Sample at homebrew club last night. Hazy deep yellow color with a thin white head. Earthy spicy wheat malt on the nose and in the flavor. Earthy pine tropical citrus hoppiness counters. In my opinion the body is horribly lacking and feel’s a bit watery, I’m not a fan.

Met my buddy for lunch in Burlington, MA which nicely had decent draft list been after some Notch for a bit. Nose is grassy and some citrus. Tastes grassy, grapefruit, earthy, wheat, and biscuits. Smooth palate and little zesty.

Can pour into nonic pint glass from Julio’s Liquors. Appearance is cloudy, pale yellow with greenish tinge, effervescent sparkle, finger-width fizzy white head with fair retention and minimal lacing. Aroma is tropical fruit, citrus, wheat, grapefruit. Taste is moderately sweet tropical fruit with strong grapefruit and citrus, light wheat. Palate is medium bodied with thick texture , average carbonation and sweet fruit/grapefruit/citrus finish. Overall, a nice beer filled with juicy, fruity flavors. The wheat is more noticeable in the palate and aroma than taste.

Pours gold into a shaker. Off white head with medium retention recedes to hug rim. Tropical fruit and resin aromas. Soft with caramel and mango upfront turning to mild pith in the lasting finish.

Fresh can drunk 6/16/16 at Bisq.
Big white head tops a lightly hazy, amber-copper body. Head retention is moderately strong.
Very fruity in the nose and unsurprisingly, a good deal like CBC’s The Cure. The hops are more straightforward with the juiciness here and there is a bit of grapefruit pith and sweat from the citra. Wheat in background and light biscuity malts add more than enough to balance the hops, though they do so very drily. No alcohol or flaw.
Very juicy in the mouth, but with a ton of dry wheat, grain and light breadiness. Fairly engaging carbonation and some grassiness and more cream-of-wheat like character linger amongst the mango, nectarine and peach. A bit of pithiness as well, with no alcohol or flaw.

12oz can pours a lightly hazy gold with some lacing, creamy, white head. Nose is grassy, lemon, pine, some feet/skunk, chive, heavy garlic scape. Flavor has just a little bread/honey sweetness, chives, grass, lemon, a little paper, some herbs. Dry finish. Very drinkable.
