Tap OT, Stockholm - unclear goldish color with a disappearing head. Aroma is rather malty with notes of yeast and spices. Flavor is rather malty, with hints of wheat and some oranges. An ok Witbier.

Pours a clear golden color with white head. Full of flavors including malts and citrus fruits. I enjoyed this beer but it is only one I could have on occasion.

Not a fan. It seems to me all of Sam Adam’s seasonal beers taste the same. Light gold, spice and orange, average and light taste.

5/26/08 On Draught at Crickets Coeur d’ Alene, Id. Aroma is malty with caramel and solid noble hop flora, no esters, no citrus. Appearance is clear gold with a well maintained white head. Flavor is sweet malt forward with a well balanced noble hop bittering, and again , no herbal notes at all. Mouthfeel is medium/low bodied with a medium carb texture. Overall, whay is this called a White ale? I even checked to make sure it was poured from the right tap, WTF?

The beer smells quite fruity, and a little yeasty. It looks fairly attractive, it sparkles with sediment, and has a pretty huge fluffy head that goes away. The taste is a bit odd, but plesant none the less. It starts off fruity but ends up very dry and spicy. Notes of citrus, spicy hops amongst a bouquet of other spices. The beer is clean tasting, and fairly easy drinking, it is far better served fridge cold.
