Bottle. Notes of coriander in the nose as well as orange peel. Unique. Hazy, very light yellow. Thin white ring. Nice lace. Some sweetness, light. Nice flavor. The highest rated beer brewed in the State of Iowa. A good beer, but Iowa should be able to come up with a beer rated higher than 3.46.

Nice, hazy gold color, but it had a very disappointing head. Gentle, welcoming aroma. Flavor was dominated by the spices -- perhaps nutmeg, allspice, cinnamon and cloves? To me, the finish was better than the initial flavor. I’ll pass the next time.

Bottle received in a trade with Iowaherkeye. Pretty typical cloudy yellow body with a small fuzzy white head. There is a hint of banana and coriander in the nose, but this wit is a notch breadier than some of its kin. There’s a hint of dinner rolls. Pretty decent in the mouth, inclusive of all the aspects I would expect in the style, but it is thin. It’s got a touch of citrus and subtle spices. The finish is faint of clove smoke and so is spicy just in the slightest. A bit of papery hops come through here and there. This’ll work.

A fairly typical wit. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a cloudy medium yellow color with a large white head. The aroma is light citrus and dry grainy malts. The flavor is dry and wheaty with a chewy cardboard element and a hint of citrus and spice.

Bottle... GABF RB Tasting ’06... Clear, straw-colored ale with a small, frothy, white head. Breadsy, lightly phenolic aroma. Mildly sweet, fruity flavor with soft bitterness and spice. Light-bodied with a coarse mouthfeel and gentle carbonation. Finishes spicy and dry. Thanks go out to DenverLogan for providing the bottle!

Thanks to iowaherkeye for this one. Murky golden body with a fizzy and rapidly diminishing small white head, basically no lacing. Aroma is cloves, wheat, bananas, spices. Flavor has all of these with a bubblegum like feel. Very smooth with a somewhat watery mouthfeel. Not too interesting but not flawed either.
