Golden-straw colour. Grainy, creamed corn nose. Canned corn, grain and a hint of hop on the palate. Reasonably dry despite all the residual sugars. Iβm really not a fan but he definitely hit the mark as far as my understanding of the concept.

On tap at Stoneβs World Bistro early 01/08. Pours clear gold with lasting thin head of white foam and sheet lacing. The aroma is sweet sugary malts and floral to spice hoppiness. Taste begins with both sweet malts and floral to pine hops. The hop bitterness grows as the taste moves forward really showing a combination of bittering notes like floral, spice and pine hops as well as some grapefruit hops near the finish.

Draught at Lucky Baldwins, Pasadena, California. Cloudy golden, small head. Light banana aroma. Medium sweet with light-medium body. A light, weird root beer flavour sets in. Low bitterness. A drinkable but somewhat peculiar hefeweizen.

Draught at Lucky Baldwins, Pasadena, California. Hazy golden, small head. Light grapefruit aroma. Dry, clean and crisp. light bodied - perhaps too much so. Quite hoppy with medium bitterness. A very drinkable summer beer, but the light body in combination with clean mouthfeel makes it a bit sharp. Scaling their regular IPA down didnβt really work all that well, but itβs stil a worthwile effort.
