Hazy golden color with flocks of yeast, thin white head. Aroma is extremely hoppy, more like an IPA, quite malty, some wheat. Probably, this is a quite typical american wheat, but i cant stop to compare them to belgian whites or german weizens, although it’s a whole different ball game. Taste is a bit flat, sweet of some candy sugar, bit yeasty.

’04. Hop aroma. Red. Flavor of hops then sweet syrup. Sweet finish. A hopped barleywine, it would benefit from less bitter flavor.

Clear light golden with a pretty large head. Smells hoppy, sweet, and only slightly wheaty. Flavor is not that wheaty... it’s pretty hoppy and has a tart tanginess to it, slightly fruitlike. A decent wheat beer, but not one I’ll seek out.

Black with a large brown head. Smells of sweet caramels, candy, and some fruitiness. Flavor starts sweet, with that fruitiness and candy, but finishes bitter and smooth. Nice & tasty... and inexpensive!

Sampled from 2005 bottle. Spicy, almost overdone in that department. Age doesn’t sit well with this one. Not enough malt and hops to overcome some stale spices. Well, that’s just my opinion.Bottled, 2004 Edition. Big, big IPA hoppiness, but not much else to set it apart. Some kind of fruitcake character, probably as in a slight fruit and nut overtone.

On tap at Benno’s in Milwaukee. Deep clear coppery red body, medium off-white head. Piney, citrusy hops aroma with just a touch of caramel. Bright grapefruity hops dominated the palate; fresh hops seem to be this beer’s calling card. Rind, pulp, the whole bit. Complexity, on the other hand, is not this beer’s calling card; the malt bill was understated, and the beer lacked some of the rough pine and toast that are found in its otherwise similar Celebration Ale. That said, this is solid in and of itself, but we’ve all had plenty of other APAs that rival it. Right?

[Vintage 2001 - sampled 2004] A hazy deep red beer with a small light brown disappearing head. The aroma is sweet with notes of fruit and alcohol. The flavor is fruity with notes of strawberries, without much sweetness, but a good hoppyness, that gives it a very dry end.
