Dec 26, 2008 750 mL into Aventinus glass. Pours a cloudy bright golden with a huge white fluffy head that barely goes down leaving great lacing. Looks like a hefeweizen but smells like an IPA- lots of bitter orange, grapefruit, spicy and herbal hops, and yeast. Taste is like a saison and IPA blend with tons of citrus, spice, white pepper, Good creamy mouthfeel with little warming alcohol. Totally amazing in every way.

Dec 22, 2008 Bottle shared with blankboy, jerc & mabel - my bottle courtesy of rudy. Slightly hazy golden with a small persistent white head. Aroma - awesome! Herbal hops, medicinal (hint of band aid), yeasty and spicy, verging on being a saison. Full mouthfeel. Flavour is a complex combination of spicy/herbal notes, pineapple and other tropical fruit, coriander, yeast and citrus. Stellar!

Dec 17, 2008 750ml bottle. Sweeter cream of wheat. Spicy hops. Banana yeast esters. A slight hint of rubbery phenols. A bit of white pepper. Dawn dishsoap. The citrus hop aromas really develop as the beer warms up. Pours a clear, orange/gold with a thick, bright white head. Flavor is creamy/sweet, spicy and citrusy. The yeast, wheat and hops come together quite well. Slightly spicy with plenty of zesty citrus and creamy wheat. Medium bodied. zesty and lively carbonation with a lasting bitter and creamy finish. Thanks Jonathan!

Dec 16, 2008 750 ml. Hazy medium yellow body below a huge, pillowy off-white head. The aroma is spicy with notes of all-spice and clove. Also notes of orange, citrus, lime and banana. The flavor is moderately sweet, moderately bitter and lightly acidic. The finish is moderately bitter and moderately sweet. Medium body and smooth texture with a lively carbonation. Interesting with nice spice flavors along with chewy wheat. Sweet, but not cloying and nicely balanced with the hops.

Dec 15, 2008 <i>750ml bottle:</i> Golden straw color with a soap bubble, big head. Very punchy hop and spice nose. Citrusy lemon and orange notes pair well with a variety of spices. Allspice and lime leaves come to mind. A healthy dose of ethery alcohol appears as well. Thick and chewy for a wheat, the body offers more in the spice department. Lots of wheat to chew on. Finishes with a mild bitterness and push of alcohol. Complex and good.

Dec 11, 2008 Bottle courtesy of eaglefan538. Real good floral aroma on the nose. Hazy gold body with white sustaining head and good lacing. Lot of flavors citrus at first. Then sweet sugar pepper and spices are in the mix. A sweet pepper aftertatse left on palate. Good brew after a night at work. Should sleep like a baby today.

Dec 5, 2008 Sampled from a 25.4 oz brown bottle this beer poured a hazy orange-amber color with a large yellow-white head. The aroma was a lovely complex mix of fruit cocktail and a hint of spice. The flavor was richly complex blend of strong sweet and tart fruit cocktail, with light dry spices underneath. A tart spicy and fruity finish lingers forever. The body was sweet and full. Wonderful.
