Refreshment or bust! Orange peel, coriander, and chamomile stake their claim in this unfiltered White Ale, named for our fair city's founder, Moses Cleaveland.

Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a pint glass and a mug. The head in the mug was at least a good finger and a half more than what was in the pint glass. Other than that, here’s the rest.
The appearance was a fairly decent light hazy golden yellow color. The head faded at a nice pace and allowed a decent speckled sort of lacing gracing the sides of both glasses.
The smell had a yeasty/slightly bready aroma rolling over top of some light lemon and banana.
The taste starts off bready but leads to a fairly decent lighter citrus lemon flavor. The aftertaste was about the same and lead to a dry finish.
On the palate, this one sat fairly light and yet still had a good carbonation for a witbier - harsh but not overly done.
Overall, I say this was a fairly easy drinking beer - good for a witbier and more than definitely to have in the Summers.

Location: Bottle shared by jcos, 10/19/12
Aroma: The nose of this one is lemon, wheat, and plenty of spice/clove
Appearance: It pours a cloudy yellow-white color with a small white head
Flavor: The taste is medium sweet, it has a good spice balance, and some light hop
Palate: The feel is clean, it has a light-medium body, and spicy tingle to the finish
Overall Impression: I think this is a really nice one. Very quality example of the style. Quite drinkable, and a good (almost) session beer for sure.

Bottle @ Brad’s house Minneapolis. Pours a hazy, whitish yellow appearance with a pearl white head. A bit spicy, nice lemongrass, coriander, straw, sweet malty aroma. Tangy fruity, lemon, refreshing, a bit zesty, lightly spicy, coriander, tasty flavor. Easy to drink and I wish I had access to this on a regular basis.

Bottle. Ripe banana and wheat aroma. Hazy yellow with a moderate white head, light lacing. Wheat malt, coriander, and light peppery flavor. Just a slight herbal bitterness in the finish. Medium creamy body, good carbonation, dry finish.
