Cloudy golden body with white head. Aroma is mild sweet, coriander. Taste is medium sweet, orange, coriander. Smooth light-medium body.

Barrel Draught from the jug at the GABF, Colorado Convention Center 30/09/2005 Golden coloured with a hazy appearance. Slightly dry creamy finish.

Bottle courtesy of stfun. Pours a hazy yellow with a white head. Smells of coriander and oranges. Tastes of grass, some ginger and spice. Pretty middle of the road for the style.

Bottle: The body is a slightly hazed yellow color and the head barely exits even following a vigorous pour. The aroma is lightly lemony and has soft wheat malt, a dash of coriander, and some banana. The flavor is wheaty with a healthy dosage of coriander and a light lemony tartness. Pretty refreshing.

Draft at brewpub. Poured straw color with a moderate white head that lasted. Medium grapefruity aroma. Light body. Average smooth sour wit flavor with a medium finish. Interesting brew.

Hazy blonde with a pleasnt spice coriander aroma. Good white with bananas and cloves in the taste, light bodied, and refreshing. (July 31 at Indiana Microbrewers Festival)

Bottle. Hints of haze in the pale yellow body. The aroma had lots of the corriander and orange zest. There was also some green tea. The taste was strogn citrus oranges with some bread crust. There was also almond shells. Other than the too pale appearance, this was a nice wit.
