12 oz bottle. Pours a cloudy, copper-yellow color with a surprisingly thick, off-white head. Spicy, citrusy aroma. Flavor is exceedingly spicy yeast flavor full of strong citrus zest and coriander. Quite dry. A decent brew but too dry and spicy for my taste, especially when expecting a crisp summer brew.

Light creamy yellow with lots of floaties and a small creamy white head. Flavor is big on citrus fruits, with a tang and a hint of sour, but the spices are subdued compared to others.

2009 Bottle - Pours a bright yellow with a small neon white head...aroma is spicy sweet, citrus zest, coriander and doughy yeast...flavour is similar, sweet malt with an almost tannic cinnamon presence...nice mouthfeel, if not a bit under carbed, but overall quite nice...

Bottle from store in National City: Pours with a thick frothy foamed head and a white tinted glowing yellow color. Nose is a nice and delicate touch of coriander and zesty yeast and finishes with an after thought of shaved orange peel. The flavor is smooth yet mild and has a well balanced presence of grained wheat and spiced yeast with hints of citrus to finish it up.

12oz bottle thanks to 17thfloor. Cloudy straw color with small white head. Aroma is big spice with yeast, wheat and very dried out. The flavor is more orange and fruit centered then spice or yeast but the malt sweetness is off-dry but finishes sweet. Medium body with good carbonation. Not bad, thanks again Gerrit.
