11.2oz bottle, poured a orangish gold. Nice head that dissapated relatively quickly. Strange mix of flabors, wheat, pinto beans, toasted malts, vanilla and a hint of citrus. Bottle says its brewed with lime blossoms... whatever. Not the best blonde I’ve ever had, but OK.

Bottle, Cambrinus. Witbier haze with a dissipating white head. Watery pine, swill of rusty can, beans, honey and lemon aroma. Yeasty Twiglet notes, hops without edge or spike, no finish or bitterness. Bit of a weird beany toasted wheat and wholemeal N/A feel to it. Hit the nail. Strange and empty.

Bottled sample via lubiere. Gold in colour with strong spritzy carbionation. Aromas of lemon sponge cake, yeast, and a bit of earth. Yeast and pale malts are the dominant flavors, along with some pear, vanilla, hay, and icing sugar notes. Fairly dry on the finish, with a bit of a sour twang. Lots of complexity and fairly drinkable too.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20 durhambeer (2028) - Durham, North Carolina, USA - SEP 29, 2008
Bottle from Bruisin’ Ales. Hazy deep golden pour with generous white head. This one’s a definite oddball. Doughy east, citrus, earthy bitter grass/leaves/twigs, and an unidentifiable funky smell and maybe some lime peel? Similar on the palate, with a key lime peel bitterness and a very dry finish. Odd and not entirely pleasant taste.
