Jul 9, 2006 Diacetyl in the aroma and flavor. A bit of citrus lime pops up, but none of the hefe influence claimed on the bottle. Color is as orange as I have ever seen, so it is interesting, but not exactly appealing. No head. Very little carbonation and extremely watery. A tad bit of alcohol in the flavor as well.

Jul 8, 2006 Enjoyed with friends on the 4th of July as a vertical tasting. Pours golden with lovely carbonation and a light but lasting head. Grassy, spicy, pepper aroma with biscuit malts and a sharp acidic citrus hint. The flavor has caramel, spice, grass, clove (perhaps ginger). Interesting overall. Some malt sweetness and noble like hop presence. Well balanced. Creamy body. I enjoyed 03 better but this was not bad.

Jun 19, 2006 Caramel, honey, citrus, spice all in the nose. Pours golden. The flavor was quite complex, caramel, spice, and fruit.

Jun 18, 2006 Big thanks to Blankboy for being generous enough to send this my way. Pours a slight hazed orange with a creamy one finger froth, that recedes and leaves minute lace. Aromas are a blast of pineapples, yeasty esters, mint sprigs, banana. and malts. Sweet fruity mint flavours are nice. Lots of plum, pineapple, yeasty with white bread. Sugared citrus fruit finish. A good example, glad I drank it now, as I don’t see it lasting too much longer. Thanks for the opportunity Paul!

Jun 4, 2006 Very interesting beer. Excellent balance. I was surprised to hear the ingredient list, as I had a hard time pinning down the flavors. Definitely worth a try, especially if you like Belgian Strongs.

May 8, 2006 Managed to find a bottle of this. Poured out with ample carbonation to bring about a thick white head. The color has a hazy orange-ish hue. I get the aroma of lime and banana mixed with alcohol, interesting. There is a bit of malt aroma hiding out in the back. The taste reminds me of many a Belgium type beer with the spice presence along with the twisted yeast-lime-banana-hop combination. The flavors are just picked from the garden fresh.

Mar 23, 2006 I really wanted to like this more, but I couldn’t get past this medicinal/ jello flavor. Starts very bright citrus, and then gives way to an aftertaste that reminds me of fruit "flavored" candies. The banana is quite a bit to me, with a band-aid hit. Smells really nice, and for fans of the hefe flavors I’m sure quite nice.
At least it isn’t boring, and well worth a try, even if not my cup of tea.

Mar 21, 2006 Had this as part of a tasting of the 03, 04, and 05. This one really stood out. There was a lot of drinking in a public place this night, so my description isn’t as detailed as usual. This had your standard witbier flavors - bright citrus and corriander, slightly tart wheat. But there were some extras as well: it definitely was bigger than a typical wit, the lime flavor hasn’t melded with the other flavors yet - it definitely stood out, and there was quite a bit more bitterness than a normal wit, such that it was out of balance. We’ll see how it tastes in another 6 years...
