Wow! A delicious blond beer: Well-balanced, a bit spicy and hoppy up front, nice mid-palate with great texture and dandelion or wild clover flavors, smooth aftertaste with lingering spicy malt and hops. Very nice, and well worth tracking down.

Dec 22, 2006 Bottle at home. Another wonderful experience. Very light and sweet. Much less dense in flavour and texture than its darker brethren. Least favourite of the 3 Westies. But, absolutely nothing to complain about.

Rating no. 800. Bottle. Hazy golden colour with large creamy white mostly lasting head. Fruity aroma with notes of lemon and yeast. Sweet fruity flavor. Oily palate.

Bottle thanks to Bhops. Pours a dark straw color with a big white head. Nose is triscuits and corn chips and pepper. Taste is weak tea, wheat, green pepper, and a slight earthy component with a hint of fruitiness. Odd.
