fredandboboflo (633), East Setauket, New York, USA Jul 13, 2008 Bottle. Aroma of wheat, grass, hay, earth, mustiness. Flavor of playful bittering hops, mildly grainy wheat, some mustiness/funk. Notes of citrus, citrus peel, and other spices often present in this brew were buried in the background (old bottle?), but the result was still stellar. A beautifully constructed classic.
Changed (70), Ithaca, New York, USA Oct 9, 2008 22oz bomber. Pours cloudy yellow, good amount of airy head. More lacing than a pair of Jordan’s...! Head dissipates quickly. Aroma of a hefeweizen, taste is a bit different. Creamy, maybe some vanilla, citrus fruit. Distinct finish that I can’t put my finger on. This type of beer isn’t my favorite, but this one tastes pretty damn good. nbutler11 (219), Phoenix, Arizona, USA Oct 6, 2008 Updated: Oct 7, 2008Pours a hazy apricot color from the bomber with an eruption of frothy off-white foam that leaves graffiti-like lacing. Smells of banana and yeast, almost like a hefe, but tastes of cream, orange peel, straw, hops, and mild vanilla. Finshes with a little copper and alcohol. An interesting brew to say the least. darkguardian (195), Florida, USA Sep 27, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a orange amber that is cloudy with a rocky foamy quickly disappearing head. Nose is slight sour funky with a nice yeast underpinning. Some light citrus and hay also. Taste is way to strong on the alcohol. Thats all you taste up front. Creamy body with a lot of yeast and a lightly hoppy and lightly bitter finish of spice and a little funk. If it weren’t for the heavy alcohol note this would be a winner. As a western take on a saison though, this works pretty well. Lingering notes of Caramel and Vanilla and a very slight sour note redeem this one. Not too bad. MartiniFiend (104), Mount Horeb, Wisconsin, USA Sep 26, 2008 Bottle. Pours cloudy gold with a foamy head. Lots of lacing from start to finish. Hop aroma hith a hint of yeast. Thick abd creamy to the palate. flavor is hoppy at first with a sweet finish. SHANER4 (211), Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA Sep 26, 2008 Poured a hazy golden color with thick white head. Aroma is sweet malt, citrus and yeast. Flavor is light, sweet and spicy on tongue. Overall a great brew and the high abv. is a bonus.
