2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
UPDATED: JAN 21, 2010 Updating this rating with a bottle I had 1/16/10
Overall Impression:
I didn’t like this one this one as much as my previous rating would suggest. Something seemed just a bit off on the flavor on this one, so I’m going to lower the score accordingly. Maybe this beer is inconsistent? I’m sure I’ll revisit at some point...(2.8)

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Taste 2/9 Bottle. Looks: Cloudy yellow gold with a thin layer of white bubbles. Aroma: Orange peel and clove. Taste: Tangy orange with a dry clove and hop spice finish. Very simple and clean. Low on the wheat. A little metallic and medicinal.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Pale yellow with a big white head. very cloudy, and yet left no sediment in the glass.Most of the head disappeared before the first sip. It was light, refreshing and left no aftertaste. Bland, even for a weizen
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
A bit of a citrusy aroma. Nice cloudy orange-yellow with a good head. This is pretty decent. Light, a small tang to it. Not real wheaty in flavor. A simple but good hefe.
2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
Bottled. Heavily carbonated, sweet and grainy nose, heavily estery; orange peel, wheat, minerals, and stale air (yeast?). Bright yellow pour, hazy with a huge soapy white head. Full-bodied and sharp, tough to get very far without grimacing at stung teeth or insulted tongue (my face must have looked rather funny!). Nasty metallic-acidic tang, there is a nice bit of clove but it’s swallowed up by the sledgehammer uglies.
2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottle. Pours a golden orange body with a white head. Nose is a fruity with coriander, lemon, and berries. Light zest but im hating the finish on this one.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
12 oz bottle courtesy of eaglefan538. Pour is hazed white golden with an out of control fizzy white head. 5 inches at least in my .4 L Kulmbacher glass. Head falls fast with loud crackling - this may be the loudest beer I have encountered. Aroma of earthy hay banana esthers and cloves. Full nose, quite pungent. Taste is big wheat, citric and earthy. Lemon tart citrus sweetness present, even a touch of smokiness. As the beer warms, the lemon really becomes dominant. Palate is medium to full bodied, dense flavors, yet still manages to be slick and drinkable. Interesting palate. Good beer, quite a lot going on, though it is a touch unrefined in its transitions between flavors. Thanks for sending this to me Brian.
