Bottle. Has won many medals! Medium amber color, low fine head. Rather fragrant aroma of amber malt, caramel, and lots of hops. Some grass or hay as well, some darkish fruits-though I can’t put my finger on what. Nice nose, not your average pale ale. Rich malt flavor, with caramel, earthy tones, dark fruits. Slightly sweet. Medium hop character, some aroma, not much bitterness. Light on the whole, but nice flavor. Finish is a bit sweet, with caramel, amber malt, fruit, but not much hops for having 4 varieties included! Decent enough, though should be hoppier.

Bottle. Orange-golden color, cloudy, medium to high white head. Sturdy head. Aroma of wheat malt, cloves, bananas, and good hops. A touch of butter too. Creamy, fruity, and quite hoppy. A touch of pine and earth as well. Very fragrant and quite complex. Cleanish flavor, decent wheat malt, bananas and cloves. Some aroma hops as well. Butter, citrus. Clean and nice. Finish is sour / citrus mixed with hop bitterness. Crisp, clean, and pretty long lasting for a wheat. Well done. Not mind-blowing, but good.
