Looks and smells pretty cool. Pours golden yellow. Very bright. Smell is heavy wheat. The taste is also but falls flat. Blah. Not offensive but not great

Pours hazy yellow with a medium head. Light aroma is fruity malts. Flavor is malts, wheat, yeast and banana. Not bad.

35,5 cl bottle @ Olutravintola Konttori. Rated on 04.06.2011
Rather wheaty but still somewhat fresh aroma with hints of yeast and fruits. Also some fruity hops. Flavour is hoppy with wheat, hints of yeast, bubblegum and banana. A bit light, but refreshing stuff anyway.

(Bottled, rated 2011-05-25) Opaque orange with a small, fading head. Sourish-lemony nose with oranges and coriander spiciness. Sourish-wheaty malt in the flavor, citrus, yeast. Light, but not watery body. Quite refreshing with low CO2. A nice summer beer, but I don’t see a reason to ship these here all the way from California.

Bottle. Gold with a fluffy white head. Aroma of lemon, caramel, some berries. Taste is sweet with caramel and dark berries, some lemon tanginess and grass.

355ml bottle. High topped meringue of white fluffy foam. There is a haze that swirls throughout the amber abeer as the head slowly settles. Some mild zesty lemon peel aromas and a refreshing flavour that sits well in the mouth. Soft texture and mouthfeel.

Short lasting head on a orangey yellow body. Wheat and yeast on the aroma, wheat in the taste, good carbonation, drinkable though not real interesting.

On tap, pours a clear golden with a thin head, aroma was sweet with some notes of grass and lemon, the flavor is crisp and clean, just boring with nothing special though.
