On draft at brewpub, poured a clear yellow with a thin head, aroma of yeast and hints of lemon, very light and fruity and boring, meh.

On tap at the brewpub downtown. Pours a clear yellow gold with a white light head. Nose of sweet malts, lemon drops and gumballs. Pale lemon malt flavors that are a somewhat heavy handed. So that there is a slight resemblance to a lemony berliner weisse. Smooth body, light and refreshing.

GeneralGao (3545) - Iowa City, Iowa, USA - OCT 4, 2008
Draft at Great Dane (downtown). Poured a clear gold color with a white head. There was a distinct lime aroma accompanied by flower blossom and caramel. Light bodied and sweet with a delicate tartness. Carbonation was on the higher end of the spectrum. Tasted quite a bit like lemon-lime soda. Pale malt with lots of green/yellow citrus and understated Belgian spiciness. Somewhat of a mixed bag, IMO.

phishpond417 (2089) - Madison, Wisconsin, USA - SEP 2, 2008
Pours a hazey bright yellow colour with a large creamy white head. Aroma is fruity, noticeable pear, green apple and clove notes. Taste is nice and bubbly with soft spice and fruit flavors.

Brigadier (1940) - Bloomington, Indiana, USA - MAY 15, 2006
On tap at the Fitchburg location - it looks like 1FastSTi beat me to the punch on entering it as it is new. The lightly carbonated body was a misty yellow with hints of lemons, orange peels and barnyard coming out of the glass. Within the fairly dense (but still not heavy) combination of flavors I picked up orange peels, hay, moist earth, slight hops, honey and a faint sweetness. This was extremely balanced and excellent beer for those warm summer days that will be here soon. If you are anywhere near Madison, try to get to one of the locations to try this before it moves on.

Was on tap tonight at the downtown location. The beer pours to a hazy golden body with a white head. Lots of carbonation. The flavor is quite good and sorta reminds me of a non-sour Jolly Pumpkin Bam Biere. Yeasty, Belgian spicyness, lemon pulp, lemon rinds. Coriander. Wheat? The palate is very creamy, zesty, refreshing. The flavor has hints of saison. The aroma is zesty lemon rind, coriander, grains of paradise. Quite good and very drinkable. I shoulda bought a growler.
