Jul 30, 2009 Bottle into pint. Trade bonus courtesy of mattmc1973 (thank you). Pours a cloudy light orange, with a large fluffy head that reduces slowly. Aroma is wheaty, citrusy, and mildly hoppy. A tiny amount of spice detected too on the nose. Flavor is moderately hoppy - more than expected. Also citrus and cream in the flavor, a little sweet malt. Creamy mouthfeel. Pretty damn good for this style. Overall, good to very good.

Jul 27, 2009 Pours bright orange-yellow; semi-cloudy with lots of sediment seen if you hold it up to a light; foamy long-lasting head. Aroma has strong hops, orange and some sweet honey overtones. Taste is surprisingly creamy, some grassy earthtones, cracked wheat bread, some citrus and like the aroma, some sweet clover honey. Definitely a little spicy coriander/orange zest as well. I love wheat beers and this is one of the best I’ve had.

Jul 27, 2009 Tried at a tasting at Wine World in NA. Not bad but not one I purchased. May need to try again as the competition was tough!

Jul 25, 2009 Bottle sample at Brevard County Beer Fest--Orange color beer with no real head. Aroma of wheat and bananas. Light carbonation and fruity wheat was in the taste, with a fizzy finish.

Jul 19, 2009 Characters of citrus orange and malt. Creamy palate with a nice light finish. Very smooth. When remainder of bottle was added after initial tasting, the sediment and brew interestingly formed a colloidal suspension.

Jul 15, 2009 Taste 7/9 Bottle. Looks: Nice cloudy orange body with a disappearing foam. Aroma: Nice citrus and wheat without being sweet. Taste: One of my favorite summer wheat ales. Flavors are blended without being sticky or sweet. Occasional session beer.

Jul 14, 2009 Batch #8354, bottled March 5, 2008. Poured a slightly hazt orange amber color with a small off-white head. There was a good sweet malt aroma with some spice. A nice creamy texture with good carbonation. Despite the haze, carbonation bubbles could be seen rising in the glass. The taste got slightly dry towards the finish with somewhat of a toffee flavor and a little bit of hops at the end. Being over a year old I’m sure this had mellowed out some of the hops. I’ll have to get a fresher bottle to taste the difference.
