7-9-08 bottle thanks to crizay&#033;&#033; <br /> Cloudy orangish yellow pour with an average fluffy white head. Smell is pungent funk and hefty yeast. A bit too pungent for me and not enough sweetness or fruitiness in there to balance. Flavor is a touch sweet and almost citrisy. It is nice and actually surprising. Thirst quenching and enjoyable. Bubbly palate that somehow works here. Smell is a touch feet-like but flavor is nice and refreshing and gulpable.

bottle. Pours a hazy pale yellow with soft foamy head. Smells citrusy, maybe a little more like lemon than orange, with hints of spice and kind of grainy. Tastes of maly wheat, grains, spice, floral, and some citrus. Balances out some by a little hops. Very good beer.

poured hazy yellow out of the bottle. Aroma was soapy with yeast and sweet banana. Taste is yeast, sweet wheat and medicinal bitterness on the end. Not a bad example of the style.

Aroma isn’t that strong, but has a nice yeasty funk with lemon zest and grassy hops around the edges. Pale straw-yellow pour, curtains of sediment falling while a big white head blooms and fades to leave abundant lace. Flavor is also yeasty, other components are there, but well harmonized with the yeast, raw sugar, gumball, apple cider. A little peppery warmth on the palate, but otherwise thin, but still a really nice wit.

Draft at GL. Pours a golden yellow body with a fluffy white head. Fruity esters of banana, bubblegum, and apple. Some light floral hops with wheat and oats to finish.
