750mL cork and cage bottle. Batch 3.. The cork was poorly placed in this bottle but fortunately no undesired effects. Pours with a medium large head that has a good retention and a nicely sticky lacing. Color is a cloudy very pale golden and it glows despite the cloudiness. Looks pretty. Aroma is medium strength citrus and lemon. Effervescent on the nose. Just a faint hint bubblegum ester. Flavor is not strong, a very dry flavor with citrus tang and just a faint hint of bubblegum ester, which works very will with the beer. Its exceptionally executed. No elements that dominate and beautifully melded with a drying brew. A very light easy drinking mouthfeel. with a long dry aftertaste I do not get any ginger but I know I am not sensitive to it. I am not sure why this is rating so poorly but it may be batch variations. Great to drink, this beer has turned around my view of Augusta Brewery.

Bottle as Augusta farmhouse witbier. Pour is a bright but cloudy yellow with a small fizzy head. Aroma is ok with some spice, yeast and a bit of lemon. Flavor is dull pale malts and a bit of creamy yeast. The finish is what kills this as it leaves a soapyness on the tounge after the swallow. Nothing i really need to have again.

Sample at the brewpub. This brew is a bright golden color with a medium thin white head that recedes steadily. Small fragments of lacing on the glass. The aroma is spicy and soapy. Light-bodied with flavors of vanilla, spices and overripe fruits. The finish tastes odd, a comnination of tangy fruits and soap. Overall this is below average, and difficult to tell if it is the beer itself or maybe something to do with the storage or serving. The other beers I tried seemed fine so this one might deserve revisiting at a later date.
