Bottle. Poured a deep and cloudy golden body with nice head. Aroma is light citrus, bread and a nice floral boutique. Flavor is lightlt citrus hops, bread, spices and some light hints of thyme and tarragon. This one exceeded my expectations.

Aug 17, 2008 22 oz. pours golden and clear with nice white head. aroma is hopped with citrus and a little yeast. mouthful is crisp and refreshing. very similar to the hop sun but with a longer hop finnish. definitely a great big brother of hop sun.

Aug 4, 2008 Bomber into trappist glass spslit with pbrain. Pours a hazy gold with a loose, fluffy, ivory head that laces nicely. The nose is of solid wheat malt with a nice complement of lightly citric and mildly resinous hops. On the light side of medium-bodied, with a soft grainy-wheat mouthfeel, it finishes bitter and dry with just a touch of alcohol on the exhale. The flavor features a sweet, wheaty malt front with a nice hit of citric and slightly resinous hops at the lingering, bitter finish - a nice change from the typical wheat-based brew. This one is pretty tasty and it’s my kind of wheat beer: bigger bodied, higher in ABV and featuring a solid hop backing.

Aug 3, 2008 Pours out a lemon gold with fluffy white head. Nose- some citrus and pepper. Taste- wheat malts give it a sweet but dry kick. Grassy bittering hops are very pronounced. Finishes dry with alcohol heat. Really dries out the mouth. Some plastic in the aftertaste.

Aug 2, 2008 Aroma is hoppy and wheaty, somewhat redolent of Gumball Head, but less citrus.
Taste is very similar. Crisp, touch of lemons, and a refreshing hoppiness.
Fantastic summer beer, but I am not sure how sessionable this is at 8 percent.

Jul 31, 2008 Updated: Aug 7, 2008Bottled at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Pours out in a clear pale golden colour with a low whipped white foam. Sweet, fruity and perfumy hop aroma of peaches, nectarines, flowers, Seville oranges, leaves and sugar. Medium to full-bodied with touches of peaches and flowers with hoppy undertones of leaves and grass. Medium-bitter finish of lemon-zest, leaves and grass with a dense perfumy undertone of peaches. Quite sugary and dense.
