Braudog (3461), Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates Apr 24, 2008 Bottle: Poured very light in color, bright golden, even. Not until the bottom of the bottle is out do you get a bit of yeasty swirl. The head is initially fizzy, but generally thin and uninspiring. The aroma is yeasty and fruity, swirly even. This settles into a musty swilly looking thing. This drinks like an American wheat, gristy, yet fruity. Definitely sedimented. If you like your beers with residual yeasty stuff, go for it. (#3434 (cool number), 4/24/2008)

Aroma - Very assertive clove aroma that overshadows lemon and light stone fruit that lurks in the background.
Appearance - Cloudy yellow pour, somewhat spare white head that has a fine, creamy appearance.
Flavor - Starts off with a fruity sweetness that persists with some soft bitterness and a faint tartness that come on board slowly. <P> Palate - Light body and gently carbonation, smooth, not quite dry, yet refreshing and fairly clean mouthfeel.
Overall - Pretty decent, but the spiciness and the sweetness definitely prevail, and I would prefer more dryness. blklab2007 (490), Connecticut, USA Jun 19, 2008 bottle poured a hazy wheat color with a thin white head. aroma has spices, yeast, wheat, and slight citrus fruit. mouth feel is lighter but has a nice texture. flavor has spices and yeast, wheat, and light orange peel. very easy sipping with spices that are not too over the top. Biddle_Brau (75), Midland Park, New Jersey, USA Jun 15, 2008 Pale slightly fruity aroma. Lightly spicy flavor. Light overall but ok for a summer brew. Sampled at Stoudts 17th Annual Microfest: June 2008 acearl (164), Elkins Park, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 12, 2008 Sticking with the wit kick, cloudy like orange juice, off orange almost rancid color, tasted similar, good with a slice of orange to cut the off bitterness tang. Not the best, but unique. 19641948 (473), Greensboro, North Carolina, USA Jun 12, 2008 Pours a subtley cloudy gold witht just a scant white head. Whispery aroma of lemons and coriander. Quiet. Flavors do not meld well, with each flavor characteristic fighting to gain top billing as opposed to working together for the sake of the beer. Clove, coriander, wheat, orange, lemon. Could mesh better.
