Thanks to Adrian for opening up a bottle of this from batch 7083. I think it is 3-5 years old, but it tasted just fine. A sweet, malty wheat ale. Full-flavored and not light and dry like so many what brews are. Very interesting brew. I haven’t seen any of the others in this series, but I would like to.

Tap. Poured with a hazy honey-amber color and an off-white lacing head. Aroma is fairly weak and blend, mostly yeast, malts. Medium dense body with high carbonation. Well rounded, easy on the palate. It was all right.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Tap. Hazy orange pour with a white head. Aroma is Belgian yeast, clove, and orange/lemon. Not overly carbonated. Taste is similar to the aroma. Very nice beer!
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
This poured a very hazy yellow color with a white head. Aroma was lemon zest, yeast, and wheaty character. Flavor was very light and refreshing, lots of wheatyness character, some yeast, and some lemon citrus notes as well. An excellent wheat beer.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours a hazy orange with hints of wheaty malt, very light clove, and banana. Flavor is tart, light clove, metallic, grass, and lemon. Not horrible for a 3 1/2 year old wheat beer.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Deep copper coloured body with a thin white head. Strong malt in the nose with a tiny bit of hops and nothing else. Light to medium bodied; decemt maltiness up front with some hops and a tiny bit of spice. After taste shows more of the malt and nothing of the complexity. Overall a pretty average beer good to try and recommended as a set. I sampled this 12 oz bottle at purchased at Merchants in Deerborn, MI on 28-May-206.
2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Almost three years old now. A misty, coppery unfiltered orange. Husky wheat, creamed corn, cool metals and some dried caramel sweetness in the nose; nothing too blatantly offensive, but no moments of reassurance either. The lemon, clove and pastry bread qualities of its fresher character are present, and deeply buried under all the oldness.
A wet, metallic and lemony tang in a severely thinned and somewhat soured flavor; still, it remains sufficiently crackery in its malts and prickly enough in its clove and cardamom intimations to suggest an age quite younger than it actually is.
Medium body is crisp and sharp. Finishes on an odd, brisk lemon pepper spice/sour that’s somewhat unreadable. I don’t remember liking it when I had in pre-rating days, and I don’t much like it now; cheers to ticking, and thanks to the want-list fairy named Ken Weaver.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Coudy golden color with a pillowy white head. Smell of fresh bread, lemon, bananas and some clove too. Taste has soft on the banana and clove at the beginning, with a fresh bread and weird orange peel taste in the finish. Low carbonation and full body. Interesting experiment, but I didn’t really care for this.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Drinkable pleasant stuff - it reminded me some of their Winter White. Flavors of banana and a slight touch of spice.
