DarkElf (2627), La Jolla, California, USA Aug 20, 2005 (Draft: Midnight Sun Brewing Co. in Anchorage, AK) Admittedly not my favorite style of beer, but this is a pretty light and uninteresting example of the style. Very light wheat flavor, mildly spicy on the back end. Light wheat and spice nose, with perhaps a touch of citrus, but it’s not especially aromatic. Thin body, but clean, crisp and refreshing for those hot Alaskan summers. Pale yellow in color, just a bit cloudy, topped by a persistent white head. Meh... Braudog (3463), Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates Jul 17, 2005 Draft sample at the brewery 7/8/05: Very pale yellow with a thin white veil. Lemon-yeasty aroma. Nice tart citric quality without the overt tartness; lemon zest and a light spicy pull.
