3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Sample at the brewpub on 8/7/10. Pours clear yellow/gold with a thin white. Trying to get past the cucumber nose and flavor from the cucumber slice that was on the side of the glass. Getting light malt in the nose and a bit of hop. Malty flavor with light hops and a bit of creaminess. Didn’t detect the wasabi. The bartender told us it was pretty subtle. It was either that or the cuke completely masked it. Anywho, I was horrified of trying this beer and it wasn’t too bad.

3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Yellow orange in color... Unremarkable aroma.. Flavor is initially sweet citrus with hints of spice and bitterness at the finish which presumably must come from the wasabi... Interesting beer, worth a try...
3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Tap at the brewpub. Served with a cucumber slice. Pale gold color with a fine white head. Light aromas of pale malt and something that could be wasabi. Medium body with creamy carbonation. Flavor is mild floral hop over malt, and there is a warming that seems to come in the blood. A hot spice builds slightly into the finish. Good for washing down lightly spicy food. Taste was reasonable. I enjoyed it.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
16 ounce sample on tap at the brewpub. Some cereal-graininess present in the nose. There is a bit of spiciness present, which is presume might be wasabi. The spiciness is also very reminiscent of Noble hops. Strange mildly hazy straw color with some light tan hues present. Small white head. Starts a bit astringent. Becomes a little spicy and crisp with perhaps some of the wasabi coming through? Milky malt chewiness present in the middle with a little more astringency after that. Different, not overly bitter. Not bad. Not memorable, either.
