Elwood (661), Leesburg, Virginia, USA Jun 6, 2009 12 oz. bottle. Hazy, bright gold color with a foamy, white head. Grapefruit, lemon, yeast, a touch of bread, and a sweetness I can’t quite place in the nose. The grapefruit makes a return on the palate along with a light malt sweetness, a little hops, honey, wheat, citrus pith and what I thought to be a touch of salt. Medium-high carbonation with a slightly prickly then smooth mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a slight dryness. Short finish with just a little malt and bitterness sticking to the tongue. Overall a great summertime quaff. Light enough to be sessionable but full enough to be satisfying. bradner (25), Oswego, Illinois, USA Jun 5, 2009 Pours hazy straw color. Aroma is coriander and yeast. I think this has a medium mouthfeel that if consumed slowly is not very desirable. When compared to Boulevard Wheat, Goose Island 312, and New Belgium Sunshine Wheat it is much better. Not a beer that I could drink a lot of though because of the mouthfeel. alagnak (295), Littleton, Colorado, USA Jun 5, 2009 Bottle from theisti. Clean smelling, not much going on in the nose. Crisp wheaty taste, little banana and a pleasant spicy finish. Easy summer drinker. Thanks, Tim. drazil91 (39), Panama City, Florida, USA Jun 3, 2009 Smells great, excellent head. I sense a little fruit coming through. Very easy to drink. Cybercat (778), Georgia, USA Jun 2, 2009 Aroma is strong, malty, yeasty, very inviting. It pours a clear straw-yellow - not inspiring, but at least the white head is nice and thick and hangs around for a bit. Flavor is fairly strong and refreshing, if not complex - malty with a wheaty undertone and a touch of fruit. Texture is smooth and just a little fizzy. Beerapprentice (111), Hopatcong, New Jersey, USA Jun 1, 2009 Pours a hazy straw yellow colour. Aroma of spices, yeast, citrus, and bananas. Flavour is of wheat, fruits, spices, and malt with a watery bitter finish. Day old so may have to re-rate. snakeoilpete (324), Seattle, Washington, USA Jun 1, 2009 On tap at the Happy Gnome. Pours hazy yellow with a decent white head. Smells like spices and bread. Taste and finish are a little fruity. DalzAle (474), Eden Prairie, Minnesota, USA May 30, 2009 Bottle. Hazy straw yellow color with some soapy carbonation. Aroma is malty banana and spices. Flavor is creamy malts, orange and finished a little bitter.
