Cloudy rose amber color with a moderate light pink head. Light floral and mild wheat aromas. Perhaps a bit of raspberry as well in the nose. Sweet fruit with a light coating of lemon juice. Raspberries, melon and apricots seem to be the most prevalent in the salad. Perhaps a touch of pomegranate and cactus juice. A little sticky in the linger. Underwhelmed.

Sep 5, 2008 Hmmm...soft salmon-colored tightly packed head sits above a murky pink sapphire body. Aroma is floral, mildly sweet, and grassy. Flavor is somewhat spicy, fruity, and the wheat backbone is definitely there. Interesting.

Sep 4, 2008 Holy shit this beer is beautiful. One of the most gorgeous red colors I’ve ever seen in an ale. The aroma is neat, sweet and sort of grapey. The flavor......ehhh. Sweet. Hints of grape skin. Dries out at the end. Just not something I dig. It’s unique so it gets some points for that but I don’t want to drink this ever again.

Aug 30, 2008 can definately taste the florals - murky and lightly red with viirtually not head - enjoyed it but would prefer more if I could taste the alcohol.

Murky rose-brown body with a quickly dissipating white head. No lace. Aroma is very refreshing and clean - predominantly wheat with notes of fruit (peach and melon), spice and grass. Flavor is delicate, light and smooth - wheat, florals. Sour and acidic finish.

Aug 29, 2008 12oz bottle, courtesy of ryan. Thanks! Pours a bright, slightly red-raspberry color; very light pink head with fine-bubbled lacing. Loads of soft, generous floral notes in the aroma; white pepper, soft honey and ginger. Lively carbonation. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: lots of sweet sugar, floral notes, white pepper, and spicing upfront; overly sweet altogether, and lacking some of the legitimate complexity and clarity expressed in the nose; white pepper and ginger at the periphery. Decent, but slightly muddled and sweet. Lengthy finish: toasty malts, floral notes, and honey; plenty of white pepper.
