Nice little beer. Wheaty, vague spices, hint of grapefruit and other citrusy elements. Cloudy yellow color. Light-medium palate and easy drinking, refreshing if almost a tad on the too-sweet side.

On tap at GABF, pours a cloudy yellow with thick frothy off white head. The aroma is gin and tropical fruit. Thin body, orange zest, gin, wheat, light dry finish, very good.

5 oz. sample at the brewery. Aroma is a very mild grapefruit, no yeast, no botanical. Flavor definitely had the "juice" aspect but I could not find Juniper berry any place. The body is super thin. Hate to say it but, watery. It was mostly just mild grapefruit. Not awful or off, just real thin.

Notes from August, 2016. The beer pours a hazy yellow, like the expected Belgian Wit profile. A thin head resolves to a slight ring of foam around the edge of the glass. The smell is more along the lines of lemon and ginger; perhaps when I hear the words juniper berries, I think of gin. The taste has more of a coriander spice or grains of paradise. The total effect is of another slightly tart, light summer beer, good for after chores tor to go with, hmm, tilapia, I think. Or other light meats like chicken or pork. Which leads to the theory I’m working that your easiest beer pairing is to match the color to a wine color: light wheat beers and pilseners for white wine foods, to dark stouts and ports for red wine foods. But there are exceptions everywhere.
