Nate (2533), Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 16, 2009 From growler courtesy of santoslhalper. Has a nice sweet aroma with mild grain notes and light powdery herbal notes. Bit of a sour tang in the nose. Cloudy pale amber with thin off-white head. Medium body with medium light carbonation. Has some orange peel, light fruity notes and a bit of juniper - though I crave a lot more! Overall a light and refreshing ale with mild finishing astringency. Tasty. dpjuart (670), Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 15, 2009 From Growler courtesy of Jon. Pours cloudy yellow with white head. Wheaty nose with juniper, slightly crackery. Taste is witty, bready with dry juniper finish. Tasty and extremely drinkable, especially for the rarity of the style. Naka (524), Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 13, 2009 From a growler courtesy of Jon. Pours a hazy honey color. A small foamy hint of a head, but not much is expected from a few day-old growler. Aroma is very floral and wheaty. Some coriander and a little juniper. The flavor has a little savory almost goldfish cracker to it. I don’t know, that sounds bad, but it is kind of nice. A dry, bitter, and grainy finish. The body is a lot fuller than I had imagined... almost rich. Not quite as interesting as I had hoped, but pretty solid. jeremytoni (1067), Swedesboro, New Jersey, USA Feb 8, 2009 From the tap poured a hazy straw color with a good amount of head. Nice light spicy flavor with a quick finish. dmac (1414), Toms River, New Jersey, USA Feb 7, 2009 Draft. Poured a super hazy golden yellow with a small whispy white head. Spiced aroma of berries, clove and wheat. Medium bodied with light carbonation. Flavor of berries, grain, lemon grass and light spice. Interesting and drinkable but more suited for warmer weather sipping. adrian910ss (1394), philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 5, 2009 On draft at the brewery. Pours a cloudy yellow caramel with a medium white head. Aroma of sweet cloves, banana and bubble gum. Taste of bubble gum, cloves banana and lemon. egajdzis (3598), Spring Mount, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 4, 2009 Poured a hazy golden color with a small, white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of juniper, citrus fruits, clove, toasted malts, and toffee. Taste of citrus, juniper, wheat, banana, and toasted malts. joshwilfong (769), Cleveland, Ohio, USA Jan 26, 2009 golden and murky, decent white head. estery nose. low carbonation. some sweetness from the wheat and the yeast, but diacetyl at the end makes for a less than enjoyable brew. unfamaliar with the style, but difficult to think this is a good example
