May 26, 2008 Medium sized white head, decent retention and lace. Lightly hazy with a yellow, light gold color. Nose is nice, Citrus, lightly bready malts, orangey and spicey, light bananna notes too boot. Light bodied, light oilyness and a prickly carbonation. Wheaty grainy flavors greet you with some nice spicey notes, coriander, citrus, slight vegetal notes, light doughyness. Clean, spicey, almost dry finish. A groovy Wit! Thanks to Mr. Fry for the bottle. YEEHAW!

Mar 14, 2008 12 oz bottle courtesy of Fly: “Prickly Wit” version brewed for the 2007 Brewer’s Association Craft Brewers Conference in Austin, TX. Poured golden yellow with a medium sized white head. Slight haze to it. Mild grain and floral hop aroma. Grain and hops seem to dominate the flavor. Light lemon and mild sweetness. Good.

Dec 14, 2007 On tap at Logan’s pre-GABF party. Has a really strong yeasty sulfur-like aroma. Cloudy pale yellow with a thick white head. Palate is very milky. Tastes of lemon and banana from the esters. Cloves as well. Hard to get past the sulfurous aroma, though.
