4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Had this one on tap this Friday at Brewer’s Art. Heard a lot of "trash talk" about this one last year. This is supposedly a different recipe. Great tap handle by the way--a modified bowling trophy.
Pours a bright, hazy yellow with a fluffy white head. Excellent lacing and retention. Aroma of wheat, coriander and lemon peel. All those aromas come back into the brew, with either the lemon or the coriander taking main stage as you drink. Flavor profile is subdued and the mouthfeel is light, making this one a great summer quencher. Drinkable on a warm evening, and became an perfect match to a white pizza with borsin, mushrooms and wilted spinach.
1.5 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
Sampled this one after drinking two Allagash Whites which probably biased this rating (although not by much!). Clear, pale yellow with a thin white head (looked like any old BMC product), nose of, well not much, but a hint of citrus, flavor was very weak, just a hint of spice and that is it. Watery, very watery. Just a lousy beer.
2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Straight from tap at BA. Probably my least favorite of the BA beers. Thin, weak body. Smells like banana- straight away. Not surprisingly, my 80 pound asian lady friend totally enjoyed it.

1.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
UPDATED: JUL 26, 2007 Aptly named. On the whole, this was a big cup of doggie bathwater. Sour, eggy, sulphur, cresol aroma. Chemical, esteric, dry, lightly tart, fizzy. Clouded yellow. Nearly undrinkable, didn’t finish. Bad. 2nd DLA trip.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Hazy white, with good aromatics and a sophisticated blend of spice and citrus. Beautiful, well supported palate. (on tap at restaurant)
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Cloudy yellow with a white foamy head with good retention. Faint spicing in the aroma, but the flavor is balanced and refreshing.
