Bottled
Hazy orange, small white head, some lace. Coriander and other spices, citrus, ryeish bready wheat and hops in the nose. Light body. Despite of "made with European ingredients" very American. Refreshing, but same time a bit boring.

Bottle. Orange blonde, cloudy. tangerine flavor with yeast, clove and some hints of yoghurt. No specific aroma, but flowery hops in the finish.

A Mes rate: bottle at the Harry vs Wolfman fist fight.
Nabu: ’’A place far, far away, the place where I was born...’’
Bollo: ’’Peckham?’’
Nabu: ’’No, the planet Oberon you jerk off!’’
Hazy gold with a thin off white head. Mellow hoppage with a good grassy character. Nicely balanced. The Belgian and Czech character is quite clear. Enjoyable but no show stopper.

Bottle @ Chris_o’s Pre-Beer Exposed Tasting, September 2008.
Pours murky and muddy, pale yellow with a small, creamy, white head. Aroma is wonderfully fruity, melons, grapefruit and lemons. Light and elegant mouthfeel. Flavour, though, is a bit dull. Some good fruitiness and sweetness, but just feels a bit average.

12oz bottle acquired in trade with atpayne (thanks!). Poured a medium to deep and cloudy golden color with an averaged sized white head. Some floaters. Aromas of wheat, light clove and a little fruity. Tastes of stronger wheat, citrus, and light spices.

12oz bottle -pours a fizzy white head and hazy yellow color with small particles. Aroma is mild citrus, musty wheat. Taste is mild citrus-some lemon, smooth, musty wheat, secondary light biting hops. OK effervescence.

Pale golden yellow, light white head, very cloudy. Wheaty banana nose, slightly phenolic. Sweet crackers and grassy/floral hops taking more room than I’d expect. Mellow bitterness, but bright floral character. Lemony bananas feel good, but the milky edges I don’t like. Creamy light body. Disappointing.. Soapy and incoherent fruitiness.
