LilBeerDoctor (1480), East Setauket, New York, USA Mar 16, 2008 Bottle. Poured a light yellow with a small white head, pretty carbonated. Aroma of light fruits (apple, pear, citrus). Taste of the same light fruits also some darker fruits like plum. The taste also had lots of spice that really complemented the beer and didn’t overpower it. A nice blend of flavors. Very refreshing and very drinkable. I loved this! darkguardian (506), Florida, USA Mar 15, 2008 liked this perhaps a little more than most. Bottle courtesy of Knightly Spirits in Orlando (Thanks Alan!) Poured into a tumbler. The smell has a hint of vinegar in it, as well as the traditional apricot smell of a good belgian white. Has a smallish white head thats very fizzy. Very interesting white, its a very crisp clean drink with a ton of carbonation perhaps a bit to much and a strong apple flavor, with a very very faint touch of sour in the finish. Sweet and clean and you can taste the alchol a tad which I find a bit unusual for the style. Well crafted but different, probably one of my favorite whites. Cobra (1060), In a van, down by the river, Maryland, USA Mar 14, 2008 11.2 oz. brown bottle. Cryptic date code on side of label. Poured out a bright but hazy yellow color. Has a thin white head. Aromas are citrus, some bubblegum, tropical fruits. Flavors are of tropical fruits, citrus, vanilla cake.
Decent body & mouthfeel. OK beer overall. jerc (3861), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Mar 14, 2008 2008-03-03. Golden yellow body with a small white head. Very mild aroma, lightly yeasty (6+). Flavour shows a surprising amount of alcohol for a 5% abv brew. Light yeast, very mild hints at citrus. (6+) Average palate is smooth and wheat beer like (3+). Pleasant, but just okay. Bottle at Cambrinus, Brugge Stine (1380), St. Paul, Minnesota, USA Mar 8, 2008 Poured from an 11.2 oz. bottle. Transparent, gold color. Apple juice, with french toast, butterscotch and maple in the aroma; rather strong in sweetness with a comparatively quiet presence of tartness. Very doughy and syrupy. Sharp flavor of brisk green spices and agave, vanilla, and cardamom, with lots of buttery sweetness reappearing toward the finish. Crisp, tart palate that’s a little more full than the typical example; finishes with a bit of vinegar, more sweet butter and apple. Lacking in usual qualities, but still refreshing and fairly interesting. tytoanderso (1382), St. Louis Park, Minnesota, USA Mar 8, 2008 11.2 oz bottle. Odd aroma. Bananas, rubber and alcohol. Quite dry with a touch of dust and agave. Pours light, slightly unclear gold. with minimal head. Highly carbonated. Notes of lavender, soap, rubber, agave, dusty yeast. Odd. Plenty of carbonation with lingering residual soapiness coating my tongue. hellomynameis (794), Mayer, Minnesota, USA Mar 8, 2008 Light golden with nary a head. Light wet aroma of mild wheat. Fizzy palate, maybe a bit over-carbonated. Nice tasting wit, a bit interesting. I’m finidng it difficult to pull out the flavours over the carbonation. Very nice, however. Would be perfect in the summer. pantanap (1323), Chicago, Illinois, USA Mar 8, 2008 bottle from wlv.... pours a clear golden light yellow brown with a thin soapy white head.... aroma of sweet banana and bandaid notes and soft spice.... flavors of an atfirst spritzy body that quickly becomes somewhat sour/citrusy notes which then suddenly deadens.... can’t say i’m much of a fan of this one. it reminded me of a very light cider with sour/sweet notes.
