alobar (1006), Harleysville, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 13, 2008 Thanks to RomanW70. Pours a cloudy wheat color with a hops, lemon, and grass in the aroma. Taste is lemon, wheat with a mild hoppy ending. Very different and very enjoyable! Sammy (3934), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jul 12, 2008 They aimed to do a weizen bock with extra hopping, and did so. Interesting and smooth. A nice bitterness. Medium mouthfeel, the wheat aroma dominates and is the initial taste. After that the bitterness overwhelms the palate.I can’t wait to try the Brooklyn version. radiomgb (1920), Peterborough, Ontario, Canada Jul 12, 2008 Hazy orange in colour, insanely large off-white coloured head with excellent retention and lacing. The aroma is very lemony with lots of wheat, citrus, yeast and must. The flavour is of pepper spice, yeast, lots of citrus, wheat, grassy, soft and creamy. Yeasty mouthfeel, medium body, medium/high carbonation. Finishes with a light peppery spiciness with lots of yeast.
This was very good, extremely refreshing. The final pour from the bottle brought on a fantastic murky brown colour with some hops becoming noticable at the very end.
500ml bottle obtained in a trade with kmweaver, thanks Ken.
Opened on February 17, 2008.
No date.
UselessGdTaste (363), Long Beach, California, USA Jul 10, 2008 Unique and exactly what I expected. Hoppy and heffey. They actually compliment each other better than I thought they would. Still pretty fruity though. I found it to be surprisingly refreshing. ogivlado (3036), Zagreb, Croatia Jul 10, 2008 Bottled(500ml). -RBESG2008, Grand Tasting.
Hazy yellow/golden coloured, medium sized white head. Aromatic fruity and wheaty aroma with obvious hops presence. Mild bitterness and fruity finish. oh6gdx (8798), Vasa, Finland Jul 10, 2008 Bottled. Hazy orange colour, small white head. Aroma is sweet apricot, grass and yeast along with some mild hoppyness.
