| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 23, 2009 On tap at the Flying Saucer in KC. Pours a crystal clear, golden orange body with an inch thick, creamy, white head that dissipates slowly and leaves a good amount of thick lacing. Aroma is a nice mix of hay, banana, pepper, and soft wheats and citrus. Flavor is pretty spicy with a light sourness. Banana and lemon zest, yeast, a light wheat, and plenty of pepper and hay. Finishes very dry with a peppery, lemon, wheat aftertaste that lingers for quite awhile. Light bodied and smooth. Overall, I’m enjoying this. Its not extraordinary, but has a nice sour spice to go along with the wheat. Nice balance and fairly easy drinking. PilsnerPeter (2617), Flushing, New York, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 23, 2009 Tap at ACBF 2009: Pours a hazy light yellow with a dense white head. Fresh crisp wheaty aroma with a lemony note. Light and fluffy body- crisp texture. Dry flavor overall with evident phenolic character and wheaty crispness. Lemony notes but not at all citric. Dry and easy going, yet simple all around.
