argo0 (5871), Washington DC, USA Jan 27, 2008 (12oz bottle, thanks kmweaver) Medium off-white head topped by cloudy amber body. Aroma is medium sweet, Belgian yeast, Bret-lemon sourness, some wheat. Taste is mild sweet, Bret, lemon, some floral, wheat, yeast. Dry light body, light acidity, fairly smooth. Unusual, and quite enjoyable. acrdz (3892), Pennsylvania, USA Jan 30, 2008 12oz bottle shared by kmweaver. So this is a wheat lager made with a Belgian yeast - at least it smells and tastes that way. Pillowy, perfumy and mildly spicy yeast all over this thing, it smells pretty nice and tastes even better. Strangely delicious, with pepper, tart wheat, orange peel and coriander, though it’s perhaps a little too syrupy in the finish. Nephilium (382), Ohio, USA Oct 6, 2007 Slight sweet aroma, with a hint of tartness lurking inside. Pours a clear amber with a small white head. An interesting combination of tartness and bitterness make this a very refreshing drink, very short finish. Something I’d like to have on hand. Ughsmash (2615), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA Jan 17, 2008 Thanks to Nathan for the bottle! Poured clear, brighter golden with a tall, fluffy cap of white head and lots of rising carbonation. The aroma picked up bunches of dusty, peppery yeast, lemon zest, and floral.. sour and engaging. The flavor began with tangy sour lemon on the tip of the tongue, with bread and wheaty notes across the middle, never losing the sour lemony notes.. short, dry finish. I thought the sourness was an interesting twist.. lighter-bodied and grainy on the palate. Very solid stuff! kmweaver (1577), Takoma Park, Maryland, USA Jan 26, 2008 12oz bottle, courtesy of Brigadier. Thanks, Nathan! Pours a cloudy, golden-orange color; white head with medium-bubbled lacing. Some pleasant, ephemeral tartness in the aroma: wheat, pepper, and a dense yeastiness. Medium mouthfeel; solid citrus tartness, yeast, and wheatiness; a bit of dustiness creeps in as well, but overall a very drinkable, mildly tart wheat beer. Medium finish, showing dust and tart citrus and some breadiness at the end.
