UPDATED: FEB 5, 2012 Pour out of 375 mL bottle, big thanks to Caleb and Jeff/Bacterial for the pour. Nice hazy yellow pour with nice white head, aroma has notes of biscuit, yeast, slight bready lemon, hints of oak, toffee, nice pils malt. Taste is a nice mix of slight oak, biscuit, some slight toffee, slight yeasty notes, finishing fairly dry. Nicely done.

Batch 23 sample at Central Waters release party. Hazy and a tad more yellow-amber than the original version. Aroma of citrus, acidic tang, light vanilla, mild spice, and faint oak. Flavor is tart lemon citrus, some spicy hop bitterness in the middle, and vanilla and light oak in the finish. Carbonation makes palate slightly creamy. Crisp tart finish. Only slightly better than original.
