Commercial Description:
Brewed with divine inspiration and a combination of pale 2-row, raw wheat, and oats, this ale is steeped with a complex blend of spices including coriander, Curacao orange peels, and Kaffir lime leaves. It is hopped with Centennial and Czech Saaz for a citrus flower finish. Beneath the bright white head, the cloudy golden body holds a surprising depth of flavours with pepper, grapefruit, and a vibrant acidity. Serve at 6 C. in a tumbler. Unfiltered. 19 IBUs.

(650ml bottle) Pours a thin, creamy white head with a cloudy golden body. Nose of wet cardboard, lemon and grain. Flavour is light, smooth and almost milky sweet wheat finish. Tastes more like a German than a Belgian?

Bottle courtesy of Oakbluff: Poured a light yellow color ale with a large pure white foamy head with average retention and no lacing. Aroma of light wheat malt notes with some coriander and loads of lime. Taste is a mix between some light wheat with light coriander and orange peel with loads of lime. It almost felt like drinking some kind of lime-flavoured spritzer. Body is a bit light but mot beers from this style have a light body with some good carbonation. I think this beer could have improve with more wheat malt and coriander ad maybe slightly less lime.

Bomber from Brewery Creek: Poured a cloudy yellow with strong carbonation and a good foamy head. Nice wit aroma of orange zest and corriander (though not as much banana as some other examples) fruity lemon/lime and corriander in the flavour. perhaps a bit light in body, nice clean finish.
