Pours golden pour with quite possibly the biggest head I’ve seen. Very bubbly. Strong aroma of yeast and malts. Flavor of orange peel, malt, and a bit of spice. Nicely balanced and a good mouth feel. Finish remains balanced between sweet and bitter. Very nice beer overall.

On tap @ Judges Bench-Ellicott City Md.-Light golden color w/a moderate white head. Sweet, dry hop aroma. Flavors of grass/grain/hay, banana, spice, reminded me a little bit of a Hefe. Light, dry, easy drinking brew. Very enjoyable; alcohol very well hidden, no Idea it was this high. Long dry finish; good brew!

Great beer. Great balance, great on the palate. Finish is almost perfect which prevents me from giving it the top rating. I must disclose that I am not big on the more fruity beers, so that is what moves it down a notch for me.

Golden blonde pour into thick white foamy head that dissipates into melting lacing as carbonated bubbles rise from the bottom of the glass into a swirling pool of foam. Aroma of sweet yeasty bread, malted grain and grassy hops. Initial flavor of wheat bread and sweet banana citrus fading into a buttery finish with hints of peppery spice.

Bottle courtesy of Fratto. Hazy yellow pour with very apparent sediment in the pour. Spicy smell of lemon and citrus. Dry wheat. A bit of cilantro can be found also. Taste is spicy cilantro and citrus. A slight bit of black pepper. Finish is slightly sweet. Some bitterness. Flavorful but rough.

Had this for the first time last night...came from the tap in its own glass. Had a tanned blonde color and soft head. I had a somewhat difficult time picking up the scent...I don’t know if it was where I was, or if my nose wasn’t working. The taste was fantastic though. It was hard to pick out an individual flavor, but it was a nice fruity blend that seemed to have a slightly peachy taste. In addition, I could sense a nice sugar lingering in the background. Overall, a great beverage that I want to try again...this time from a bottle.
