Bottle @ HjHansen, Odense. Pours hazy golden with a creamy white lasting head and lacings. Nose is spicy and rich of pepper, citrus, ginger and a bit of wheat. Full bodied. Smooth. Spicy taste, a bit one dimensional, but somehow balanced. Fresh and very drinkable.

Pours a hazy golden yellow color with some ripe banana hues and some very pale golden yellow notes when held to a light source. Two finger frothy soapy white head that quickly fizzles away into a thin lasting cap. Visible carbonation bubbling up. Citrus aroma with hints of peppery spice, corriander, bready yeast, orange and lemon peel, lemon zest and subtle floral notes. Very carbonated up front with a bit of crisp effervescence. Slightly bready yeast body that is still kind of light with a lot od spice and citrus flavor that leads into a slightly dry finish. Lots of citrus flavor and peppery spice. Tons of lemon juice, lemon zest, corriander, bready yeast and subtle floral notes. The carbonation of this beer kind of takes away from the other subtle flavors. It is not very balanced with a lot of zesty peppery spiciness, citrusy lemon juice and very subtle bread notes.

Poured hazy lemon yellow/honey orange with a tremendous three finger bright head. The head dissipated to a solid film that stayed firm to the end and left nice lacing. Lemony citrus aromas with tsrong earthy yeast and subtle tart apples. Chewy bready malts were prominent on the palate, with a tangy lemony taste in the background. Some candy sugar sweetness and spiciness finish it off. Highly carbonated, soft on the palate, and a tangy tart citrus aftertaste.

750 ml bottle from Greens on Buford Highway. Light yellow/white beer. A wee bit carbonated. The head was way out of control. Not a bad looking beer, but there is really nothing special going on here. Nice range of spices. I smell a bit of ginger and cinnamon with flowers and honey. I will say this has a very refreshing aroma. Slight kick of yeast in there as well. As said a bit too much on the carbonation. Love the spices, but I think you would have me confused if you to ask me what style is this because I would say spice beer, but oh well. Nice flavor of cinnamon, ginger, honey, and flowers. To me it is not as tart as some of you are saying, but oh well. Overall, just too carbonated. I wish this beer would kick it DOWN a notch. Not very smooth.

Slightly hazy golden with a big but disappearing white head. Strong spicy aroma with notes of coriander, ginger, cinnamon, cardemum and pepper, along with a little citrus. Dryish spicy flavour with a slightly tart edge. Way too much spice.

Pours a very hazy pale yellow with a pillowy head. Nice aroma of mint which was most striking. Flavor is typical of a very high standard wit. Nice and zesty in the mouth with a very dry finish. Excellent wit.
