Barrios (852), Nashville, Tennessee, USA Jan 5, 2009 Bottle with Butters at Second Cellar Reduction. Vintage 2003 bottle. Fairly white head and golden cloudy appearance. Spicy nose. Honey, spice, some citrus. Nice mouthfeel. aplusbreaks (330), , Colorado, USA Jan 4, 2009 12oz bottle pours a lightly hazy straw color with a small white head, not much retention. Aromas of citrus, lemon and orange zest, and yeast. Flavors are mainly citrus, lemon zest, yeast and there are some hops in there too. Palate is smooth, not to much carbonation. Immiz182 (17), Appleton, Wisconsin, USA Dec 27, 2008 Had this off the tap at Globe Pub in Chicago. Pours a light golden color. Flavorful, although hops dominate the aftertaste. Travlr (700), Washington, Washington DC, USA Dec 10, 2008 Very light straw colored with medium white head. Very light-bodied, really too light. No aroma. Tasted like a rice-brewed light lager, with a bit of lemon zest. I’ll take a pass on this one. kyzr (1119), Belgrade, Montana, USA Dec 5, 2008 Bright gold with small white head. Big hoppy nose with a touch of grain. Flavor is hoppy with citrus that fades to a slight wheat/grain with a nice malt backdrop. General66 (167), Streator, Illinois, USA Nov 30, 2008 12 ounce bottle given to me by a friend. I was not expecting much out of this brew because my buddy said it was nothing too exciting. I think he was wrong...
Poured a deep gold color with a nice sized white head. The aroma consisted of a lot of citrus hops with a little bit of floral in the background. The taste was extremely refreshing with a nice citrus taste with a nice hop character. Finished very smooth making me want more. I thought this was an excellent beer! Probably my favorite wheat beer to date! DSG (1501), Tel Aviv, Israel Nov 27, 2008 (10/12/08) Draught during Riot Fest in Chicago. Clear deep golden with a medium white head. Aroma of citrus hops and some fruits. Sweetish flavor with some wheaty fruitiness, lots of hops, grapefruit, notes of pomelo and a bit of malt. Medium-bodied. Good stuff. beerater (16), Dayton, Ohio, USA Nov 20, 2008 This beer has tons of character. It has complex flavors that remind me of grapefruit with a smooth, crisp finish. A refreshing beer that can complement many flavorful foods. Gave this one such a high rating because it blows away every beer for its style. Would serve this one with everything from crab cakes to ribs.
