kmweaver (2125), Takoma Park, Maryland, USA Jun 1, 2008 Draft @ Rustico. Pours a hazy, deep golden-straw color; bright white head with good retention and glistening, fine-bubbled lacing; gorgeous, mouthwatering pour. Very crisp, dry, tasty aroma: crackers, soft citrus and yellow fruits, some honey. Medium mouthfeel: crisp, toasty crackers and breadiness and citrus; some light acidity; very crisp and clean and drinkable with a solid, toasty malt core; excellent stuff. Medium finish: toasty malts, cereal, and dry mineral / citrus bitterness; crisp, clean end. Stine (1354), St. Paul, Minnesota, USA Jun 1, 2008 Tap at Rustico. Misty, sunny, bright yellow pour. Clean, sweet tart lemon zest aroma; hints of biscuit, honey, pear and bubblegum. Charming bittersweetness. Zesty earthy sweetness in a lightly gritty grain flavor; soft bitterness and a very bready, calm sugar balance. Needly, herbal hops and a punchy lemony acidity provide counterpoint; a lingering touch of cinnamon bread mid palate. The alternation of bitter and sweet in this example is almost mechanical in precision. Medium body has a crisp and juicy texture; sparkling and soft. Long, wooden bitterness in the finish; refreshing and substantial, showing palapably careful balance throughout. Awesome. wickedpete (569), Lexington Park, Maryland, USA Apr 27, 2008 Slightly hazy, light yellow color with a thick white head leaving filmy lace down the glass. Aromas of grass and hay, lemon, almost acidic in the way it pierces the nose. Flavor is a thick pleasant blanket of light honey, hay, and a medium dry bitterness to clean the palate in anticipation of the next sip. Full but not sticky, finishes clean, and makes for a refreshing treat. ogivlado (2394), Zagreb, Croatia May 18, 2004 Bottled(500ml). -this beer was pleasant surprise for me, hazy yellow coloured with nice white head, taste is very similar to hefe-weissbier, yeasty and fruity with some malt, nice and clear finish TURDFERGUSON (1153), Carrboro, North Carolina, USA Apr 26, 2008 On draught at Rustico in Alexandria, Va. Had a couple with wickedpete and my pops. Good times. The beers pours a slightly hazy golden yellow with a small white head and lace. Nose is light hops, earth, and fresh malts. Flavor and palate are very clean with mild hop flavors. This is a great session beer that I could easily drink all day.
