Draft, at Nodding Head on 7/24/09. Pours pale golden, topped with a small white head. Aroma of wheat, fruit, Belgian yeast, and citrus. Flavor is fairly sweet, with notes of wheat, candi sugar, clove, spice and white pepper. Sweet finish, with some spice lingering. Medium body, with some syrupy character. Good stuff; really refreshing.

BCTWC 09. Hazy golden yellow with a nice small lasting tight white head. Fruity and spicy belgian yeast in the aroma, fruity ligth lemony kick- and a bit grassy- spicy green peppercorn as well. Moderatly sweet flavor, doughy, wheat-liek with a citrus lemon zest kick, and a grassy spritzy refreshing finish.

Looks like infected urine. Nose is yeasty and sweet. Flavor is kumquat and cloves. Not bad, nothing fantastic.

Pours a golden blonde color into the lager glass. Scent of yeast and some Belgian wheat. Flavor was typical for a Belgian Ale with hints of malt, banana, clove and yeast. A flavorful beer, but lacking in complexity.

Rich estery aroma with banana and wheat. Flavor is sweet and mild, with the buckwheat mellowing the sharpness typical of a belgian wheat. Good bread fullness and thick finish.

hazy gold, frothy white head, sweet spicy belgian candy aroma, well balance flavor between the candy malt sweetness and lots of spicyness, lots of raspy wheat mixed brings out the spicyness,

Tap @ Nodding Head. This brew was a lightly hazed golden color with an off-white head. The aroma was mainly banana and malt. The flavor was made of banana and spices with an estery finish. Mild to moderately bitter semi-dry finish.
