Oct 19, 2007 Bottle purchased at John’s Grocery in Iowa City. Poured a clear pale golden color. Head was fluffy and white with good retention and lacing. Aroma was a combination of banana, orange, marmelade, peach, and sweaty arm pit. Tart acidity on the tongue with carbonation on the prickly end of the spectrum. Tasted of banana, lemon zest, and rhubarb with a pleasant cereal grain aftertaste.

Oct 19, 2007 Golden colored with a frothy white head. Cereal grains, honey, and fruit loops cereal in the aroma. Light tartness, hints of citrus and some more fruit loops in the flavor...also hints of banana and diacetyl.

Oct 13, 2007 Aroma of cream and and pineapple, some cheese and DMS. Milky yellow color, very thick white head, no lacing. Very sour lemon taste, with cardboard and rice at midpalate. The lemon grass finish sets it off nicely. I’m still a novice with this style, but I do enjoy sour beers. This one just seems one dimensional, but perhaps that is the style. I like it, but it doesn’t excite me that much.

Oct 11, 2007 Poured a hazy yellow colour with a very active fizzy white head. Head instantly diminished to a ring. Aroma presents funky yeast, light fruit, citrus and spices. Initial taste is tangy, a salty wheat makes up the background character of this brew. Moving into a lightly spiced citrus. Palate duration cuts short and is slightly dry. A light body, but refreshing and enjoyable.

Oct 11, 2007 This beer pours a cloudy orange, it almost looks like a grapefruit juice considering it has that nice citric and bitter aroma to it. The head foams up really nice and as fast as it foams up it fades to nothing. The initial taste is very salty and tangy but that fades as quick as the beer goes down your throat. the after taste on the palate is very smooth and toffee like with mild hints of melon.

Oct 11, 2007 Pours a very cloudy straw colour with a fizzy head that disipates as quick as soda-pop. The aroma is typically salty with muted hints of barnyard funk from the yeast. A good amount of acidity is felt through the nose. The flavour is mildly tart, salty and acidic with flavours of wheat, citrus, horseblanket, some banana/melon. The palate duration is extremely short and the body is watery with soft messaging carbonation.

Oct 9, 2007 Nearly clear yellow color with a thick head. A tart and lemony aroma as well as some wheat. Slight tartness and dry malt up front, followed on by wheat, lemon and banana. Not overly tart or sour, but just enough to freshen it up a bit. Lovely.

Oct 9, 2007 1st half of the bottle w/o the lees. Pours a slightly hazed, bright pale yellow color w/ a full yet short lived spritzy froth that reduces to a full, sliky canopy. Aromas of banana cream. Medium nectar w/ ample residual effers. Tastes like a tart hefe weissen. Good banana spice w/ a defined tartness. The tart component stabs quick and deep yet is very enjoyable as it recedes softly to a murmur. The finsh is long w/ a lingerng tart tingling. Highly recommended. 2nd half with the lees in the glass. Pours an opaque tawny yellow color with tart aromas. The flavor profile is less enjoyable to me this way as it becomes the full fledged tart/sour style it was meant to be. At this point all the wheat flavors are gone left with nothing but sour citric acid. I really do enjoy the pour w/o the lees far better and I would drink it again that way.
