Sample at GABF 10/08/2016, thanks to my sis for assistance with note-taking. The beer is a hazy orange color with a medium thin off-white head that burns away quickly. Spotty lacing. Yeast, citrus and malt aroma. Medium body with flavors of Citrus, herbal yeast, malt and slight hops. The finish is fruity with a yeast and orange aftertaste. Decent overall.

Tap @ Town Hall. Pours a hazy orange appearance with an off white head. Straw, honey, floral aroma. Fairly tangy, cleanser, floral, honey, a bit solvent-like flavor. Bleh.

Sampled from the tap at the 2010 GTMW. Poured a clear gold with a white head that dissipated to the edges. Aroma was sweet with lots of honey and backing citrus and candied sugar notes. Flavor was similar with honey and candied sugar in the start mellowing to a citrus finish. A bit sweet but not bad.

GABF 2006 - Poured / tasted this at the festival (yep, I was one of the guys yelling THUNDERSTORM), very clear, elements of citrus and sweetness throughout.

I think you guys are way off on this one. I would classify this beer as an American wheat, or possibly a fruit beer. Not much aroma, some hops. Golden color, no head. Flavor is complex but not great. Hops, wheat, candy, and fruit are all there but none are especially good. A fair effort.
