Has become one of my favorite beers...very impressive summer brew...medium to dark brown appearance, hints of citrus and clove, with a very pleasant hoppiness to it. If you happen to be in Bethlehem, give this beer a try!!!!

On tap at the brewpub, July 2006. 5.0% according to my notes. Hazy, pale gold/straw colour - looked very like the hefe. But much sharper on the palate - distinctly tart in fact. The coriander is noticeable. Tending towards a Belgian Wit in character, although I don’t know whether there is any wheat in the mash. A bit let down by a thin, rather weedy mouthfeel for me. Not bad though. Looks like the 2006 version was a bit different to the 2005.

on tap-pours a white head with hazy straw color. Aroma is wheat, light sweet malt, citrus, mild hops. Taste follows. OK carbonation.

Very very pleasant palate-wise, with a wonderfully clean, fresh initial mouth-feel and an even, well rounded bitterness to finish. Definite citrus and spice notes which disappeared quickly from the tongue with the cleansing action of the hops.

I really liked this summery beer. It had a nice, fresh spice flavor with coriander and lemon coming out strong. The appearance was good, with a decent amount of foamy white head. I thoroughly enjoyed this one.

lots of malt, yeast and some cinnamon in the nose, coming off a cloudy pale orange body with a slight white lacing. flavor had a good amount of yeast and tons of spices, corriander, pepper, lemon, and a very tangy hoppy tail. a little bit of a hop bite lingered behind, but alltogether, a nice brew.
