Oct 24, 2009 bottle, pours hazy orange with a thin off white head. Aroma is citrus notes with tart lemon in the forefront with lime and a lambic wild yeast funk. Very nice refreshing flavors of wheat and pale malt, nicely balanced with a solid hop bite and a lemon peel bittersweet finish. Carbonation is high with an extremely crisp mouthfeel and a nice lingering finish. Great stuff.

Oct 6, 2009 Bottle. Pours hazy and golden-amber in hue. A tight head of eggshell colored foam settles slowly to a patchy, clumpy layer, leaving broken, sheety lacing all over the glass. The nose is heavy on doughy sweet bread yeast and candied blond malt, with a creamy chiffon overtone, spicy ginger, and pickled yuzu. Hints of white pepper lend further balancing spice. The flavor is similarly structured, again based in softly sweet, candy glazed cereal grain malt, with peppery spice and notes of dried banana and orange. The palate is velvety smooth and substantial, Initially a little sweet but transitioning to a zesty, peppery, semi-dry finish. Good stuff. Plenty tasty and refreshing.

Oct 6, 2009 Thanks to Rich for the bottle. Poured healthy medium golden with a dense cap of creamy white head.. lovely pour. The aroma picked up soft fruity and floral notes topped with peppery spices and orange zest.. balance was delicate and enjoyable. The flavor had bready and honey notes at the core.. the fruits and flowers from the nose were more accents and slightly bitter here.. orange zest and vanilla around.. finished with fine balance between sweet and tangy character. Medium-bodied with thick carbonation on the palate.. this beer just rolled across the tongue.. spicy and refreshing on the finish. I really dug this one!

Apr 21, 2009 12 oz bottle shared by csbosox. 14-2008 stamped on the label. Pour is a cloudy yellow, golden orange and straight juice orange. Smallish white head. Aroma of spicy earthiness, malt grain, citrus lemon. There is also a spicy component of cloves and white pepper. There is a bunch going on in the nose, and it all comes together quite nicely. Taste is wheat, malt grain, lemon / orange citrus, and the spiciness of the cloves. Nice yeast expression. Palate is medium body, though still light tasting with active carbonation. Nice one. Tangy zesty earthy after taste lingers. Really nice one, thanks for sharing this Chris.
