750ml, bottled on April 1, 2005-pours a full, fizzy white head. Color is cloudy yellow/orange. Aroma is malt, yeast and (coriander?/spices). Taste-wow! Starts with lots of carbonation&then the malt&yeast roll over the tongue. Finish is mild. As the ale has a chance to breathe, or, the ale gets a bit warmer, it gets milder all the way around. A nice beer.

Only drawback, the carbonation diminishes throughout the glass of beer. 3.2 -on tap-pours a straw/yellow color with no head. Taste is a smooth grain, light on the carbonation. 3.0

Cask at GBBF Reddish brown colour. Extremely hoppy nose like so many USA IPAs. Nice berry fruit in the mouth with hops and a very hoppy challenging hop finish. Does exactly what it says on the tin.

Much more of a wit than a hefe. A bit sour with several spices; some citrus. Very cloudy and orange but the head is unimpressive after the waitress went to the trouble of turning the bottle upside down over the glass. A good wheat, but I am surprised to see it in the hefeweizen style.
