Oct. 2007 - Pour cloudy yellow with decent head, no lacing. Citrus aroma and an overload of citrus in the flavor. This beer was so fruity, I thought it was going to be a fruit beer, laced with apricot or something. Mouthfeel was full and well carbonated. Not a bad beer, but a bit too sweet and fruity.

...bottle. An interesting flavor on this one, but artificial. Orange notes, blended with slight malty taste on the palate with some spicyness. Weird aftertaste of orange, that seems to get overpowering after a few. This is a pretty good beer for the most part, but tastes too artificial and needs more body.

Bottle: Pours a cloudy honey must reminiscent of mead. thick shiny white head. Strong nose of tangerines and mixed citrus with hints of pine. Bosdy is full and smooth with sugared grapefruit ringing. Large thick lacing exudes from thicker quaff rings. finish is rounded and full with hints o hops and pine. A very nice brew. Worth a try.

Pours with a fizzy, white head with a fruity pebbles aroma with some clove and ornange peel. Head goes away quickly, but the lacing stays for a while. Murky yellow body, not an amazing taste. Pretty dry and fizzy.

This beer was pretty good on draft at the Brix. Very strong and unique aroma of fruity pebbles. Citrus flavored taste. Not watery at all. Very drinkable and refreshing.

Draft, this one was a special, and i’d never had it before, taste is not bad, easy drinking a tad bit of spice coming through like an american wheat... easy to drink and not half bad for 2 bucks a pint.
