Jun 27, 2009 Head dissipates quickly. Most complexity is in the aroma of banana and citrus. Flavor is mainly lemony tart, not much else. Cool thing is Napoleon drank this exact recipe!

Jun 20, 2009 pours a semi-hazy sunshine yellow, with a large white bubbly head, live carbonation, and not much of a lacing.
smell is of wheat, light citrus, and a touch of spice.
taste is crisp, lots of lemon (too much), and yeast, ends on the sour side.

Jun 16, 2009 Bottle - Pours straw yellow w/ huge white foamy head and a little haze from the sediment. Like the other berliners I’ve tasted, I could smell this from across the room. It’s tart with honey, wheat, and lovely sournes. Unfortunately, there’s not much to taste--sour wheat and lactose, with a real dry finish. There’s too much carbonation, though it’s still pretty refreshing. Decent, but not as good as I anticipated.

Jun 14, 2009 Bottle courtesy of BeerBelcher. This one is supposed to act as my gateway to the other sour styles. Pours a cloudy blond/gold, with a big white head. Tart and acidic aroma of apple and citrus. Flavor is about the same with a thin finish. Not bad. I’m by no means ready to dive into Lambics with both feet, but I can drink this.

Jun 7, 2009 Pour is cloudy yellow with an enormous white fluffy head. A few floaties too. Aroma is lemon, grass, hay, sour wheat, and funk. Flavor is sour, wheaty, yeasty, barnyard-like, lemon, and some green grape. Very effervescent mouthfeel. Flavor is crisp, this beer is incredibly drinkable. Perfect summer/warm weather beer. very pleseant.

May 31, 2009 500ml bottle from ucusty - thanks! About time I rated this baby. Clear straw with a very fizzy white head. Scads of carbonation bubbles. Sour wheat nose, a bit acidic. Tart wheaty flavor, seems to have a sweet streak. I found this to be insanely drinkable - I finished my first glass in maybe two minutes. Delish!

May 30, 2009 Updated: May 31, 2009Wheat style, somewhat hazy. Pale straw. No head.
Yeast aroma, some fruitiness. Honey?
Sour, but far from lambic. No alcohol or hop balance. Not quite just a sour drink; some beer taste, which is not as bad as it may sound.
light body, slightly oily.
Fresh. Good for summer. Wife does not disagree - but not Hoegarden ;) NOTE: Mixer sirup not needed - drink from the bottle.
Purchased at New Beer Distributors for $5 in New York.
