draft - Pours slightly cloudy and yellowish with a thin head. The aroma is mainly of yeast with a wheat flavor to match that also displays mild citrus notes. It has a too thin body and a slightly off aftertaste. I didn’t find it as sour as some other reviewers, but I’m not terribly impressed either. It’s average at best.

Draught at Redbones on 8/12/06.
Lucid, white gold intersparsed with straw and lemon peel yellows. Cloudy, but not muddy. Creamy, dense white head is extremely small, a third a finger in height, and receding to partial cover, with minimal lacing.
Heavy coriander in the nose, takes a while to emerge, and citrus peel and nutty wheat are shown up front before the coriander begins to bite at the nose. Dry, with only marginal fruit esters and bubble gum, but a strong, herbal aroma.
Massive coriander acidity in the flavor, is very astringent, and very acidic for the style. As if it were meant to be a Belgian IPA, only substituting coriander for hops. Otherwise clean, with smooth wheat in the mouth, some light citrus tones and just a splash of honey and dough. Low to moderate carbonation, some wateriness on the end. Very, very bitter and astringent, much too much so. Palate is heavily fatigued by the end of the glass, which is ridiculous, as this is supposed to be a refreshing summer drink. And Concord certainly arent the only ones guilty of this.
