1 liter swingtop 2005 poured a clear golden yellow with a small lasting white head. Aromas of pineapple, honey, pear and yeast. Palate was light bodied and slightly syrupy. Flavors of pear, apple, light spice,pepper and a hint of honey with a sweet warming finish.

Rock Botton- San Jose, CA: It actually looks like crystalized honey in the glass. Super wheaty aroma with banana overtones. Watery, but with a fruity, wheaty flavor. Not a lot of body to it though, unfortunately. VERY watery-- no, TOO watery. If I could have given Palate a zero I would have.
