3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: APR 15, 2008 37.5cl bottle: Brilliant, crisp gold color with white, lareg-bubbled head that doesn’t stay around too long. First aroma is of skunk but it quickly blows away leading to a nice earthy and musty cellar aroma wit cork and vinous characters. Slight rubber or band-aid but not to an off-putting degree. When this lively liquid hits the mouth and flows over the tongue, you feel that the beer is going to be slightly sweet, but this is kicked out of your mind with a nice bitter twang. Some pineapple, citrus, pepper, bitter orange peel, and a sharp raw wheat, followed by a little malt and a lightly metallic sourness. A very nice dry warm weather beer!

2005 Bottle. Beautiful hazy pour with a big head that took me the better part of 10 minutes to pour 2 glasses. Aroma is very yeasty, doughy, and smells faintly of orange peel. The yeast is really upfront, with a champagne like dry finish, peppery in the middle.
