3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
750ml bottle: This one pours a cloudy, golden yellow color. There was a huge white frothy head on it. the head lingers awhile and leaves some lacing. Decent aroma to it. Wheat, citrus and some coriander and other spices. The taste is very good. Good wheat body. Definitely more than a typical wit. Wheat, lemon and other citrus dominate the taste. Some spices, other fruits (banana, other tropical?) in there also. Nice. Another keeper from the Smokestack series.

Bomber. Hazy gold pour with ample white head but little retention. Nose has some faint citrus and plenty of wheaty and grainy characteristics. Not enough banana. Taste was very clean with light fruit but really not a whole lot more. I would like to try this semi fresh next time

Very strong citrus taste. Compared to a blue moon, this kicks a blue moon’s ass. Very faint orange color.

Taste better if you age for about a year. Is a really tasty summer brew. Especially after mowing the lawn.
3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
A nice gold color with a white head that mostly fades. The aroma is dominated by the Belgian yeast with a bit of lemon. The taste is a mix of a typical wit and a sour, both sour lemon and bready yeast.

Pours a thick gold color with a big fluffy head. Fresh citrus, spice and yeast on the nose. sweet malts and citrus fruits with warm spices. Very clean and nice after taste. I would drink this all the time.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
750 ml bottle into tulip, bottled 1-2011; best by 12-2011. Pours hazy golden straw color with a nice 2 finger fairly dense white head with good retention that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Spotty lacing on the glass. Aromas of big banana, pepper, clove, herbs, ginger, wheat, citrus, bubblegum, light bread, and yeast spices. Some very nice and highly complex aromas, with great balance. Taste of big banana, bubblegum, pepper, clove, apple, citrus peel, light herbs, bread, grainy tartness, and yeast spices. Fairly dry finish; but some lingering notes of banana, bubblegum, tart grain, bread, spices, and citrus on the finish for a bit. Medium body and elevated carbonation; with a slightly creamy and slick mouthfeel, with some light prickly carbonation. Extremely smooth to drink; with pretty much no alcohol noticed at all for 8%. Overall this is an excellent imperial Witbier. Great balance of flavors; big complexity; and very smooth to drink for the level of alcohol. Really enjoyed this one.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Golden, cloudy unfiltered appearance. The nose shows herbs and citrus zest. Medium carbonation, but a thick head, heavy lacing. Bright, fresh and delicious. Esters/florals on the finish. Great stuff!
