3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Sampled at the ’09 RBPTE, courtesy of FROTHINGSLOSH. Average malt sweet aroma with wheat, citrus, bubblegum, and coriander. Mild yeast notes. Hazy light amber body with spare frothy white diminishing head. Light watery body with medium carbonation. Nice wheat ale/weizen flavor, with fairly heavy sweet taste and light bitter/acidic finish. Nice wheat.

This one poured a cloudy yellow color with a white head. Aroma was lots and lots of yeast, and some banana in there as well. Flavor was much like the aroma, just a mouthful of yeast, some banana and spices, clove and ginger in the finish.

Had this one at the RB Pittsburgh Tasting. Scent gives me hints of banana and a clovey character. Pour wasn’t spectacular, but I adjusted for this in the curve due to the small pour. Taste is banana, some spice, little clove. Better than the scent led me to believe it would be, and I am not a huge fan of the stle. Mouth is great with a medium thickness and a high carbonation.

Majestic thanks goes out to FROTHINGSLOSH for this special brew! Had the pleasure of sampling this at the 7/9/2009 Pittsburgh RB tasting extravaganza (PGHRBEXT) at the Sharp Edge Creekhouse. It will be a long time, if ever I see a spread of bottles like I did there. I am not good enough for the beers that were that we served! For example, how about this beer; celebration wheat! Smells rather wheaty and yeasty, perhaps even a little volatile. Looks like pale lager with lots of sparkling going on in there. Quite strong for a wheaty. Seems to have an alky content that is quite high. Definite ale attributes. Not bad overall. Carbonation is bubbly and appreciated. Thanks froth for the chance to taste this rare beer.

Overal nice and smooth and drinkable. Cloudy golden with a small head. Aroma of banana, clove and yeast. A bit bready flavor, solid.

Bottle at BCTC 2009: Hazy golden with an off white head. Musty German yeast aroma with a clove note. Creamy mouth feel- some earthy wheat flavors and dry yeast phenolics giving off some clove character. Feels German. Decent.
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle courtesy of kramer. Pours a hazy golden straw color with a small white head. The aroma was moderately fruity, grassy, yeasty, doughy, citrus with just a hint of banana. The flavor was bready, grassy, light fruit, yeast, lemon zest, with light spices. The finish seemed a bit strange and on the dry side.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle thanks to kramer. Pour is very nice looking cloudy copper with a quickly dissipating bubbly white head. Aroma is pineapple, champagne, black pepper, apricots, and wheat. Mouthfeel is very effervescent with a light body. Flavor is banana, pineapple, and pumpkin with a hint of black pepper. Finish is lingering old wheat, hint of chemicals, and a slightly off fruity flavor that I cannot identify. Beautiful looking beer with a very bubbly mouthfeel. Initial flavor and aroma are wonderful but the finish is a bit off. Thankful to have had the opportunity to this one, thanks again kramer.
