SPicy citrus and malt, wheat biscuity nose and that slight hint of orange peel, very European in taste and flavors. Nice nose and a great semi-sweet some what dry finish.

This beer has an orangey aroma and flavour, like a witbier, but has a very clean taste and some corn-like aftertaste, making it something between a belgian witbier and an american wheat. A very nice drink.

Draught at the brewery. Beer is murky light gold with a small, frothy, creamy, white, diminishing but mostly lasting head.

The aroma is malty with a moderate note of toasted bread; Moderate note of lemon zest, light herbal/lavender note; Yeasty with a light note of dough; Moderate note of orange zest, light note of coriander.

The flavor is lightly/moderately sweet, lightly acidic with a longish, lightly acidic, lightly bitter finish.

The body is light, the texture is watery and the carbonation is lively/fizzy.

Engaging and hard to put down.

Nice golden yellow, slightly murky. The smell is of spices. The taste is smooth, refreshing with nice spice addition. Excellent unique beer.
