bonbright7 (173), Bellport, New York, USA Sep 20, 2007 Bottle:Trade prize. The heavy aroma of hops made me think this was more of an IPA than a wheat beer. The nuances were very expressive as I took the first taste into the realms of the ale. The medium light body reminded me with banana that this was a summer style beer, but one that I could easily drink all night. jason (1620), Easton, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 12, 2007 Bottle. Pours an deep golden body with huge head, in fact it took me forever to empty out the contents of the bottle. Aroma was very pleasant, very floral smell. Flavor was nice, very hoppy for the style, heavy bitterness. While this is a good beer, it’s not one I would grab again. It seems to have an ever changing taste and feel to it. It’s feels like it is a step or two away from being great. marcus (1826), Sacramento, California, USA Sep 6, 2007 On tap at Map Room (Chicago). This cloudy yellow ale poured with a decent off-white head. The flavor is quite interesting - fairly hoppy with a candy-like taste and a sharp bite at the finish. kp (8400), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Sep 1, 2007 Updated: Jan 17, 2009

hombrepalo (748), Chicago, Illinois, USA Aug 29, 2007 Like most Three Floyds this beer has lots of flavor. But whats with the name? Anyways, the beer is pretty good. A good summertime beer. Enjoyable! TimE (1300), Tokyo, Japan Aug 28, 2007 Golden color, huge huge bubbles that quickly disappaite. Lemon bubblegum and pne in the nose. Very unusual and definetely American. Big hoppy mouth, that is sour and hoppy. No wait, big phenolics dominate the mouth. Moderately bitter finish. The phenolic heads in Japan would love this, as did the Japanese girl I drank this with.
badlizard (2325), Berkeley, California, USA Aug 27, 2007 350 ml bottle mailorder from archerliquors. Clear golden yellow with a fizzy white head. Floral hoppy aroma. sweet malty taste with a fruity taste to the finish. HopBackDoc (393), Hatboro, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 27, 2007 22 oz. bomber poured a hazy golden color with medium thick head. Aroma of citrus, hops and spices. Flavor was very different for a wheat beer. Grains, hops, lemon and spices all blended together nicely to make this hop lover quite happy. Very enjoyable brew.
