Brewed by Sockeye Brewing
Style: Belgian White (Witbier)
Boise, Idaho USA

Have been waiting a couple years to tast this one. On tap at Sockeye Brewing Boise, Pours out a hazy straw topped with a small head. Aroma of banana, spice, belg yeast, and some malt. Taste was of sweet banana a nice spice and some rich malts.

Tap @ EcoBrew Fest - Pours a dk cloudy yellow with a small white head...aroma is citrus and banana, with some light spice, bready...flavour is malty and nicely sticky, taste is fairly shortlived, but nicely balanced fruity malt and grainy body...

On Tap at the brewpub. A very murky yellowish tan with a large creamy off white head. Lots of heavy lacing. Aroma was a yeasty, banana sweet belgian symphony. Flavor however, ad these similar notes but much more subdued. Feel was thin, light and barley carbonated. The belgian flavors were faint but pleasant, wish it had a little more body.

Tap at brewpub: It has the look of lightly colored homemade apple cider -- murky with a white head and sticky lacing. The aroma was pretty mild - seemed to be ripe bananas, yeast and butterscotch. The taste contained flavors of sweet spices, mild bananas and the aftertaste was like a bowl full of Wheaties! The body is thin and the feel almost watery. Not bad, just not something I would have regularly.

Tap: Muddy orange brown color, light head, some lacing. Nose is yeasty with lots of citrus and light esters. The flavor is nicely hoppy and sweet, thick wheat flavor along with the overpowering yeast. Chewy hefe with a nice floral hop finish. If the hops weren’t here in these levels, this would be awfully difficult to drink.
