Pour is a hazy peach color with a small white head. Aroma is floral and fruity with some green tea. Flavor is a bit of mellow pine and sweet citrus fruit. Nothing is over the top with this beer but it is a nice almost candy covered fruit hop with almost no bitterness. Solid.

Can poured at Craft Beer Cellar Clayton. Pours a clearish orange with a small bit of foam that dissipates quickly. Orange and grain-forward nose. Wheat husks and lemon zest. Dry with low carbonation. Pithy, but low bitterness on the finish. Pretty nice. --- Beer merged from original tick of Citrus Wheat on 18 Sep 2017 at 22:07 - Score: 7. Original review text: Orange and grain-forward nose. Wheat husks and lemon zest. Dry, low carbonation. Pithy low bitter finish. Refreshing.

Pour is a almost dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma is a woodsy hop with a strong caramel malt backbone. Flavor is pretty much a malt bomb with very little hop or bitterness. Once I saw the beer pouring out of the can I could tell this was not going to be for me. Even though there is not a huge sweet caramel malt there is barley any hops presence. I guess this brewer does not but a date on their stuff but this is not old but it taste like it is.

16 oz can, with huge thanks to Greg for the can. A treat to try these guys. A muddy brown pour with a thin fizz head. A soft milk chocolate like aroma. A unique porter here. Delicious for sure. Cool soft nutty malt, milk chocolate, the lightest roasted coffee, slight vanilla, and a late nutty reminder late. I really dig this porter. Drinks nice. Cool, refreshing. Very nice.

9 oz draft at Bailey’s Range in St. Louis, Missouri. The pour is clear brown orange with a small off white head. The aroma is toast malt, caramel nut soft sweetness, and floral dry hop notes. The taste is the fresh clean malt notes of toast, caramel, nut with the floral grass drying out the finish, and cutting the soft sweetness. The palate is medium to light bodied, soft natural carbonation and clean malt, dry grass finish. Nice Oktoberfest.

Pour is a murky orange with a small white head. Aroma is pretty much hop forward with some caramel malt trying to sneak in there. Flavor is again a decent but not over the top hop with a full chewy mouth feel. It’s ok. Not enough hops presence to give it a better score. Drink this one a fresh as possible because once the hops fade this will turn into a malt bomb real fast.
