On draft at the Sweetwater Taphouse in the Atlanta International Airport. Nice hazy yellow pour with fair white head. Banana and clove nose, Wonderful aroma, too bad the flavor didn’t stand up. Funky yeast flavor is a bit off. Cloying finish.

12 oz. bottle courtesy of a trade with GAManiac. Gotta love the slogan "Everybody loves a hummer!" Pours a cloudy gold with a moderate white head that lasted until mid-glass and left patchy lace. Light, somewhat indistinct aroma of lemon and perhaps a touch of spice. The flavor is strong tangy lemon and lots of coriander. Some light orange and banana also detected. I don’t know that I would drink this every day, but its a nice change of pace.

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.
