Summertime beer is right! Picture yourself coming in after mowing the lawn. It’s 114 degrees out. You’re really thirsty. This is the one to reach for. Light, crisp. You get a nice wheat on the nose and palate, but there’s the delicate orange peel & coriander that sneaks up just a little and reminds you that there’s something else to this beer. Nicely done for summer.

Dec 5, 2009 Tasted at Beer Dabbler Event in St. Paul. This beer had a strange, soapy aroma, but not unpleasant. It also had a surprising Russian tea spice flavor that I enjoyed.

Nov 12, 2009 Pours a thin yellow haze with a quickly dissipating head. The nose is the light yeast and fruit flavor of the style. The slight sweetness balances nicely with the citrisy astringency. Mouth feel is a little rough, but not overly so. This is the first of this beer that I have had in a couple of years. The first one I had was at the Royal’s stadium during a late summer evening game. The setting gave that first glass a bit of boost that the beer probably doesn’t deserve, and I just discovered that the single that I bought unrefrigerated at France 44 for rating is two months out of date. I will give this one a 2.9 with an asterisk and the promise that I will come back and re-rate next summer when there is some fresh stock on the shelf.

Nov 11, 2009 A golden yellow liquid that looks like sunshine in a glass. Slightly hazy. One finger foamy white head that dissolves to nothing, quickly.
Coriander. Tangy wheat notes. Slight hint of orange and cloves.
Wheat taste is dominant. Slight spicey, citrusy notes. Powerful phenol (band aid) taste on the end.
For a very light bodied beer, it maintains a suprising creaminess. The low-level carbonation works for this one.
While I could easily see people drinking many of these on a hot summer day, personally, the phenol taste throws me off. It’s just a bit too much.

Nov 8, 2009 Picked up a single 12-oz bottle from Cellar’s Wine & Spirits in St Paul, MN. Pours a semi-hazy golden pale colored brew with an average white head that slowly dissipates to a thin ring. Aroma of golden grain malt, some light orange zest and coriander, a hint of white pepper and some clove. Taste is light bodied, some carbonation with flavors of golden grain malt with wheat, a hint of coriander and some yeast. Finish is light, crisp, some light fruit and a touch of coriander that quickly disappears.

Oct 12, 2009 Bottle... poured a beautiful, hazy, golden/yellow with a creamy, white head. Spiced esters and wheat malts on the nose. Quite sessionable with an easy drinking flavor profile. Light fruits and spiced characters. Baked-like wheat malts and an earthy touch of herbs and weed-like notes.

Oct 7, 2009 Yet another beer that I wasn’t able to take good notes about. There is only going to be a couple more before I have the notes back - sorry.

Oct 5, 2009 A golden yellow color with a white foamy head. A citrus aroma with a little bit of wheat at the end. Citrus flavor with that goes down smooth.
