Pours an opaque, dark bronze color with a velvety short beige head. Very effervescent. Subtly sweet and fruity nose. Flavor is fruity (cherries, apricot, prunes) and leaves a lasting nutmeg aftertaste that isn’t too pronounced which gives this beer a sweet, spicy yet still somewhat bitter quality. Also has perfectly balanced wheat and hops taste which adds to this beer’s full flavor. The palate is rich, effervescent and surprisingly mild for an 8% alc/vol beer. Reminds me of all the good traits of a good hefeweizen and belgian ale combined into one.

Aug 17, 2008 Looks great in the glass - light hazel with mild carbonation, a white head the goes away quickly. Aroma is mild but dominated by coriander, clove and citrus (the 3 Cs you shouldn’t have in a beer). Tastes malty, creamy and thick at first but finishes dry, sticky and slightly bitter. Good, but not my first recommendation.

Aug 11, 2008 Pours an amber-brown with noticeable sediment and a bubbly off-white head that persists and leaves thin lacing. A sour-fruit aroma with some spicy notes. Crisp, bright, very carbonated with a light mouthfeel. Spicy start with some sweet, fruity flavors, something like apricot, amd a slightly sour finish with a lingering aftertaste.
