Nov 7, 2009 Sample at GABF 2009. Pours a clear yellow to golden color with thin white head. Aroma is bread, wheat, yeast, fresh wine, light citrus, honey. Flavor is about the same. Light to medium body with a watery finish.

Oct 13, 2009 On tap at GABF 2009. Girlfriend wanted to try this. Clear pale golden-yellow color with a small white head. Aroma is white wine, spice, grain, and citrus. Flavor is, well, a lot like chardonnay. White wine stands out, fairly sweet but not overly so, with some light fruit notes and a little grain and spice. Finishes a little dry and crisp with medium-light body. Not too bad, better than regular Blue Moon for sure.

Sep 22, 2009 Tap at Studio Square. Very pale golden-straw coloured beer. Creamy white head. The nose is almost non-existent. Just a light kiss of straw and a fairly bright citrusy tartness that I can only assume is coming from the grapes. Very light but I can’t say it is uninteresting. Tart and a little bit fruity, but the fruit seems vineous and quite attenuated. It really does come across like a mix of light wheat beer and crisp tart white wine... which isn’t nearly as bad as it sounds.

Hoppy aroma. Clear golden coloured fruity and hoppy with a crisp slightly dry and creamy malt finish.

Jul 14, 2009 Hand bottle shared by hellbilly at his holiday tasting. Spicey grain aroma. Yellow body with white head. Grainy flavor with hint of spice and a touch of maybe lemon think it says. Blah in bigger letters think someone else wrote that on my paper.

Jul 1, 2009 don’t ask me where i got it... i’m not even sure i was supposed to have it!
clear yellow pour with a slight white head.
this smells and tastes like a glass of chardonnay mixed with a cheap pale lager (cereal grain and white grapes)... kind of a wine shandy? not great but interestingly unique.
anyway, it feels more or less like wine with carbonation...weird. 6/3/5/3/13/3.0

Jun 1, 2009 Bottle shared by hellbilly at his holiday tasting. Lightly hazy yellow color pour with a thin head. Aroma of malt and white wine. Flavor is just like the aroma. Though not fantastic, I am happy Josh convinced himself to share this. I’m not worthy! Thanks sir!
