341ml bottle. Smell is overwhelming coriander, can’t say I’m a fan. Light citrus, yeast and floral sweetness behind that. Poured a cloudy yellow with a moderate foam head that died instantly. Lively carbonation. Taste is again dominated by the coriander, with some lemon, honey sweetness and some floral hops. Body was refreshing. In a word: Coriander. If you like that, then this is for you. Otherwise, not recommended.

pours hazy pale yellow with a small white head, little retention. aroma just reminds me of my introduction to "other" beers. tons of coriander, sweet dusty grassy malts. taste is semi-sweet malts with lemon, honey, light vanilla, and spices. light to medium hopping - grassy and citrusy. soft carbonation, medium body. nice herbal-citrusy finish. nicely done, and cheap!

pushkinwow (739) - Ontario, CANADA - DEC 31, 2011
341ml bottle. Slightly hazy pale yellow with a copper hue, white head that fades to nothing. Lots of wheat , some coriander, belgian yeast, some spice. Somewhat prickly from the alcohol, starts sweet, becomes slightly bitter and dry, fairly smooth, spice and wheat on the finish. Tasty.

VincentL (121) - montréal, Quebec, CANADA - DEC 6, 2011
Une odeur assez florale avec des agrumes. Belle robe jaune brumeuse avec une belle mousse. Non filtré. Un goût un peu ’terreux’ (levure), , un peu de citron, bonne amertume, un peu acide, aucun sucre. Une bière complexe et très satisfaisante.

Kinz (2694) - Glen Allen, Virginia, USA - NOV 13, 2011
Spicy coriander aroma. Hazy pale yellow. Flavor is a match, lots of coriander, in the end this comes off sort of as a big spicy witbier. Nice. Not as good as the original, but nice.

Drake (4803) - Charlottesville, Virginia, USA - NOV 5, 2011
Bottle shared by Kinz at the 16th Richmond Ratebeer Gathering, 11/5/11. Pours an amber yellow color with a thin white head that fades quickly. Spicy aroma with pale bready malts and caramel. The taste is sweet sugary malts, spice, bread, bubblegum and spicy hops. Medium bodied.

Butters (2841) - Richmond, Virginia, USA - NOV 5, 2011
Hazy blonde pour with no real head. A little alcohol hot on the nose. Banana and clove. A little yeasty. blah.
