2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
12 oz bottle. Golden, fizzy pour with a strong, spicy citrus wheat aroma. Flavor is light and crisp but a bit thin, surprisingly so compared to the aroma. Too much carbonation and not enough flavor. Has a bit of a sour finish. Mediocre at best.

Bottle. Sad to see this one go in 2012. POurs a hazy orange color, small white head. Aroma is wheat, honey, light fruits.Flavour is wheat, grass and light honwy. Some nana is there too. Good.

Crystal clear appearance with negligable head and a strong banana aroma. The flavor is mainly orange with banana. Some spiciness and honey.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
Very slightly hazy pale golden pour with a quickly fading white head. Nice aroma of honey and flowers (lavender) and a hint of lemon. Flavor of honey, apple and pear sweetness with a hint of malt (graham cracker). Nice crisp refreshing finish. Light bodied and highly effervescent. No astringency. Outstanding! Another great one from Terrapin ... I could drink a LOT of this.

I am not sure if I got a bad batch, but it sure didn’t taste sweet to me like many reviews state. It had an earthy taset to me...almost grassy. I couldn’t really detect to much on the nose...not much else to say. Not one of my favorites...
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Multiple bottles this summer. Typical summer wheat ale - little hops, fruity citrus smells, nothing unique or unusual here. Good enough for a hot summer day!
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
12oz bottle. Pours a hazy golden color with a medium creamy head, that slowly faded to a ring. Subtle clean and refreshing aroma of light coriander, clove, and bubble gum. Taste of wheat with light spices and a hint of some hops underneath, bready yeast rounds it out with a touch of bubble gum. Nice, creamy texture with ample carbonation.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Pours golden from bottle with just a touch of cloudiness. A hint of bubblegum on the nose. A faint estery note on the tongue. Finishes kind of watery.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Hazy gold with a thin white head; sticky medium-full body with high carbonation.
Aroma: bavarian weizen yeast esters of banana and subtle clove, alcohol, cake-like tupelo honey, pale malt, and a hint of wheat.
Taste: cake-like tupelo honey, pale malt, grainy wheat, bavarian yeast esters, and some alcohol.
I really like how the tupelo comes through with such a cake-like character —it doesn’t have the typical honey twang to it.
