May 11, 2008 750 ml bottle. Poured a cloudy yellow/orange with a huge fluffy head. Aroma of citrus fruits and hops. Flavor was wheat, grains, citrus, spice and bittering hops. Nice combination of yeast and hops with the wheat to create a very drinkable brew. Would be real nice on a warm, sunny afternoon.

May 11, 2008 750 ml bottle. I’ve been looking forward to this beer for a while. Pours cloudy orange with a fluffy white head. Great aroma of superfresh hops, imparting a spicy, earthy, citrusy aroma in addition to the more traditional bread and banana notes. Taste is similar, with really fresh hop character and a distincitive clove/spice quality. Excellent beer. Will definitely have again.

May 10, 2008 22 oz. bomber on 5/10/2008. Hazy deep gold body under a creamy, billowing white head that lasts and lasts, leaving thick, sticky lace - phenomenal looking. Wonderful aroma that has the characteristics of a German wheat with the banana and clove esters underneath and the citrus qualities of the Amarillo hops on top, a unique aroma that works well.
Medium body and carbonation, not overly effervescent as I expected after I saw the pour. Very smooth, almost creamy, yet clean and lightly dry. on the palate.
A solid, light malty base supports a balanced, soft grapefruit bitterness that extends into a long dry finish. This is just excellent in all respects.

May 8, 2008 750ml bottle: Aroma has a really nice spice to it, pine hop presence, orange zest, and a somewhat heavy clove aroma. Pours a cloudy yeasty orangish/golden color with a huge fluffy white head. (almost a light brown color) Taste has got a nice citrus note with orange, the pine comes later, then near the finish you get the clove note that bursts through. Somewhat of yeasty wheat flavor as well. Palate is nicely spicy/sweet, rather flat on the tongue, lively when it going down. Aftertaste has sweet fruit and clove intermingled with the slightest bit of hop. Overall, A very nice brew. I enjoyed this one thoroughly! Cheers!

May 4, 2008 Updated: May 5, 2008Corked 750 ml bottle. Light orange color with a huge fluffy head with good retention leaving a lot of lacing. Aroma is very floral with light zesty fruits, hops and some champagne. The hops taste zesty and citrusy with a malt base present, some bubblegum and champagne in there as well. At times it seemed a little like chemicals. It’s not alcoholic but it is bold. Finishes a little sour and tangy with a lemon zing. A interesting and unique beer. I can see some hefe in it, some imperial pilsner as well but I woudn’t categorize it as either of those. Fun to try but not something I’d want to have on a regular basis.
