Poured a dirty golden color finishing off with an average yellow with very little head. The aroma was atrocious as it smelled like vomit. The flavor was actually not bad with hints of fruity lemon, but that’s about it. A very strange tasting beer, unlike any other spring time seasonal ale or any other beer for that matter.

On tap at Bishops Arms, Vasagatan in June 09. Unfortunately, a boring beer, smelled and tasted not much not much. A slightly spicy taste, some citrus tones and yeast. Very easy to drink and thin beer, not much aftertaste.

From notes... Light golden pour. Light floral aroma with some orange peel sweetness. Flavor is light and crisp with a bit of a zesty tang. Not a bad wit but not a standout.

Delicious ale! The name makes you think it is going to be very light but when you see it and taste it you are surprised by the big flavor and color. I really enjoyed it and will definitely buy it again. I didn’t think it fit the style though. maybe that’s because it tasted so good and most wheat beers are banana bombs.

Great aroma with subtle hints of spice on the nose. Attractive in the glass, darker than I expected. Very nice without the overt coriander of Hoegaarden.

I’m not really into wheat beer, but this one seemed about as mediocre as they come.

Aroma of orange rinds plus a touch of spice. Cloudy honey color with a spicy flavor & citrus aftertaste. Overall, it’s ok I guess, nothing that got me excited... it would probably be better on tap.

12oz bottle into a pint glass. I was not impressed with this one bit. A somewhat poor copy of whites.

Aroma is of apricot & maybe some passion fruit with a bit of bread. There is some amount of cream on the palate. Im getting some pumpkin possibly, vanilla, lemon zest, and caramelized banana. This is a somewhat complicated beer. Doesnt necessarily work for me but there is definite depth to this that others may be fond of.
