bottle-thanks to vyvvy for giving me this one. pours cloudy yellow with a sudsy white head-thick and smooth. nose is a bit lemony with undertones of pale grains (wheat). A bit on the egg notes as well-sulfer. flavors are more in the american wheat character with tons of lemon and grainy notes. lite body and mild carbonation, at least on the mouth. long lemony finish. pretty decent wit!

Jun 11, 2008 This brew pours a semi cloudy straw yellow colour with a nice head that has aromas of coriander, spice and a little cloves. Mouthfeel is light and it finishes very smooth with a soft hop drop. Overall tastey, i hear its better than last years batch.

May 12, 2008 Barley Island Sheet Metal Blonde is an cloudy yellow color with a quickly disappearing white head. The aroma is faint with orange, citrus and to borrow from Davinci, "gingerbread like" spiced qualities. The flavor is light with gingerbread notes. The finish is very light and very nice. I enjoy this beer, but find the taste a bit strange!

May 1, 2008 Hazy pale straw color, medium head, little lacing. Aroma is raw wheat, mild orange, baking spices and vanilla... gingerbread like. Flavor is much the same, returning to that gingerbread character I noticed in the nose. There is some mildly tart citrus in there as well. Finish is mildly floral/spicy noble hops. Mouthfeel is watery with a soft finish. This would be good in the summer if served slightly cold on a very hot day.

Apr 30, 2008 Hazy straw color with a small white frothy head. Aroma of sweet oranges, wheat, coriander, spices and a small amount of vanilla. Really awkward flavor. Like wet wheat flower and orange juice. Pancakey. This is just plain awkward and kinda gross.
