650ml bottle. Pours a cloudy pale amber with a medium, frothy, long lasting, white head that laces. Sweet aroma of orange, coriander and yeast. Sweet flavour of orange, lemon, coriander and wheat with a mildly dry, yeasty finish. Light body with a watery finish and average carbonation. Refreshing. A good thirst quencher.

A nicely made wit beer that contrasts with the rather average offeringa of Fernie. Highly drinkable. Good wit notes with soft hops hints. Medium finish. Could easily drink a hundred more.

Bottle. Light spicy easy nose. Cloudy yellow, lowish head. Tart citric yeasty base, medium light wheat malt base, dry spiciness, slightly necrotic, quick anonymous finish. needs a bit more oomph.

Muddy light tan colour, has a sweaty yeast character, and a fair bit of tartness. Not clean and while it’s quite wheaty the spice elements aren’t apparent. 33C and I was having trouble with it - not a good sign.

Draught at Rogue Kitchen & Wetbar (W. Broadway), Vancouver
Cloudy pale blond color with compact head. Nice aroma, white bread, malt, sweet. Smooth and dry mouthfeel, a bit weak; it has a mild flavor of white bread, cornmeal, with fresh accent (touch of coriander); low bitterness.
Nicely made.

Poured from 650mL bottle. Clear, pale yellow with dissipating white head. Aroma of light grain bread, mild yeast and coriander. Very wheaty taste with a little cereal grain. Light body, not much of a finish. Nothing bad or off about the beer, just quite uninspired and bland.

Bottle: Poured a pale yellow color ale with white hues and a large white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of coriander and orange peel with some lightly sweet wheat malt notes. Taste is also dominated by coriander and orange peel with some lightly sweet wheat malt notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. This is a pretty good example of the style with some complexity while retaining a good level of drinkability.

650 ml bottle. Pours a hazy yellow without much head. Light vegetable aroma. Definite vegetable earthy taste with notes of yeast, coriander, and lemon.

Murky yellow.foamy lasting white head.Neutral nose. Vague spiciness in palate. Fizzy somewhat sweet palate. Boring and not a good example of the style

Bottled from Kimberley, BC. Cloudy amber, small airy head. Mild orange aroma. Mid sweet with rounded mouthfeel and light-medium body. Fairly low on spices. A mild, almost neutral but highly refreshing beer.
