<i>Draught at Toronado, San Francisco. </i> Clear golden, no head. Papery lightly spicy nose. Sweet and medium, bodied with rounded mouthfeel. Mild and well balanced with notes of vanilla and fudge. Low bitterness. Laid back.

&#40;22oz bottle&#41; Medium off-white head atop lightly hazed apple juice body. Aroma is medium sweet, pumpkin pie &#40;nutmeg, clove&#41;, light orange, cardamom, cinnamon. Taste is medium sweet, orange, nutmeg, some cardamom, clove. Creamy light-medium body, fairly drinkable. Decent beer, but seems like they focused on the wrong season for offering it.

Bottle: GUSHER! Orange color, white puffy head, nice lacing. Nose of spice, coriander, juniper and eucalyptus. Bitter hops in the flavor. Full body, plenty of citrus &#40;orange&#41;. The finish is grassy, floral, citrus, good, vanilla.

Points off for the look of this ale. It’s the clearest, most golden bodied <i>witbier</i> that I’ve ever seen. Nice creamy head and plenty of lacing. The spicy aroma is a bit overpowering at first, but it settles down as the head rapidly vanishes. It’s got coriander and chamomile and ginger and a bit of orange peel. The spices totally define the flavor, as I struggled vainly to find some signs of wheat malt or barley malt or any malt at all. It finishes on a powdery spicy note. One of these was enough for me.<br /><br /><font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp?PlaceID=5585><u>Friar Tuck Wines, Sprirts, & Beverages, Bloomington, IL</u></a><font size=-1><br />

Hazy golden liquid. Two fingers of off-white foam. Mild aromas of orange peel and spice &#40;pumpkin pie mix&#41;. Wheat and what seems like pumpkin as well in the nose. Aromas seems light and green. Light croissant sweetness in the front. Some paper and mild spice of cinnamon, and mace. A white pepper bit in the finish and into the linger. Subdued and easy going. Not many fault for a difficult style. Still lacks some of the wheat characteristics.
