Jun 8, 2006 NB – Single Speed: I tried this a while ago, but I remember why I didn’t like it. It was similar to a witbier in color and palate but cloudier and tasted almost soapy. I guess that was the herbs and such. I don’t know what the deal was with the funky organic flavors but something was definitely slightly off. I think it had potential only it was too strange. The Mothership Wit, which came later, was definitely better. NB is kind of hit or miss with their experimental beers, although a few have been hard to decipher. This one, unfortunately, was a miss for my taste.

Apr 24, 2006 I must admit this was quite tasty, and I am generally not a big fan of New Belgium in any way shape or form. This pours seriously like grapefruit juice, almost white, and very cloudy. Aroma is sweet and tea like, with some really nice background fruitiness, and that is followed by a very pungent hop aroma. Unfiltered and nicely hoppy iun the flavor, with just a hint of chamomile coming in the background. Nicely done.

Mar 8, 2006 Densely clouded, yellow appearance. Fairly clean fruity aroma. Sweet orange, tropical fruit flavor, herb tea, mildly spiced, light breadiness. Nice refreshing blend.

Feb 7, 2006 Had on tap at Hopyard in Pleasanton. Pour from tap was a hazy yellowish color with a nice head. I didn’t get much from the aroma. It has a medium mouthfeel. Flavor was sweet, little spice to it, malty with barely any hop profile. It was drinkable, refreshing in some ways.

Jan 23, 2006 Draft. Pale hazy yellow with a big white head. Yeasty aroma with lots of spice. Yeasty flavor - banana, clove and sweet malt. Drinkable with some complexity. It seemed like a cross between a wit and light abbey.
