Feb 26, 2006 Thin golden orange under a thick light bubble head. Good pale ale hop aroma. Light body. Nicely hopped. Almost champagne-like mixed with an IPA. Better than an under-malted IPA but as an over-hopped wheat it isn’t as nice as a good IPA. Kind of a mixed style.

Feb 19, 2006 Nice orange color with decent foamy lacing white head. Aroma is of lots of west coast hops and some grapefruit, some orange blossom, some lemon zest. Much the same for the flavor, only adding some yeast and some alcohol burn to it. Pretty damn decent. Thanks Shag. THought I’d had this one,but I hadn’t.

Feb 18, 2006 Cloudy orange body with a good sized head. Granted I poured it like a jackass, but after having Stone’s 8th just prior... I had to test it. Aroma is hops.... grapefruit and citrus. Flavor has the hops... but also some alcohol. Grrr. It’s an American Wheat with a lot of hops. Nothing like Ruinition (thank god!), but enough to make it interesting and different. It could really use some refinement though as it felt a little off balance. Very drinkable, but kind of a mess with the jumble of flavors and the alcohol taste in the background.

Feb 18, 2006 Bought a whole case of it cause I liked last years a lot. Heard it was a "wheat wine" and got scared. At first I liked it, pours out a nice orange/yellowish color with a good amount of carbonation. Hops on the nose. Taste is mild, but drinkable with notes of some spice and hops. Good beer to try, but gets very old after you’ve had a few

Feb 17, 2006 a good beer and a decent year but wasn’t really for me. appreciate the strength but the blend is not too pleasing for this palate. worth a try, though.

Feb 16, 2006 Pours a orange-gold, lots of carbonation, and a quick diminishing white head. Sweet floral, lightly citrus nose - almost has an orange soda scent about it. Flavor is not as complex as the wonderful nose - light malt, some weak spiciness, lightly bitter. There is a slight alcohol warmness toward the end. Finish is lightly bitter. What happened to the wheat? Don’t know. Body is pretty even. Good? Yes. Great? No. 8th was far better.

Feb 14, 2006 My wife pegged it: a strong cross between a banananosed hefe and a floral IPA. Good, but I actually would have liked to taste a version with a lower ABV. This would have made a great session ale. As is, though, a nice sipper.

Feb 10, 2006 well. i like it a lot, but somehow it just ends up seeming kinda of run-of-the-mill. the aroma was pretty terrific. honestly, this seemed a lot like a dreadnaught without the punch. i guess the point is that it’s a pretty terrific beer, but i was hoping for more. for my money, i think i’ll stick with three floyds in this vein.
