Aromas of citrus/lemons, peppery, light yeast, bready and somewhat fruity. Tastes of pepper, citrus/lemons, fruity (apples and some other sweet fruits) and a touch of yeast.

Apr 27, 2007 C&C 500ml bottle. Clear gold with a rocky white head. Lightly spiced, herbal nose, a bit of lemon and pepper. Nice sheet of white lacing. Spicy sweet flavor, peppery, some lemon zest. Mildly acidic and a somewhat dry finish. Very drinkable. Happy belated birthday, Whole Foods - I hope you don’t mind me buying this from another store...

Apr 23, 2007 Aroma of fruity esters and light spice, along with a bit of yeast. The fruit is almost like a canned fruit aroma in part. Light orange gold color with a very large head that laces on its departure. Starts with stone fruit, peach?, confused by some yeast and floral hop aspects. Not a really dry finish, but not overly sweet. Tropical fruit it might be. Papaya? Very good mouthfeel, though the carbonation might be a bit fizzy. It is just really good ale.

Apr 16, 2007 Bottle courtesy of IMtheOptimator: Poured a hazy slightly dirty yellow color ale with a huge foamy head with good retention and good lacing. Aroma of estery yeast and spices is quite dominant as well as some tropical fruit- like sweetness. Taste is spicier then I would have expected which might be from the spice mix use in this beer or from the yeast strain use in this beer. Body is quite full and alcohol is not discernable. I thought this was reasonably well done for the style and would mind having another taste of it.

Apr 15, 2007 Courtesy redlight. Hazy yellow/gold, large, fluffy white head. Mild aroma of dry, airy, musty yeast, crisp graininess, and a light dose of floral hops. Same flavor with some lemon and generic fruitiness. Medium body, balanced carbonation. Unremarkable.
