Bottle. Pours a hazy pale gold with a thin white head. Aroma is a little bit off. Seems to want to have a citrus aroma but it smells a little bit old and musty. Also a note of a sugar cake. Flavor has a citrus note as well as yeasty and malty notes.

Had at a random bar near the hotel at my brother’s wedding in Indianapolis. Wasn’t too bad, but it wasn’t anything special.

Found this one bottled at a liquor store in St. John, Indiana, as part of a mix 12 pack of various beers from Indiana brewers. Clear, medium yellow pour with a nice, thick white head, a very pronounced and complicated nose of orange, grape, and rye, flavor is potent, complex, with plum, lemon, spice and flowers. Strong, fortified finish. I was pleasantly surprised by this brew!

Hazy murky straw yellow with some white head. I smell mostly wheat and a bit of orange peal. A little corriander flavor but balanced by orange. Medium body and fluffy.

Sampled from a 12-oz bottle during Dark Lord Day ’09 at table 2. Pours a clear golden amber colored brew with an average sized off-white head that slowly dissipates to a thin ring. Aroma of coriander, golden grain malt with biscuit, a hint of dried fruit and orange peel. Taste is medium bodied, some carbonation with flavors of golden grain malt, some wheat, coriander, orange zest and a touch of yeast. Finish is crisp, clean cut with some light orange peel aftertaste.

Location: 12 oz bottle from Sahara Mart (Bloomington, IN), 5/15/09
Part of the totally and completely made up"The Geororodanda Beer Sampling Party"

Aroma: Nose of biscuit, citrus, spice, and lots of fruits
Appearance: Hazy yellow color, soapy looking head
Flavor: Similar to the nose, sweet, but the spice is more dominant in the taste then in the nose
Palate: Chalky, medium body
Overall Impression: A pretty decent White, I liked it. Wouldn’t call it great, but I’d drink it again. Has some interesting characteristics that make it a little different then most, particularly in the nose.

12oz bottle. Pours a hazy yellow golden with a medium white sudsy froth that fades into a dense cream. Fragrant aroma, peachy, apple, juicy, sweet, well integrated spices. This is a very nice Belgian White, it hasn’t been rated in a while so I’m wondering how much of a recipe update they have done because this is quite good. Taste is sweet but not assertive, soft fruits, peaches, apples, hint of floral notes, light spices, orange slices, nice wheat profile, quick dry finish. A very nice drinking wit that has great balance, not overly sweet or spiced. Medium body, a bit chalky but mostly a juicy feeling, softer medium soda carbonation.
