Dec 30, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours straw color with two fingers of head that quickly settles.
Smell of cloves and a little citrus and banana. The flavor comes mainly from the yeast that brings a spicy clove taste. Has a bit of a lemony aftertaste. Not a big beer but is nice tasting. A little watery with heavy carbonation.

Dec 26, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a cloudy yellow/orange color with a big frothy white head that has nice retention and great lacing. Aroma is strong banana and clove with hints of yeast and coriander. Flavor is citrus with a bit of spice (clove and coriander). Very easy on the palate. Pretty much a solid hefe. Nothing really extraordinary, but nothing bad at all. Solid.

Dec 17, 2008 Bottle from sampler. Pours a clear gold with a small white head. Aroma is of grass, yeast, and soda cracker. Flavor has classic german pilsner flavor, a sort of dry mixture of bread, grass and yeast. Overall, I was impressed that Flying Dog was able to deviate from its usual mixture of floral hoppiness. However, they did not fail to achieve any texture in the body, leading to an overly-clean drinking brew.
