| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Jan 1, 2008 tap from tasting room- pours yellow, tastes oddly smokey/toasty- maybe some of the toasted lager in this one. Not that good. Chapel (330), Levittown, New York, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 17, 2007 Pours golden, like the name. Aroma of some light floral scents. Flavor strongly of wheat. It is almost as if it is a fruit beer that is simply waiting for the right fruit to come along. Rather sweet either way. jcwattsrugger (5333), Florida and, New Jersey, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Oct 22, 2006 on tap-pours a white head with yellow color. Aroma is grain, musty-funky. Taste follows with some hops. OK carbonation. beastiefan2k (1600), Lawrence (formely NYC), Kansas, USA

Sample at the brewery tasting room. A rather unattractive yellow color with a thick head. Has a deceptively medicinal and herbal aroma. However, all this leads to a surprising and deliciously sweet malt flavor. Slightly biscuit-y a la a British bitter mixed some strong sweet malts. Mouthfeel has a perfect level of felt carbonation. A surprising delight. 6/2/8/4/15
Rerate: definitely a different batch and a very different beer. Not so unattractive yellow anymore. Taste is a lot more hoppy (some citrus some herbal hops) and less on the biscuit. Still very quaffable though. 7//3/7/3/15.
