11/4/08 notes: Hurray for Obama! I had this before the election was determined. Unfortunately, by no means was this a special beer to celebrate with. Poured a cloudy yellow, with an aroma heavy on candy, sugar, and an artificial orange marmalade smell. Complemented by a light palate, I tasted some simple citrus fruit along with some light wheat. Since I had this in a blind tasting, I must admit this tasted like an A-B offering, or at best, one of Leinenkugal’s girly wheats.

A milky opaque yellow wit with a thin white head. A lightly skunky wild herbal aroma, with odd sulfury notes. In mouth, fresh and creamy wit, rathe rlight and, in the end, non-descript. Sampled at Vermont Brewfest July 19 2008.

Bottle. Slighthly cloudy yellow pour with a thin white head. Aroma of lemongrass and orange peel. Taste of wheat and lemon with some other spices. Even slightly sweet finish.

Decent Belgium interpretation. I did think the flavour and taste of the wheat and citrus where a little on the weaker side and the taste was not quite as refined as the classics but a decent beer.

bottle stamped 6/6/08 poured into a weizen glass has a light golden color with a thin white head that fell quickly to a ring in the glass. aroma has clover, lemon peel, light perfumed spice, wheat, and yeast. actually a nice nose for a long trail with some honey sweetness growing. mouth feel is light with lower end carbonation. flavor has clover, nice sweetness with a honey like kicker, lighter wheat, and complementing spices. takes a different approach at a white with the citrus and was easy drinking and enjoyable.
