| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Oct 28, 2007 Tap, Blind Tiger NYC. Gorgeous direct golden pour, opaque and fully cloudy. Delicate, yet lasting white foam. Delicious hoppy aroma mixing saaz-like flowery hoppiness with an American citrusy (Amarillo-like mandarine flavours) on top of sprucey and resiney nose. The wheat serves its purpose through texture and pushes its own acidity against the hops’ citrusy one. It seems hard enough to succeed in balancing those should-be clashing flavours, but it’s masterfully achieved to my senses. The whole thing is hugely refreshing, original and tasty. Bitter, but not so much. Cleansing, excellent carbonation. Light-medium bodied. Great stuff. Magicdave6 (5558), London, Greater London, England
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 16, 2008 Bottle at beer exposed, quite a few samples. Alround rating: Over carbonated, quite a bit of alcohol, theres some nice fruity hop character, but the wheaty alc over carbonation detracts it for me. hopscotch (5525), Vero Beach, Florida, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 12/20 | Jun 9, 2008 Bottle... Lightly hazed yellow ale with a huge, wispy, white head. Excellent retention. The aroma is very phenolic with tons of clove and light mesquite smoke. Esters include, but are not limited to, overripe banana. I can’t figure out the rest. Full-bodied with an oily mouthfeel and modest carbonation. Sweet up front, followed by moderate bitterness, with light tanginess carrying up the rear. Spicy and citric. Lengthy, bitter, tangy finish.

Aroma of fresh citrusy American hops and nice estery banana and yeast character. Body starts full and lightly caramely sweet with nice fresh hops and clove spice well-balanced and big in flavor. Finishes bready bittersweet. A big beer, but still refreshing and drinkable. Bov (5495), Bienne, Switzerland
