A hazy yellow beer with a small disappearing head. The aroma is sweet and with extreme notes of lemon, but also wheat is present. The flavor is very fresh with notes of wheat and lemon, but a thin body. A fresh summer beer, but too boring for me.

Bottled. Cloudy golden, creamy head. Lemony yeasty aroma. Traces of nutmeg and other spices. Rounded mouthfeel with some wheat character. Indistinct.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Golden, slightly hazy beer with a nice, creamy head. Pronounced citrusy/orangey flavours. At first I didn’t taste the wheat, but I don’t suppose it’s added in big quantities. Contains the mystery spice "Grains of Paradise", whooo.... The American brewers are good storytellers too. A very able thirst quencher on a hot day.

Cloudy, beige, light fluffy head. Footy, bananaish with a light spiciness. Full body. Slightly spicy, a little bit wheaty. Finishes a bit watery but a competent AmWheat.

Bottled at DBF 2005. Clear yellow coloured with a white head. Strange fruity aroma. Watery flavour of fruits and hops. Boring.
