| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 4, 2008 Lovely rose color. Nice aroma and it has a very subtle fruitiness. But it is too subtle for my preferences, and certainly needs a particular environment in which to enjoy it--easily overwhelmed by the food.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 27, 2008 A reddish pink color with a pinkish white head. The aroma is some citrus, raspberries, and wheats. The flavor is herbal and somewhat sour. A doughy presence to this one. Overall this was an ok beer. Walt (2289), Chicago, Illinois, USA

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 30, 2009 Reddish-orange in color with a pink, yes pink, head. Aromas are a little rosy, a little yeasty. Grapefruit flavor dominates, with a souring finish. A little like a sauvignon blanc, with ripe citrus and crisp acidity. Definitely a unique beer -- I’m glad these ingredients are held against a wheat background, not a barley or other malt. The softness of the wheat benefits the delicate flavors.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 1, 2008 It pours light, slightly hazed body with a pale red tint and a short, pale pink head. The aroma is floral (hibiscus, I presume) with underlying buttery malt and a light wheaty tartness. It tastes perfumey, but not in a bad way, with dry spices and a citric fruitiness and tartness. More interesting than enjoyable.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 14, 2009 Big thanks to josarah for this beer. Pours a light red with small pink head. Aroams of citrus, flowers, wheat and citrus. Flavor is slightly sweet flowers with spices and a touch of sourness to it. Dry finish. Thanks! brentfeesh (1042), Gadsden, Alabama, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 11, 2008 12oz bottle. Very reddish-copper color with light carbonation. Fairly clear. A honey sweet/floral aroma with Coriander (?) perhaps. The flavor is lightly spicy and flower additions are believable. A touch acidic which gives it a citrus crispness that sits atop a touch of light Belgian musty yeast and candy. The mouth feel is carbonated and though it initially heads towards musty, it quickly does a 180 and heads towards crisp (almost refreshing). It’s certainly interesting but not an everyday brew.
