3.9 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Smells substantial, and fruity, in a healthful way. Its appearance is dark but thin. Its taste is bold yet playful. Its palate is fruity yet masculine. Deliciously quaffable brew.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: AUG 11, 2011 Pours cloudy pale orange with a fizzy, quick fading white head. Smells lightly of the wheat and of the 2-row malted barley, but is pretty much not that impressive. Tastes a little sour and maybe a little sweet, generally pleasant, but not outstanding. You can taste the Indian coriander though. On the lighter end of medium-bodied with a thin, flowing texture and a very lively, fizzy carbonation that prickles the tongue, The Last Laugh finishes almost astringent, but after a few mouthfuls it’ll leave you smiling.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a hazy yellow straw color. Thin white head that dissipates fairly quickly. Aroma is moderate with yeast and citrus. Flavor is backed by spicy clove and coriander. Very refreshing. I’m not a big wheat beer fan, but this one was surprisingly good.

Bottle thanks to Soonah. Pours a cloudy mustard shade of gold with tight white head and a lot of initial effervescence. The aroma is quite fruity with rich orange and tangerine hop notes, some apple, peach, and lemon, and a hint of coriander and crackers. The flavor is nice and juicy with fruity hops. Tangerine dominates, with some orange and lemon behind it (this is a characteristic I typically associate with Centennial). There’s a sort of crackery malt behind it, with a good dose of doughy yeast. The coriander isn’t as evident in the mouth as it is in the nose, but it’s there. The finish has a mild hop bitterness that makes it quite crisp. I’m loving the hops in this one. Well done.

From the bottle, I poured this bright hazy straw colored brew into a snifter, very particulate with fluffy off white head. It smells damp and yeasty with a bit of spice. I taste mild citrus with a light toasty bitterness. The spice and yeast contribute a nice lagered palate with a biscuity finish. It tastes a bit heartier than a normal white or light wheat beer. Nice recipe.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle thanks to ericandersnavy. Pour is the oddest looking beer to date for me; opaque but a mixture of cola and pineapple juice. Nose is spices and complex yeast. Not sure what to think of this one, but I did enjoy it.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Clear golden color with a white head. Nice tart wheat, tropical fruit aromas with black licorice. Medium body. Good flavor is mango, papayas, with lightly sweet honey. Tasty tropical treat.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Aroma is light,with notes of wheat, yeast, and spice. Flavor profile is very similar to aroma. Not a bad wheat ale, although seems more like a wit with the spice character.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draft sample at McNellie’s in Tulsa. Called ’Choc Last Laugh’, which should probably be an alias of this beer. Pours a clear, light gold color with a small, foamy white head. Aroma of lemon-lime citrus, vanilla, wheat, grainy malts, and a little coriander. Not really any hop character to speak of. Flavor of lemon-lime again, with wheat, vanilla, straw, pale malts, and floral notes. Light-bodied, with high carbonation and a soda mouthfeel. This really reminded me of a radler. Better than people give it credit for.

12 oz bottle thanks to Bu11zeye. Pours a clear orange color with a medium white foamy head. The aroma is nice; sweet citrus, oranges and yeast. The flavor is similar; unoffensive, clean, coriander, oranges, yeast, very smooth.
