Batch #8354, bottled March 5, 2008. Poured a slightly hazt orange amber color with a small off-white head. There was a good sweet malt aroma with some spice. A nice creamy texture with good carbonation. Despite the haze, carbonation bubbles could be seen rising in the glass. The taste got slightly dry towards the finish with somewhat of a toffee flavor and a little bit of hops at the end. Being over a year old I’m sure this had mellowed out some of the hops. I’ll have to get a fresher bottle to taste the difference.

On tap at Usual Suspects, Indianapolis. Slightly cloudy, very refreshing, but a little short on character. Good patio beer.

Pours cloudy yellow gold with lots of sediment and a thin white head that disappears. Aroma is wheat and mild citrus. Very tasty nothing is overpowering and also has a good hop balance. Creamy medium body and carbonation. Orange rind finish.

Orange-amber body with a thin off-white head. Spicy, sweet, wheat aroma...nice. Surprisingly creamy mouthfeel with a crisp finish. Crisp and refreshing with some sweet citrus up front and a zest, spicy bite at the end. A refreshing summer brew.

Pours an eggshell white head with lace and a hazy golden body with particulates. Smells of a little zest, spice, and clean. Flavor is clean with zest, grass, and some spice. Clean finish.

I liked this beer. It was a plesant surprise. Amber color. White head. Poured well. Great summer beer. Crisp. Fruity with a hint of banana. Aroma was nice. Overall a good beer.

Bottle. Smells spicy, banana and wheat. Creamsicle color, opaque light orange brew. This beer has a creamy mouthfeel, and a light hop finish. Fizzy carbonation, very refreshing, light, slightly citrusy with spice and fruit notes. I like this beer.

I love this beer. It’s very fruity. Nice spice. Great afternoon session beer.
