Jun 16, 2008 Taster - Washington Brewers Festival - Kenmore, WA
Aroma – Good use of wheat malt with a nice banana and grapefruit aroma.
Appearance – Amber in color, slightly clear with a thin head.
Flavor – This had a nice malt background for flavor the hops where very light.
Palate – Good Mouthfeel, nice texture with a dry finish.
Overall – Another mass appeal beer and very little other to offer. A good wheat beer with a bready nose and just plain.

Jun 11, 2008 Nice copper color with a moderate head. Palate was light up front; somewhat crisp and sharper toward the finish. Malt sweetness was mild (dough). Rather toasted, wheaty and grainy, though not much depth in those flavors. Aromas were on the mild/bland side, too. Hops were light and one-dimensional; not very aromatic. Somewhat stark in the aftertaste. Overall, I thought it was a fairly clean beer, just not too exciting.

May 31, 2008 Big thanks to Larry for this under the radar gem! Pours a reddish brown with a thin even head. A sort of weird toasty round malt nose. Reminds me of Brian Boru, not any wheat I’ve ever had. A bit of cola maybe? Even small bubbles. Thinner. Toastier sweetness. Very little wheat, but some dunkleweizen sort of flavors, darker fruit esters. Sweet round toasty finish. A bit of caramel.

May 29, 2008 Bottle poured a clear reddish amber with a small disapating amber head. Aromas of carmel, fruittiness and wheat. Palate was medium bodied and crisp with a dry finish. Flavors of carmel and light fruittiness with a crisp dry malty finish.

May 29, 2008 Pours a slightly disturbing color - exactly like the grease you’ll find sitting on top of a fresh pepperoni pizza - but isn’t half bad. Little to no head. Aroma of toasted malts, slightly metallic with notes of bread / yeast. Flavor is mostly malts, deep with lots of roasted grains. I wish the hops came through more, as the malts are strong enough that it’s pretty unbalanced. It’s a lot like Widmer’s hef, just a bit deeper and smokier.

May 24, 2008 2008 Bottle (obviously) - Pours a ruddy brown, small offwhite head, aroma is of toasty grain and slight sweet malt, pretty average in every way, decent bitterness, more toast that a normal hef, thats about it...
