Rich estery aroma with banana and wheat. Flavor is sweet and mild, with the buckwheat mellowing the sharpness typical of a belgian wheat. Good bread fullness and thick finish.

On tap @ brewery. Cloudy straw/orange color. Lots of coriander/grains of paradise in the aroma. Very yeasty. Very bready character, enhanced by the buckwheat. Can’t quite pin this one down, though

BCTWC 09. Hazy golden yellow with a nice small lasting tight white head. Fruity and spicy belgian yeast in the aroma, fruity ligth lemony kick- and a bit grassy- spicy green peppercorn as well. Moderatly sweet flavor, doughy, wheat-liek with a citrus lemon zest kick, and a grassy spritzy refreshing finish.

Draft, at Nodding Head on 7/24/09. Pours pale golden, topped with a small white head. Aroma of wheat, fruit, Belgian yeast, and citrus. Flavor is fairly sweet, with notes of wheat, candi sugar, clove, spice and white pepper. Sweet finish, with some spice lingering. Medium body, with some syrupy character. Good stuff; really refreshing.
