3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 coldmeat23 (232) - Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA - NOV 11, 2009
A golden yellow liquid that looks like sunshine in a glass. Slightly hazy. One finger foamy white head that dissolves to nothing, quickly.
Coriander. Tangy wheat notes. Slight hint of orange and cloves.
Wheat taste is dominant. Slight spicey, citrusy notes. Powerful phenol (band aid) taste on the end.
For a very light bodied beer, it maintains a suprising creaminess. The low-level carbonation works for this one.
While I could easily see people drinking many of these on a hot summer day, personally, the phenol taste throws me off. It’s just a bit too much.

Picked up a single 12-oz bottle from Cellar’s Wine & Spirits in St Paul, MN. Pours a semi-hazy golden pale colored brew with an average white head that slowly dissipates to a thin ring. Aroma of golden grain malt, some light orange zest and coriander, a hint of white pepper and some clove. Taste is light bodied, some carbonation with flavors of golden grain malt with wheat, a hint of coriander and some yeast. Finish is light, crisp, some light fruit and a touch of coriander that quickly disappears.

Bottle... poured a beautiful, hazy, golden/yellow with a creamy, white head. Spiced esters and wheat malts on the nose. Quite sessionable with an easy drinking flavor profile. Light fruits and spiced characters. Baked-like wheat malts and an earthy touch of herbs and weed-like notes.

Yet another beer that I wasn’t able to take good notes about. There is only going to be a couple more before I have the notes back - sorry.

A golden yellow color with a white foamy head. A citrus aroma with a little bit of wheat at the end. Citrus flavor with that goes down smooth.

2.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20 scottbeas (4) - Colorado, USA - SEP 25, 2009 does not count
Appearance: unsure about it, didn’t have a very good head. Looks a little like punch. Light and fruity aroma. Flavor has strong start and flat finish. Will not buy this again. Uninteresting, rather flavorless, very dull, flat finish. (kk)

12 oz. bottle - hazy, straw gold, thin white head; orange zest, coriander, wheat and lemons; soft texture, light bodied; crisp, lemon and wheat flavors; sweet, but doesn’t fall into fruit syrup; a decent wit
