22oz bottle acquired in trade with DarkElf &#40;thanks!&#41;. 2005 vintage. Poured a medium and lightly hazy amber color with a small sized white head. Aromas of oranges, orange peels, spices &#40;corriander&#41;, and some wheat. Tastes of oranges, lemons, wheat and spices. Tastes on the softer side and I wonder if they would be stronger if this was a fresh bottle. Slightly refreshing none the less.

Hazy bronze pour has a lightly-lacing frothy white head. Light wheat, orange peel and ginger comprise the aroma. Flavor starts with a subtle bittersweet malted wheatiness balanced with a tart citrus and mild earthy pine. An interesting brew, but pretty thin and lacking dominant flavor.

Poured a hazy orange with a large off-white head. Aroma is wheaty, with light citrus and some earthiness. Citrusy lemon flavor. Semi-dry with a light bitter finish.

Orange gold color. Medium sized white foamy head. Aroma is malty and fruity, touch of banana and spices. A medium bodied double wheat. Malts are fruity and sweet. Touches of banana and clove. Smooth taste, nice balance. Touch of orange and citrus. Nice beer, a lighter bodied Christmas beer, but still has all the spirit of a heavier winter ale. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.
