Bottle from suttree. Thanks!
Pours a thick, light cheddar orange with a nice, subtle aroma of coriander and lemon. Flavor follows in the footsteps of the aroma but brings along some orange peel. Nice mouthfeel; tingly and lively on the tongue. Refreshing and tasty.

Bright golden color with a thick off-white head. Aroma is citrusy with some cloves, yeast and banana. The orange and coriander come out more in the flavor with spices and some yeast towards the finish. Pretty well-rounded and refreshing. Nice.

Bottle in trade from robbmotiwala. Thanks!
Pours slightly cloudy with a golden color. Small white head. Smell is very wheaty and lightly clove like spicing. Taste is mostly wheaty and with a tart citrusy lemon and orange like tartness. Somewhat mild flavor overall, and with light spicing, but what is there is nice. Pretty drinkable and not terribly complex, but I liked the bit of tartness. Solid.

Nice offering from Sweetwater! Poured a lite butterscotch color. Head reduced to a nice lace. Sweet on the front end with nice mouth feel.

Medium golden pour wiht a nice white head. Smell is witbier esque - has some lemon clove in there and is not bad at all. Flavor is a bit watery overall - a hint on the dishwater side for me - lemon is present - but mostly just water. High carbonation and average mouthfeel overall. Overall, drinkable but a hint on the bland side for the flavor.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy light golden color, with a fizzy white head that disappears quickly, and wet dripping lacing. Belgian yeast aromas, some citrus hops, chalk and clove. Flavors of spicy clove, pepper, that farmy belgian yeast, some sweet raspberry, zest, and a oaty malty finish. Chalky mouthfeel, balanced well, a good representation of the style.

Lots of coriander, very spicy. Hard to get much more - a little pepper here and there. Nice wheaty tang, very drinkable, nice color (bright gold). A little cotton candy sweetness in the flavor. Aroma is slightly sweet and fruity. Thanks to GAManiac for the bottles.
