On tap at the brewpub. Pours a cloudy amber with a golden hue and an off-white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of clove and spice with note of flora and sweet dark grains. Flavor has sweet grains up front quickly joined by spices and clove with a hint of alcohol in the finish.

The beer was served too cold and lacked all character; it was nearly indistinguishable from the Belgian ale they were serving at the same time. As it warmed the qualities started to show. The beer is cloudy brown with a small white head. The aroma has some wheat and light citrus; the aroma leads to the expectation of a sweet beer. This is like a light dunkelweizen. All appropriate aromas and flavors are there but a little lighter than they should be. Still a fairly good beer when it has a chance to warm. This one will be available for a while, and it is great to see TH branch out into another style. -----A month after my first taste, the beer has had some time to mature and subtle flavors of wheat and citrus and more abundant, but still seem underdone. The alcohol bite remains. Good.
