Draught at the blind tiger. Pours golden with a firm white head. Hoppy aroma of oranges. Very drinkable, smooth with a balanced bitterness.

On tap @ Mikkeller Bar. This one pours a mild golden soft blurry looking body under a medium sized just off-white lacing head. Like the aroma, reminds me of the dry yeast t58?. It's superbly fruity, lots of nice peachy sweetness, lemonade, it's well hopped also. Also there's citrus and citrus zest here. Grapefruit and it just oozes fresh. Nice! Really high in the carbonation this, not too aggressive but it almost grows in the mouth. More balanced in the taste. Hay and straw, I get oranges and clementine zest. Lots of lemon in the taste also. Good bitterness in this one. Really flavorful. 15.10.2015

16 ounce can. Pours a hazy straw gold color. Small creamy white head. Fragrant, lemony wheat malt nose has spicy hop notes. Tart, lemon-lime wheat malt flavor front. More juicy, spicy hops come through, though not overpowering. Finish is dry and reminiscent of Ritz crackers. Quite tasty.

Pour is your typical looking wheat beer, cloudy yellow with a large white head. Aroma is nice with a definite wheat malt but there is a nice Australian juicy hop in the background. Flavor is more of a pale ale or IPA with a nice fruity hop with just a little bitterness. Pretty good. At least they just didn’t make another boring wheat ale.

Can into a solo cup showing moderate to well filtered honey orange with a half a finger of quickly dissipating white foam. The nose shows light notes of juicy orange, guava, passionfruit, and The palate is medium bodied and moderately carbonated. Flavors of light banana with subtle citric orange and tangerine. Very light bitterness on finish. Moderate citric spiciness throughout and on the finish.

Can. Pours hazy golden, medium white head, good lacing. Aroma is wheat, perfume, pine. Flavor is light sweet, light bitter. Some perfumy floral hops notes and a wheat ale base. Not fresh perhaps? It just arrived here. Light plus body. Meh

16 oz. can. It pours a pale yellow color with a fizzy head. The aroma is strong with grapefruit and light lemon peel. Hints of orange. Lots of citrus and very crisp on the nose. The flavor is the same. Super dry and crisp with hints of orange/grapefruit citrus with almost no maltiness. Light bodied with low citrusy bitterness. A nice crusher for sure.
