Apr 1, 2008 [Bottle, thanks Brewfiend] Pours hazy orange with a big off-white head. Aroma is big on floral hops with a little citrus in there as well. Taste is sweet, fruity--a little citrus and only a little bitterness towards the end. Medium mouthfeel. A decent beer.

Mar 29, 2008 This reminds me of the New Glarus Imperial weizen. Loads of hops in the aroma and flavor, especiall y for the style. Good, crisp flavor with citrus and grapefruit, with a sour citrus bite. An interesting fusion of styles, like an ipa and weizen.

Mar 29, 2008 (bottle, thanks BDR) Pours a dark gold color with a white head. The aroma, as beoir pointed out, is strong with lilac, but I also smelled some Off Bugspray which detracted from the aroma. The taste is somewhat spicy and grainy (not wheat though) with a bit of pear and peach too. Medium mouthfeel.

Mar 27, 2008 Bottle, gold body with off-white head. Aroma of grain, wheat, sweet malts, and hops. Flavor was more of the same. Slight hop bite on the finish. Thanks to BDR/brewfiend.

Mar 27, 2008 Thanks to Brewfiend/BDR for this! Hazy gold color with a large head. Strong floral aroma (pegged as lilac by Beoir) and a pinch of citrus. Mainly floral lilac taste. The wheat was there, but definitely on the decline. Still a very tasty brew.

Mar 27, 2008 This was intriguing. A strong floral hop aroma that beoir eventually nailed as lilac. Flavor began with a somewhat generic grain flavor but the intriguing floral hops quickly overwhelmed these flavors. Didn’t detect much wheat, but good none-the-less.

Mar 5, 2008 22oz purchased at Whole Foods Bowery. Pours a decent looking orange to amber, with modest head and carbonation. The smell is fairly thick - lots of banana, some faint malts, and a heap of spice (clove and pepper predominantly). On the one hand, this thing seems to have held up well - I say this not having tried it fresh, but it’s got plenty of bite and pep. But on the other hand, it also seems a bit thin, with not much complexity, and even the hops seem washed out. Decent beer but not much more than that.
