Oct 19, 2007 Pours a transparent deep golden with a thin-lacing froth of white head. Aroma of lightly sweet malted wheat and some light citrus tartness. Body starts fairly thin and effervescent with a light sweetness and a hint of coriander spice toward a crisp, bittersweet finish. Pretty refreshing and drinkable.

May 30, 2008 Bottle... Clear, light yellow ale with a small, creamy, white head. The funky, breadsy nose offers notes of leather and barnyard with pear and banana esters alongside a light clove phenol. Almost medium-bodied with lazy carbonation. Moderately tart and very decently bittered. Mild sweetness with notes of citrus and biscuit. Crisp, tangy, wonderfully refreshing finish.

Aug 18, 2008 03-Jul-08 (750-ml corked and caged bottle, Bottled on 06-Mar-08: Purchased 27-Jun-08 for $7.49 at Holiday Wine Cellar in Escondido, CA) Expectations are easily exceeded with this wheat beer. For starters, light citrus adds a gentle but enveloping tartness that is wonderfully refreshing on the palate. Delicate spices and gentle hops discreetly add balance, complexity and a hint of bitterness. But perhaps most importantly, the lightly bready wheat base is light and airy rather than heavy and stale, which results in a light-medium bodied beer that’s clean and refreshing on the palate. Aromas of dusty hops, tart apples, orange citrus, and a hint of yeastiness in the nose. Hazy, golden body clears up as the sediment drops out. The beer pours a small, off-white head that settles to a thin ring. One of the more unique, interesting, and exceptionally drinkable wheat beers, and having it packaged in a cork-finished bottle seems quite fitting.

May 28, 2007 Bottle (750ml) shared at ’Biegaman’s Summer Gathering’ -- courtesy of biegaman. Pours a hazy dark yellow with a small diminishing white head. Nice aroma of wheat with light spices, lemon, yeast and some honey sweetness. Flavour’s fruity, mostly citrus, with a good amount of spices, a bit bready and yeasty and a mild bitter finish. Medium bodied. Refreshing and easy to drink, a good version of the style.
