3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 13/20
Rich, white head. Lots of thick particles floating in the beer which impart a hazy, light amber appearance. Palate feel is full. Taste is somewhat understated, but well balanced. A great beer for sitting on the porch in the summer.

This is one beer I’m always glad to see come out in the summer. A nice blend of a Belgian and American hops and malts that add quality to this brew. Well balance of sweetness, some citrus, and a little spicy hops. Flavor is of wheat. Good 1st beer when drinking more than one for the evening.

Pours a nice light gold. Small head. Aromas of citrus fruits and wheat. A light hop flavor followed by citrus notes, orange mainly. Very refreshing. An excellent summertime beer.

Pours a hazy pale golden color with a 1/2 finger head with a little lacing. Bready and toasted malt character with mild floral hops. Lemon orange flavors. Mildly bitter and mildly sour. Full bodied with moderate carbonation. Sticky on the palate. This is a great beer.

Pours a hazy golden with nice yeast floaties. Little to no head. Very bubbly. Aromas of Belgian yeast, wheat, sweet corn, slight citrus and a touch of lemon peel. Initial taste is sweet, bubbly with a slightly bitter finish. Belgian yeast, wheat, orange, slightly herbal, slightly dusty with a nice hop ending. Mouthfeel is oily but not too bad. Overall this is a solid summer/wheat ale. Easy drinking on a hot day.

Same as the Rogue Juniper Pale Ale, I like it a bit better in flavor but not in smell. Julie doesn’t like at all... of course.

12oz bottle, delicious-looking head and faint floral aroma, great lacing. What summer beer is all about! The hops create a balanced taste, I agree with the "spicyness" in the description. Tastes kind of belgian, but distincly american (IMHO). Prius, eat your heart out at THIS hybrid.

Pours like liquid hay, cloudy and gold. Big banana aroma. Tastes big and buttery but light and fruity. Great beer for a warm day.

This years brew seemed lighter in color than last year. More wheat and less hops in the aroma than I remembered. Overall a solid beer, but seemed to have less character than last year.

Not generally my style, but trying to branch out. Glad I did with this one. Bell’s scores again... Beautiful yellow pour. Heavy carb and small white head that gently laces. Lots of suspended, cloudy goodness. Aroma is not very strong... a bit of citrus and malt. Taste is balanced citrus, fruit, sweetness and wheat. Very fizzy and very drinkable. Again, not a wheat beer person, but this is the 2nd one that’s made my must-drink list (Gumballhead is the other)...
