Opaque, yellowish appearance. The aroma is orangey, slightly footy. Quite fruity on the palate, with a fairly full body, light orange and a hint of spice. Finishes wheaty and a slight bit sticky.

On tap at C’est What. Cloudy yellow with moderate white head. Lacey. Some yeast puffs up the mouthfeel. A bit sour yet quite drinkable.

Cask. At Volo. Cloudy/murky yellow-gold pour with a solid lasting white head. Dry aroma, sweet and yeasty, but not much fruit character - mostly stale butterscotch. The taste, much better, more like a wit - mild sweet caramel malt, bitter spice mostly on-style, and yes, that "Durham" yeast taste. Soft, chewy body, with a quick finish - just decent, not all that memorable.

2008-05-10. Lightly golden pastel yellow body with a modest creamy white head and great lacing that coats the side. (4+) Very fruity yeasty aroma, light diacytel notes or something similar. (6+) Similar flavours, fruity yeast reminds me of something I can’t place. Fruity, curious to know what yeast was used, it does not seem like a standard wit-ester profile. Average palate. Mabel liked it a lot, I was underwhelmed. Agree with the general sentiment that it would be better serviced on draught. Will be interesting to see where future iterations go with this. Cask at Volo

Cask at Volo. Pours a cloudy dark gold with an average size diminishing creamy white head. Decent lacing. Aroma of butterscotch, yeast and light spices -- a little to butterscotchy, almost like diacytl. Refreshing flavour, quite easy to drink, perhaps a tad watery. Yeasty with caramel malt and spices. Averege bodied. This one is hard for me to pin down -- I do like it and it’s easy to drink, but it’s almost a bit too light for me and the butterscotch distracts. Still, I’d have it again and I’d like to try it on draught.

On tap @ C´est What Fall Fest. Mild aroma of wheat, some spice, cloudy yellow, small white head. Taste is spicy lemon, light wheat, yeast, reminds me of meringue on lemon meringue pie. Light bodied, unfinished, as far as I´m concerned. Not quite to style.

Draught @ Victory pub. Hazy pale golden, some head and lacing. Tangerine intense in the aroma. Soft, velvety mouthfeel. Intensely fruity and juicy. Tangerine again and other ripe, sweet citrus fruits. Simple, fruity, slightly sweet wiht a dry finish. Nice juicy quaffable mouthfeel. Very fruity, almost too much so but some herbs emerge later like chamomile making it refreshing and unique.
