Jul 16, 2008 Poured from a 330ml bottle (best by 02/07/09) and served in a tumbler. This beer poured a very faint straw yellow with an even haze and a lasting two-finger thick head of fizzy white foam. Excellent retention and really nice lacing. The aroma of the beer was made up of strong orange peel and clove, lemon, also some fruity banana esthers. The flavor was very wheaty and esthery. Lots of orange peel, coriander, and clove. The mouthfeel was light-bodied and refreshingly crisp. Way too easy to drink, yet quite flavorful. I’m not a huge wit fan, and I wasn’t expecting much...but this was a really pleasant surprise.

Jul 14, 2008 hazy pale yellow with little head. little carbonation but some depth to body. mild malt component. best component is complexity of the spices with a nice blend of spice and sourness. has nothing on the grand cru though

Jul 14, 2008 Summer and thirst = drinking a Hoegaarden! Or two.. Cloudy pale yellow with a thick white head. Smell of citrus, some yeast, spices and wheat. Taste is very refreshing, citrus, soft wheat taste, bit coriander. Mouthfeel is prickly and rather thin. From tap somewhat softer and less pronounced spice taste.

Jul 12, 2008 Bottle. Pours cloudy pale yellow with a big fizzy white head. Aroma is lemon, hint of coriander. Flavor is citrus zest, crisp wheat body, and a spicy, somewhat bitter and balancing coriander on the finish. Yeast is somewhat understated for the style, and the mouthfeel is a bit watery at times. Refreshing and light, good beer but only average within the style.

Jul 11, 2008 Pours cloudy and very pale greenish yellow with a tall, white fizzy head. Powerful sour aromas with hints of lemon; whatever hops are present are thoroughly occulted. Meyer lemon flavors dominate the palate. Light body, clean finish. A great beer.

Jul 11, 2008 Bottle. Pours a cloudy yellow with stark white head and decent lacing. Nose is yeast, banana, orange and coriander. Taste is very much the same with a tingly, dry citrus finish. Lighter mouth feel. Ok – a little sweet for me.
