Jul 15, 2007 On tap at Pizza Port Carlsbad. Nice 1/2 finger creamy small bubble head that dies to coat the surface. Cloudy orange color. A tad more toward the sweet side than the hoppy side. Generally low hoppiness. My nose isn’t skilled enought tosmell anything.

Jul 14, 2007 Draft at Carlsbad Pizza Port. Aroma similar to a hefeweizen or wheat beer, but not that much sweet flavor. It was somewhat disappointing.

Jul 14, 2007 Bottle at beerbistro. Golden body with a smallish white head and a touch of lacing on the glass. Toasty malt in aroma with an odd note I have smelled before but cannot place it - spice? coriander?. Light boozey notes. Flavour of the same unnamed aroma note. Dry spicy alcohol in the finish lingers. It is a nice example of the style, but it starts to grate on me just a little as the glass warms up. Average palate.

Jul 13, 2007 750 ml. bottle. Pours a hazy yellow with a medium head. Very tart aroma, almost like sour apple candy. Flavors of yeast and earthiness, with a nice creaminess.

Jul 13, 2007 750 ml bottle. Granny Smith apples from the aromas off this golden yellow slightly hazy pour. Decent head the whole way through. Flavors not at all tart like the aromas suggested. Much more earthy and spicy. Some lemon zest, and then a very nice finish. Pretty good stuff.
