4.6 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Tap @ Wedge Brewing Co.
Cloudy, deep golden. Strong! Straw flavor. Crisp grassy hop. Heavy bodied. Dry crisp malt. Very strong! Very herbal hop character. A touch of straw, rich syrupy pils malts. Very bold. Lots of herbal hop characteristics. Overall, it is like an Imperial Pils with Belgian yeast.

UPDATED: NOV 14, 2009 This deserves so much better that a "72" percentile and 3.27 score. This is superlative, spot on for the style, and highly commendable coming from a Western North Carolina brew pub brewery! So good.

Draft at the brewery. A very nice, drinkable brew whose alcohol is well hidden. Smooth with banana undertones.

3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
On draught at the brewer, it pours hazy golden with a foamy head that leaves thick, chunky soap lace. The nose is citric and yeasty, with some hay accents. Flavors are of honey, yeast, Belgian Candi sugars, light phenols, spices and finishing with a touch of dry spice and tiny alcohol. The mouthfeel is round and active, with a smooth body and drinkable palate. Another Wedge winner!
