, and it’s tough to put down. Simply is not that exciting, and as a 1k batch series, extremely disappointing. Bells 1k batches have previously been incredible, and this one simply can’t stand up to those in the slightest. Time to start waiting for 9k, I guess. twindadplus2 (408), Wisconsin, USA Sep 15, 2007 On tap at the Landmark Inn. Orange/tan color with a tight, white head. Spicy aroma with bananas and citrus. Flavor is sweet with cloves and citrus with a slight kick of spice and sweet malt. Full bodied and smooth with a nice finish of spice and alcohol. Magjayran (1379), Durham, North Carolina, USA Sep 15, 2007 Pours a very pretty orangey gold color. Nice white head. Slightly hazy. A tad lemony in the aroma with a bit of sweet banana and a touch of spice. Lively carbonation. A bit of honey at the finish. Nice stuff. Aggie80 (708), Michigan, USA Sep 15, 2007 Golden hazey color with good white foam and some lacing. Spices dominate the aroma with an undertone of banana. Flavor is nice with a smooth mouth feel. Good stuff! cmr1517 (35), New Haven, Indiana, USA Sep 14, 2007 hazy golden orange in color, smell of malts and fruit. Sweet in flavor and hides the alcohol very well. Taste some cinnamon and nutmeg Goblincat (356), Westland, Michigan, USA Sep 14, 2007 Pours a nice looking hazy yellowish-orange. The aroma is a very light sweet banana. The taste is a pleasant combination of orange, clove, wheat, and spices. The alcohol is well hidden and overall the balance is pretty nice. Ty5592 (1015), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 14, 2007 Raced to Capones after work to pick this up....should have taken my time. Thick and orange with small head. Spicy aroma with sweet honey noyes. Tased like Golden Monkey on steriods. A soild beer, but nothing to rave about. jobyone (234), Charlotte, USA Sep 13, 2007 Pours nice amber color in goblet glass with off white head. Some sweetness in the aroma. Taste has definate honey sweetness balanced with the orange peel. This was quite tasty with nice aftertaste with spice. glad to have found this sorry it will only be brewed once.
