2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pour on tap at the brewery, slightly hazy yellow with white head. Aroma brought notes of floral honey, some slight chalk and biscuity notes, fruity peach and apricot and a hint of spice from the hops. Taste is a mix of floral and grassy notes, some slight fruity esters, touch of biscuit, finishes fairly clean.

Tap @ brewery. azy almost clear pale golden in color, with a nose of cereal grain, light caramel, light wheat, and light molasses--which I initially mistook for Belgian yeast funkiness. Taste was crisp and wheaty, with an accompanyment of cereal malt, grassy earthy hops, and a nutty biscuity character. Mild sweetness with a medium finish. Not shabby, just unassertive.
3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Nice brew. Lots of lemon zest and wheat on the nose. Flavor is smooth as hell and tasty. A definitive session beer.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Sample at brewpub - clear gold beer - surprising for a wheat beer with honey - very light and crisp, with a surprisingly crisp and hoppy finish - whereas most ales with honey are overly sweet, this is nicely balanced, with just a touch of honey character to it - moderately floral - clean, crisp finish, with some floral, mildly spicy hops - nothing terribly complex, but quite balanced and approachable - will probably be their big seller once they expand.
