Theis (8349) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - DEC 5, 2006
Bottle at ØLbaren - thanks to Jannik and Bager. Unclear yellow - no head. sparkling, dry, orange, wheat, very light. Too high carbonated - strange wheatbeer - just plain pleasant and drinkable.

thewolf (8247) - Kolding, DENMARK - OCT 2, 2008
Bottle @ Chris_o’s Pre-Beer Exposed Tasting, September 2008.
Pours murky and muddy, pale yellow with a small, creamy, white head. Aroma is wonderfully fruity, melons, grapefruit and lemons. Light and elegant mouthfeel. Flavour, though, is a bit dull. Some good fruitiness and sweetness, but just feels a bit average.

Bottle. Orange blonde, cloudy. tangerine flavor with yeast, clove and some hints of yoghurt. No specific aroma, but flowery hops in the finish.

hopscotch (7288) - Vero Beach, Florida, USA - DEC 24, 2002
UPDATED: MAR 31, 2008 A malty, acrid, citric nose with notes of lemon and grapefruit. Slightly hazy light yellow hue with a small, fizzy white head. Mostly lasting with decent lacing. The flavor is lightly malty with huge lemon notes up front. Acetic with just a whisper of hop bitterness and clover on the backside. Very well-balanced. Medium-bodied with fizzy carbonation and a watery mouthfeel. Short, crisp, clean finish. Very refreshing wheat beer!

bhensonb (7143) - Woodland, California, USA - FEB 11, 2009
Bottle from Archer Liquors. Hazy orange color with a few white bubbles for head. Slightly strange aroma of citrus/wheat. Thin bodied with mild but prickly carbonation. It is indeed fruity. The noble hop spice makes me think of a pommander in a way. I can’t think of a similar beer. Pretty tasty in a rather different way.

MesandSim (7108) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - NOV 1, 2008
A Mes rate: bottle at the Harry vs Wolfman fist fight.
Nabu: ’’A place far, far away, the place where I was born...’’
Bollo: ’’Peckham?’’
Nabu: ’’No, the planet Oberon you jerk off!’’
Hazy gold with a thin off white head. Mellow hoppage with a good grassy character. Nicely balanced. The Belgian and Czech character is quite clear. Enjoyable but no show stopper.
