Aroma is not too heavy with notes of fruit, citrus and hops of course! Flavor is very dry and hoppy with fruit and some citrus. A nice and refreshing but quite different beer!
galdee (4), Italy does not count | 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Dec 9, 2009 Nice frothy head needs to be poured very gently preferably two or three times without upsetting the sediments. Amber in colour. Great aroma reminds me of mature banana and a slight bubblegumy background.
At first impact a nice sweetness biter/spicy hop flavour, yet finished of with a salty flavour reminiscent of sea water beers.
Definitely a beer that I will drink again. vikingguy (148), Chaska, Minnesota, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Dec 8, 2009 Pours a slightly hazy brilliant orange-gold color. Large foamy head. Very strong bouquet; fruity, earthy, yeasty. Palate is very dry and clean w/ ample carbonation, little to no sweetness. Flavor of fresh hops, yeast, wheat malt and grass. Interesting, not my cup of tea but still respectable. weihenweizen (23), West Virginia, USA
| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Dec 1, 2009 Refrigerated in bottle poured into a Belgium chalice. The taste in general is complex for a lighter colored beer and effervescent. The color is light amber and the head is off white. This beer is well carbonated and has a nice dense fluffy head and good lacing. In particular there is some fruity flavor notes and has a spicy hoppy character. 13mikey (148), New Hope, Minnesota, USA

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 27, 2009 bottle - Before all the tomatoes start heading in my direction I tried this beer 3 times before rating thinking it was just me. I just can’t bring myself to really like this beer. The appearance and aroma promise great things, lots of bready spice and citrus notes, but the flavor really killed my expectations, way too bitter (for my taste). In my opinion way overrated, but since I’m a neophyte at rating I’ll try again in the future.
