bottle from bocky. pours a hazy pale gold color with a small white head that clings a bit to the inside of the glass. aromas of lemon, apple juice, pale malt, must and a touch of wheat. the flavor is the same... red apples with a little spiciness on the finish. light to medium body. dead mouth feel. it is however, tart and suited for desert drinking.

Pours a hazy straw with a nice full white head. Lots of coriander and yeast with some orange in the aroma. There is more orange on the palate and is sweeter than what I expected and is pretty carbonated. This was a lot better than I expected.

12 oz bottle from John’s Grocery. Aroma: Wheat smell, lemony, fruity, citrus notes, touch of banana, sweet. Appearance: Very light see through gold and orange. Small, white, bubbly head that went away quickly. Slightly hazy. Flavor: Light wheat, grassy, crisp, sweet malt, fruity, banana. Palate: Sweet finish, crisp and light. Nice carbonation and not too long of a sweet aftertaste. Overall: Easy and light, good for a summer’s day, refreshing. Not bad, just not my style.

No head to speak of; fully hazy yellow beer. Overwhelming coriandersoup nose, and salty cookies. Sweetish-coriander soup or lemonade, seen the serving temperature. Almdudler or such horror, way too perfumey. Sticky, not refreshing enough. Ugh. Excellent example how a wit ought not to be conceived.

22oz bottle. Pale straw color with a small white head. Heavy yeast aromatics, clove citrus and bubblegum. Smooth candied fruit flavors up front. Earthy wheaten character with a bracing of spiciness. Tinge of sweetness in the finish, with a lingering yeastiness. Mouthfeel is light, somewhat dry.

12 oz bottle courtesy of pepsican. Pours cloudy yellow-gold with a medium white head that has good retention. The aroma is loaded with Belgian yeasts, ripe banana, oranges and something floral. The flavor was distinctly spicy with coriander and cloves set in a citrusy backdrop. The mouthfeel was full and malty but the carbonation was uneven. The finish was long and dry with lingering spices. Overall: I liked this, it would make a great summertime beer.
