beerguy101 (3548), Newark, California, USA Nov 28, 2004 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. rkuhnel (1199), Eureka, California, USA Dec 11, 2006 Updated: Jan 6, 200722 oz bottle. Poured yellow to orange, with a big long lasting tan head. Nose of citrus and ginger. Nice on tongue with good carbonation. A very nice brew and is smooth and well done. Odeed (1506), Bakersfield, California, USA Nov 28, 2004 picked this up @ hollingshead deli.light ruby color with a small white head.the aroma is full of wheat along with some hops and malts.i was very intregued by the flavor.starts out just like your average wheat,but then some carmel and malts come along at the end.(maybe this is the "zest" they are talking about?)very different and very nice overall. aspidites (1268), manteca, California, USA Mar 17, 2005 Some pikantus like pretentions early on. Nice clove and honey nose with mild caramel. Wheat gives anice mouthfeel soft and round. Some Biscuit and lemon cookie flavors with mild fruitcake like spicing. Clean and dry finish that leaves you somewhat refreshed. jazz88 (2209), San Francisco, California, USA Dec 21, 2004 Bottle of the 2004 vintage. A cloudy yellow orange color with an off-white head. A floral, vanilla, lemon, fruit cake, and banana aroma. A spiced flavor, medium bodied, and a nice surprise.
