3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
On the pour, a magnificently chill hazed golden yellow color, the head is mountainous in size, creamy in consistency, and as it erodes, the lace left behind is a fine cover upon the glass. The aroma of yeast, orange peels, sweet malt, quite a treat for this old nose. Sweet with lots of malt, the top middling in feel to the palate, finish has a moderate acidity, the hops spicy in their persistent bite, dry as a desert bone aftertaste, quite a nice beer.

Hazy gold w. fine head. Aroma is a light, refreshing miex of coriander and orange. Very mild taste, but refreshing version of the style with an orange citrus dominance.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Not as much head as a lot of a head as I was expecting, but it does have a nice dark apricot color. The first aroma and flavor that you pick up is apricot. A good bit of it. That’s followed by the expected wheaty and malty flavors that start to dominate towards the middle of the glass. Some citric crispness is present througout. Very little bitterness or hop characteristics are present. This is an awesome wheat beer. Just so everyone knows, Hennes is a great big bastard. He gives me this stuff (and an Expedition Stout) and expects me not to get jealous of him being able to have easy access to this stuff.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
MIBG Fest: Golden-yellow colour with a tight white head. Aroma and fresh and floral/spicey and slightly soapy, but not unpleasantly so. Mouthfeel is crisp and slightly creamy. Flavour is moderately malty and spicey, and it is a good dry hoppy finish.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle: Aroma was of buttered popcorn. Hazy yellow body with good white head that stayed for length of beer. Had much like the aroma a buttery popcon flavor which was good. Some spicey notes but a decent beer. Somewhat dry on the palate.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
07.17.04 12oz bottle, trade from jsquire. Pours a muddied oak color; very little head. the beer is crisp and wheaty. Backyard weedy. There is a touch of citrus sourness to it and a later hint at bitterness. An interesting take on American wheat. Thanks Jeff.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Finally, another nice wheat ale that I can trust. I’ve been stiffed by wheats in the past, but this one was different. Had the usual suspects of tropical fruits, banans, passionfruit? Also tasted mellowly spiced, cardamom? Nice and clean tasting. Well colored, with a pale yellow color that was a bit hazy, much like banana candy. A nice, pleasant summery brew.
