Apr 25, 2007 Updated: Jun 4, 2007From a bottle purchsed at John’s in Iowa City. The label says 5% abv. I used a hefe glass and this poured with a light straw color that was slightly hazy. The bubbles were fast moving and this created a rocky textured large white head. The aroma is similar to lemon bread, but a little more intense. There is a hint of hay to go along with the obvious tart lemon smell. The taste is mildly sour with some lemon drops and a little bit of clove. The fruit esters come out clearly as you drink a little more, definite notes of banana and kiwi. This would be a great warm weather beer with the refreshing citrus and smooth, light body. Interesting and drinkable.

Dec 5, 2008 Bottle from South Bay Drug. Hazy lemon gold color with a very large white head. Aromas of yeast and citrus. Medium body with frothy carbonation. Quite zesty in a citrus mode. Slightly lactic. Slighty bitter. Astringent. Puckerish. Probably prevents scurvy.

Aug 11, 2007 Thank Tom for the bottle: Pours a clean golden hue with a lasting fizzy head and good lace. The aroma has notes of wheat and pale malt, moderate sour apple, hint of banana ester, some funk and wood as well. The taste is much more reserved that I would have thought. The sourness is there but hardly palate crushing as I would have initially guessed. A nice interplay of sour, bitter, and wheat along the ride. This is quite the refreshing and spritzy summer brew. A solid offering but I really did want more teeth grinding pucker power than this did provide.

May 22, 2007 Bottled. Poured a slightly hazy paler golden with a creamy white head and lively carbonation. Aroma picked up deep pineapple and pear esters with sweet bananas and sharper, spritzy orange zest.. underlying bready sweet notes. The flavor found a sweet bready pils malt base with ample doses of pineapple and orange.. sourness is rather mild, but very well-done.. more milky pineapple and orange toward the bottom of the bottle. Grainy wheat notes on the palate pair very well with the rather mild sourness.. lighter-bodied and oh-so refreshing! Great stuff!

Jun 2, 2007 Amazingly refreshing sour power. This is not for reveryone, beautiful creamy appearance with light yellow/beige body. All the foam cuddles the tart product in creaminess and malt. And all this at 5%

Oct 26, 2007 Bottle (500ml). Cloudy yellow, huge foamy white lasting head. Sour fruit, yeast, funky spice, I get the lactic character. Oh, my that’s nice - light wheat beer, with mildly acidic fruit (strawberry!), and lemon sourness and yeast .... really pleasant. Light body, carbonation and acidity, quick finish, but while it’s on your palate it’s a nice ride.
