Slight hue caramel color. Orange aroma, spicey candied coriander and ester. Some ginger notes. Some alcohol but well hidden for 10%. Same spice taste as La Fin du Monde, but less. I wasn’t expecting much but this was good.

Sep 29, 2008 8% abv version. Pours hazy sunshine yellow with some decent white head. Quite a bit of yeast character here. Banana nose and flavor with a definite clove-ish finish. Medium body with quite a bit of carbonation. Balanced finish. Just kind of a so-so beer. Worth a try though.

Sep 2, 2008 330 ml bottle (8%ABV) from John’s Marketplace in Portland, Oregan. Classier label than the 2008. Pours a light coppery color with a decent off-white head that didn’t last long. Light aromas of paler fruits. Medium body with somewhat fizzy carbonation. Flavor is somewhat roasted caramel (and this is a wheat), with a little heat, and some fruity bitter. Rather clean and refreshing. Tasty. Glad I had it. I’d do it again.

Aug 26, 2008 750ml bottle - hazy orange, fizzy beer, with a small, foamy head - very strong banana, orange, clove, honey and apple in the aroma, with the requisite phenolic character and potent wheaty tang - the flavor is quite similar, but with a much higher bitterness (and lower sweetness) than the aroma suggests - spicy, almost peppery hops couple with the more typical wheat beer flavors that the aroma lets you know are coming, lending a flowery, rustic, nearly saison-ish character to the beer - the alcohol is fairly apparent, but it never burns - strong wheat in the finish, and lingering hop bitterness - she’s a decent beer.

Aug 20, 2008 typical wheat beer pour, golden yellow, and cloudy. Nice big fluffy head. Nice aroma of bananas, cloves, caramel, and some notes of apple. Flavour is more banana, its very typical of a hefeweizen, but you can tell the 10% is there. It’s strong, but enjoyable. A nice beer, the 750ml was a little much, but a very nice sipper.
