From the Seattle Ram, same as what my brother had last year. Very pale yellow. Bleached white head. The aroma is flowery/perfumey. Flavour is light, with much of the same light perfumey character. The finish just drops right off the face of the earth, though. I mean, I thought I was drinking a beer but then, pow, I wasn’t. Rather mediocre.

Draft at Indy location under the name of Barefoot Wit. Poured hazy orange with an average frothy white head that mostly lasted with fair lacing. Moderate yeasty orange citrus aroma. Light to medium body with a light sticky texture. Medium citrus sweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. My expectations where met.

Draught @ WABF 2008. Pours a hazy yellow color with a white head. Sweetish malty citrus aroma. Sweetish fruity what malty citrus flavor with hints of coriander. Sweetish malty citrus finish.

On tap at the Lake Oswego Ram. Pours like a banana smoothie, thick, cloudy mess. Big citrus and coriander nose, banana, spices. Very big floral and fruity taste. Not as dry and crisp as I prefer, but a good warm day beer. Wish it had more of a dry finish, just felt watery towards the end.

Draft at the Tacoma Waterfront location. Cloudy light yellow with dense moussy platinum blonde head and lace. Sweet spices and coriander on the nose. Light body with very little carb. Banana, spice, and grain husk mid-palate. Longish husky finish. Nice.

Cloudy and deep yellow; thin but lasting frothy white head; soapy, lingering lace. Light body; kind of watery texture; mild carbonation. Notes of sweet orange, spicy coriander, light anise and mild flowers. Sweet and mildly spiced beer with just a little bitterness to follow.

Nice citrus and coriander in the aroma. Soft wheat too. Hazy yellow orange. Nice orange and coriander, soft wheat, a little sweet with a nice spice too. Pretty decent.
