Slighty cloudy golden. No aroma. Taste is bitter grains, honey, slightly metallic finish. Medium body.

Draught. Head is mostly diminishing. Body is medium yellow. Aroma is lightly malty (grain), lightly hoppy (flowers), with a light note of honey. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Light to medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. A pretty boring wheat beer, not much to say.

Tap. Pours golden honey with a thin white head. Wheat, honey and faint hop aroma. Wheat, honey and malty flavor. Fizzy and light bodied palate, refreshing.

a bit of a girlie beer so my friend terry liked it when we visited the brewery although he was more impressed that they had a chessboard at the bar. unfortunately they didn´t have the full complement of pieces for the game but a win is a win and i´ll take it. the beer was pretty light, not way honeyed, surprising lemon rind tartness

Aroma is herbal, clove, floral - like a perfume, but not overpowering. Body is thicker than I thought it would be. Sweet malts and citrus tang, some honey, but not much. Finish is dry, but the body was a little too syrupy to be refreshing. On tap at the Ft. Collins Brew Fest 2004
